Beskrivelse

Focusing on three case studies on political humour participation, as well as our collaborative process, this presentation captures both research and the work it involved. From vivid lunch room discussions on a satire scandal in Swedish public service media, to the challenges of working across disciplines, our story includes issues such as finding a common language, catching unexpected opportunities, and combining conceptual and methodological frameworks. Research-wise, the first case study (Rhetorica Scandinavica, 2021) analyses a controversial episode of "Svenska nyheter" (SVT, 2018-) and satire-as-genre as forensic (judicial) rhetoric; showing how audience positioning oscillates between the roles of accused culprit, judge, and duped victim. The second (Javnost-The Public, 2022), delves into the dynamics of joking and seriousness in the audience and institutional engagement with the abovementioned controversy; establishing how citizens and institutional actors responded very differently, and how digital and established media mattered here. Finally, in our third study (National Identities, 2025) we turned to civic satire and developed the notion of joking nationalism, based off an analysis of digital memes and civic interaction in Swedish-speaking Reddit, concerning Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Sweden’s ensuing NATO-application.
