Our philosophy:
Humour is a constitutive element of human life as witnessed in cultural
narratives, literature, linguistic and multi-modal texts, discourse and
conversation, essays, anecdotes and in diverse communication types: in short,
humour is an indispensable human intellectual trait and product.
What are the culturally grounded imprints and patterns in producing, perceiving,
interpreting and appreciating humour? What is the role of socialization in
seeing the multicultural and multilingual world with humour? How is humour
situated, narrated and mediated? How does humour help constitute social
identity? How does humour open up taboos and how does it facilitate the
permeability between cultures? 'San Zen che ride': What is the place and message
of a smiling saint in European culture?
Further thought-provoking topics:
- the relationship between humor and the success of communicative action, with
special focus on persuasion
- the impact and consequence of humor at various levels of the information flow
and information exchange (from personal to the media level)
- humour, wit and media rhetoric: entertainment, persuasion, information
