Abstract:

Satire, Humor and the Construction of Identities conveys how satire can
contribute to the construction of social subjects’ identities. It attempts to
provide a theoretical ground for a novel understanding of the relationship
between satire and identity by finding their common denominator, namely
opposition, in order to explain the mechanism through which satire can form
identities. After establishing the role of opposition in satire and identity
construction through a detailed analysis of various theories, it will be
argued that satire can contribute to the construction of racial, ethnic,
national, religious, and gender identities. Several examples from British,
Persian, ancient Roman literary traditions, and different epochs illustrate
the theoretical discussions. The prevalence of satire and the challenges that
identity has encountered in our contemporary world guarantee the significance
of this study and its socio-political implications.
