CELSA projekti konverents “Humour and Conflict in the Public Sphere” (korraldajad: L. Laineste, A. Fiadotava, G. Castañar).
Tänapäeva meediast küllastunud Euroopa ühiskondades on huumor sageli sotsiaalsete konfliktide keskmes.
Miks on oluline uurida huumori ja sotsiaalsete konfliktide suhet? Millist huumorit inimesed konflikti ajal loovad ja kuidas nad sellisele huumorile reageerivad? See konverents on CELSA võrgustikuprojekti “Humour and Conflict in the Public Sphere” suur finaal.
Ootame põnevusega, et saaksime jagada oma uurimusi ja saada tagasisidet ning mõtteid huumoriteadlaste ja -praktikute käest, kes on huvitatud sarnastest teemadest. Konverents on platvorm koostöö arendamiseks ja uute viiside leidmiseks, kuidas arutada huumoritemaatika olulisust kriisiajal.
Ootame teemakohaseid ettekandeid, et lisada need ürituse akadeemilisse programmi.
Palun saatke kuni 200-sõnaline kokkuvõte ja/või registreeruge konverentsile, kasutades seda vormi hiljemalt 15. juuniks.
Konverentsil osalemine on tasuta, kuid osalejatel palutakse katta oma majutus- ja reisikulud.
Call for papers
In today’s media-saturated European societies, humour often takes centre stage in social conflicts. Why is studying the relation between humour and social conflict important? What kind of humour do people create in the face of the conflict, and how do they react to such humour?
This conference is the grand finale of the CELSA network project “Humour and Conflict in the Public Sphere: Communication styles, humour controversies and contested freedoms in contemporary Europe”.
We are looking forward to sharing our findings and getting feedback and insights from humour scholars and practitioners interested in similar topics. The conference will be a platform to develop collaborations and think of new ways to discuss the importance of humour at the time of crisis.
We welcome contributions on the topic to be included in the academic programme of the event.
Please send an abstract of no more than 200 words and/or register for the conference by using this FORM by June 15.
There is no conference fee, but the participants are expected to cover their accommodation and travel.
