“…In other words, behaviors that would usually be deemed inappropriate in particular hierarchical relationships become accepted and appropriate in a joking relationship (Garde 2008, 237). The purpose of such practices is to manage, clarify, and stabilize hierarchical relationships (de Vienne 2012, 164; Lund 2015, 285, 297; Radcliffe-Brown 1940). They also ease everyday interactions between people who are in structurally unequal situations.…”

This article elaborates on the significance of humor and playful interactions in an ethnographic research project among 14- and 15-year-old teenagers in an international middle school in Finland. First, it discusses the role of humor among students and their teachers in the school. Second, the article elaborates on the role humor played when an adult ethnographer was negotiating her role and actions with these teenagers; humor and playful interactions provided useful tools with which to negotiate the researcher’s role and made the project a fun and enjoyable experience for the researcher and participants alike. The article employs the concept of reality play when analyzing everyday interactions in a school context, and it argues both that the use of humor can contribute to forming meaningful and ethically sound relationships between researcher and participants and that elaborations on research and ethics should pay more attention to the significance of humor and playfulness as essential parts of human life.

This article identifies playful antagonism as a defining mode of rare Israeli-Palestinian encounters in Israeli settlement businesses. It is based on ethnographic work primarily in an Israeli settlement supermarket where the lowest-paid workers are mostly occupied Palestinians. This playful antagonism characterizes heated Israeli-Palestinian political exchanges as well as Palestinian workers' mockery of their settler bosses and customers, through gestures and jokes alike. These practices navigate an incongruity between the high-stakes antagonisms of Israeli settler-colonization

“…A su vez, el bromista muestra que comparte con la audiencia una idea en común sobre lo que es gracioso, y esto sirve para mantener o crear solidaridad entre compañeros (izik), lo que permite observar una dimensión de las bromas especialmente ligada a la regulación de las relaciones intersubjetivas (cf. Carty y Musharbash 2008;Rosengren 2010;Black 2012;De Vienne 2012). En este sentido, el humor puede servir para fortalecer o reafirmar normas y valores, y hacer explícita la pertenencia a un grupo: quienes bromean e interpretan la broma son aquellos que son miembros de un mismo colectivo (cf.…”

El propósito de este artículo es analizar un tipo de discurso de humor (nayakyaGak) que forma parte del repertorio verbal de los tobas del Chaco argentino: las bromas sexuales. Integrando perspectivas lingüísticas y etnográficas, nos centramos tanto en los recursos léxicos y morfosintácticos utilizados en este tipo de nayakyaGak así como en sus contextos de interacción, con especial interés en las claves de contextualización que permiten construir el marco de juego de las bromas. Profundizaremos en las construcciones metafóricas que se encuentran en uso en las bromas sexuales y mostraremos posibles vínculos entre el campo semántico de la marisca (cacería) y el de la sexualidad. Así también, daremos cuenta de que el humor presente en las bromas que transcribiremos conforma una práctica discursiva que permite hablar de la sexualidad y la afectividad. El trabajo constituye un aporte al estudio del repertorio discursivo toba, así como también a las reflexiones antropológicas en torno a la sexualidad.
