Abstract

The paper looks into a phenomenon of postmodern simulation (simulacrization) of laughter. A historical reconstruction of the simulation process of laughter is made on the basis of a universal simulation algorithm proposed by J. Baudrillard, some intermediate counterpoints and kinds of postmodern simulated laughter identified.
