Abstract

BIRMAN, Joel. The king is naked: Counter power and wishful thinking in joke and humor. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2010, vol.22, n.1, pp. 175-191. ISSN 0103-5665.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that joke and humor have power as their privileged target, by which they become social discourse practices. Besides that, as forms of wishful thinking, according to Freud, joke and humor could be a way of deconstructing power.

Keywords : counter power; wishful; humor.
