Humor, comedians and discursive topia problems

Abstract

Based on the concept of discursive field and History of humor, we seek to outline the way the humor from literature leading to its institutionalization as discursive field of the humor. We seek to show, firstly, how the humor changes from stylistic feature of some writers and poets to some regulation of comedian profession next to the fields journalism and advertising fields. Secondly, we find that the concept of VRBANITAS, which regulates the use of laughter in the discourse, can be seen from the position of disputes between subjects within the discursive field of humor, which differ according to the concept adopted on what do humor and make laugh, and modes of adaptation to the constant social changes, new forms of media and the politically correct movement.
