In the Circus of Meanings

a class-y look, can also be male.
it is exercised rather than held, inextricably linked with knowledge.

“The people do not exclude themselves from the wholeness of the world. They, too, are incomplete; they also die and are revived and renewed. This is one of the essential differences of the people’s festive laughter from the pure satire of modern times. The satirist whose laughter is negative places themselves above the object of their mockery; they are opposed to it. The wholeness of the world’s comic aspect is destroyed, and that which appears comic becomes a private reaction. The people’s ambivalent laughter, on the other hand, expresses the point of view of the whole world; those who are laughing also belong to it.”
