The transcendence of the everyday: bonds, jokes and subjectivity
Abstract
This paper proposes a psycho-sociological approach to the configuration of human bonds. Bonds are discussed in its most latent, less obvious and explicit, in order to reveal those emotional and representational elements that tend to be expressed in a rather obvious. The empirical material of the research has been the set of jokes told in different “focus groups”, formed from social homogeneity criteria. We analyzed the associative chains developed in group dynamics. We find that the jokes being universal social phenomenon, the "dormant accounts" arising from the analysis of each discus-sion group, have shown significant differences between them, being expressive loop model of each social context. It also confirms the phenomenon of the joke as a valuable tool for social research.Downloads
