You can find the conference program here.
The purpose of the Humor Research Project is to explore the inherent interdisciplinarity of humor. We hope that the conference will become a forum for discussions on how humor functions within different paradigms, thus yielding a variety of perspectives, including linguistic and (cross-)cultural ones, as well as those proper to literary and translation studies.
We cordially invite researchers working at the intersections of language and humor to attend this event and present their insights into how language becomes humorous and how humor can become dark, morbid, or black.
Therefore, suggested topics include (but are, of course, not limited to):
Again, the list is not exhaustive, and contributions focused on other facets of humor are also welcome.
The conference will be held in a hybrid form.
We accept abstracts written in English or Polish.
