How come humor in literature shifts over the years rapidly and extensively?

It doesn't

Because what makes humor work essentially is the unexpected.

Because of fashion.

This happens way too often, also why do college students and professors love long dead memes so much?

That can't be really good.
Also, the "motherly" element of the language is lacking. I mean the highest joy in poetry is that you're reaching sublime heights through the very words used by your mother, your friends from elementary school, or just some alcoholic bum in the street. That is a mystery esperanto, with all its calculated cleverness, cannot reproduce.

Is there any specific literature that serves as a counterargument to Jungian archetypes and the collective unconscious? I understand Kaufmann dismissed the ideas as unscientific dogmatism but various intellectuals also praise them. It's just been hard for me to find a critical work on Jung because everything related to him seems to be written by actual Jungians or theologians using his theories.
Even if there isn't a specific work, a general discussion about it in this thread would be great. I so far find the theory of archetypes to be empirical in the sense that they do exist, but only so far as Jungians are willing to look. They dismiss areas where the theory fails and instead use only its successes as proof of the archetypes' definite existence. That being said, I still find it extremely fascinating.

It's a theory so if you have good data you can jam it into the theoretical categories and interpret the phenomena and if what you uncover seems sufficient to make senses of the mess of data then pat yourself on the back but you very well might just be deluding yourself
>I so far find the theory of archetypes to be empirical in the sense that they do exist,
Maybe it's just the way you're looking at things, if you actually want to question their '''empirical''' reality try dropping archetypes and looking at things differently and maybe you'll see things totally differently and more clearly

Neat, my library has a copy. I'll be back in 5 hours to tell you if it was what I was looking for or not.

“When he reached home Prince Andrei began thinking of his life in Petersburg during those last four months, as if it were something new. He recalled his exertions and solicitations, and the history of his project of army reform, which had been accepted for consideration and which they were trying to pass over in silence simply because another, a very poor one, had already been prepared and submitted to the Emperor. He thought of the meetings of a committee of which Berg was a member. He remembered how carefully and at what length everything relating to form and procedure was discussed at those meetings, and how sedulously and promptly all that related to the gist of the business was evaded. He recalled his labours on the Legal Code, and how painstakingly he had translated the articles of the Roman and French codes into Russian, and he felt ashamed of himself. Then he vividly pictured to himself Bogucharovo, his occupations in the country, his journey to Ryazan, he remembered the peasants, and Dron the village elder, and mentally applying to them the Personal Rights he had divided into paragraphs, he felt astonished that he could have spent so much time on such useless work.”

Yes. Just don't expect it to make sense, especially not the first time through.
>>
>>9324364
Also one of the first books I got when first starting to get into literature. I still haven't finished it.
>>
>>9324364
It's a great book because someone new to literature can enjoy it and those who know a lot about literature can mine its details for the rest of their lives. Its language may seem a little weird at first but I think its beautiful, actually it is objectively beautiful and anyone who disagrees is a pleb. If you're someone from fit who was indoctrinated yesterday this is probably a book you would enjoy

I need your help /lit/, /a/ can't explain to me how anything he had done was wrong.
>Created the only civil mercenary band, was beloved by all
>Treated each of his soldiers with the utmost respect
>The actions of The Band ushered in a period of peace for his country
>Treated his enemies with the utmost respect, all Kushtan soldiers ssfetly immigrated into his nation
>Brokered a historic peace treaty with the demons, humanity is united
>Btw, United all of humanity under the safest citadel in the world
>Defeated the Kushtans
>Purgered the world of degenerate sorcery
>Unified the world under one church, harmony all around
Sure he's done some sketchy things like with the assassinations and band of hawk, all a small price to pay for COMPLETW HARMONY OF ALL MANKIND. Casca is about the only objectively terrible thing he's done. Why the bad rep, /lit/?
