Le s\u00e9rieux n\u2019a pas toujours raison<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Deux naufrag\u00e9s se partagent une \u00eele d\u00e9serte. Ils pourraient s\u2019entraider. Un obstacle les en emp\u00eache : personne ne les a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s. Les bonnes mani\u00e8res condamnent ainsi chacun \u00e0 sa solitude.<\/p>\n

Cette sc\u00e8ne de W. S. Gilbert enchante Stephen Leacock. Elle r\u00e9v\u00e8le une puissance m\u00e9connue de l\u2019humour : rendre soudain \u00e9trange une r\u00e8gle famili\u00e8re. Sous son regard, les conventions perdent leur \u00e9vidence, les discours pompeux leur autorit\u00e9, les certitudes leur assurance. Une plaisanterie bien ajust\u00e9e peut accomplir le travail d\u2019une longue r\u00e9futation.<\/p>\n

Humour et Humanit\u00e9<\/em> donne pourtant \u00e0 cette libert\u00e9 une exigence particuli\u00e8re. Pour Leacock, la finesse d\u2019un trait ne suffit pas \u00e0 sa grandeur. L\u2019humour atteint sa pleine valeur dans une intelligence des faiblesses humaines, attentive \u00e0 la vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9 derri\u00e8re la pr\u00e9tention. La bienveillance devient alors une mani\u00e8re plus p\u00e9n\u00e9trante de comprendre nos contradictions.<\/p>\n

Calembours, po\u00e8mes, personnages et anecdotes composent cette enqu\u00eate men\u00e9e avec une \u00e9rudition joyeusement indisciplin\u00e9e. Leacock y d\u00e9fend une id\u00e9e exigeante : nos ridicules peuvent devenir un terrain d\u2019entente. Encore faut-il une certaine libert\u00e9 envers soi-m\u00eame.<\/p>\n
