HUMOR Y PODER. UNA AFINIDAD COMUNICATIVA EN EL CONTEXTO SOCIAL.

This paper proposes a conceptual model of humour as a resource of power, by the use of its communicative elements. These elements may be modified or manipulated by those who exert social power. The model is used to compare some field examples in working environments and exposes how to understand humor in certain political contexts or as a source of cultural capital. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
