Preview of the next uniFOKUS, December 2025: Funny, isn't it?
Some people laugh, others look confused: humor doesn't work the same way for everyone. The upcoming issue of uniFOKUS will explore what humor is, the forms it can take, and how it changes in social, cultural, and historical contexts. When does humor bring people together, and when does it repel them? What role does it play in relationships, in rehabilitation, in political debate? Researchers from various disciplines provide insight into a topic that seems familiar—yet proves to be complex.
