Vol. 17 No. 49 (2024): Humor e Política

Aurora, an academic journal focused on Art, Media, and Politics, was established in 2006 by a group of researchers and is currently in its 49th edition. This issue aims to expand the discussion on humor within the Humanities and the dynamics of power. The dossier includes articles that explore satire and humor in various contexts: an analysis of the role of the press in abolition and racism in Brazil, an examination of extreme-right political cartoons, and satire of nationalism in the series "Filhos da Pátria." Other contributions address humor in cinema, from Brazilian chanchadas and the critique of fascism in Italian cinema to contemporary parodies. The journal also investigates the impact of memes on politics and electoral campaigns, and features an interview with Cristiano Botafogo about humor and politics in the podcast "Medo e Delírio em Brasília." Additionally, the continuous flow section includes a study on culture and technology in Flavio Colin's comics.
