Identity and Humour

Research into post-socialist jokelore from different perspectives includes the study of post-socialist jokes as a unique phenomenon in the East-European cultural area, the temporal continuing and disruption of the genre, the changes in the form and content. Particular attention is paid to ethnic and political humour in the modern globalising world and more narrowly, within the context of the expanding European Union.

We study the postsocialist anecdote as a unique feature of East-European cultural space, the continuous and interruputed nature of the genre, the change of content and structural parameters. Special attention is paid to ethnic and political humour in the contemporary cross-cultural world and more specifically, within the context of the widening European Union.
