Abstract:

If politics is a serious matter and humour a funny one, this volume investigates 
how and why the boundaries between the two are blurred: politics can be 
represented in a humorous manner and humour can have a serious intent. 
Political humour conveys criticism against the political status quo and/or 
recycles and reinforces dominant views on politics. The data analysed comes 
from European states with different sociopolitical histories and traditions and the 
methodologies adopted originate in different fields (discourse analysis, folklore 
and cultural studies, media studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, theatre 
semiotics). The first part of the volume is dedicated to politicians' humour as a 
means of public positioning, deliberation, and eventually attack against political 
adversaries, while the second one involves political satire as realised in different 
genres: animation, impersonation, and cartoons. Last but not least, the third part 
shows how political humour can be manipulated in public debates or become an 
integral part of postmodern art.
