| Sumario: | This study is a content analysis of jokes produced and presented by stand-up comedians that in various parts of the world deal with a common theme, the inclusion of the Arab and the Muslim communities in modernity. This kind of humor became popular in many countries of the Middle East and Africa, similar to what is occurring in other continents. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt nowadays tolerate to some degree dissent proposed by such humorists. Seeing the Arab and Muslim societies to laugh at themselves is a new and startling occurrence, since it breaks with the stereotypical image that they are unable to bear the satire and irony for being dominated by fear and conservatism. |
