Taking as its point of departure Hegel's conception of comedy, and the question of whether comedy is indeed - as it is often defined - a genre that persistently discloses the fact of human finitude and its imitations, it develops the following thesis: The practice of comedy brings forward a specific paradigm that could be called “a finitude with a flaw”.
