The Coloniality of Language in Digital Humour

Über dieses Buch
Humour has not yet been systematically analysed from a decolonial perspective. This book addresses the coloniality of language in online humour from an interdisciplinary decolonial linguistics approach that places attentional processes at the centre of the analysis. Its chapters contribute to linguistic research with a novel theoretical framework for the analysis of digital humour by foregrounding attentional processes and power relations. The contributions made in its pages stem from the recognition that coloniality is so profoundly embedded in our communicative practices that it often remains unnoticed. For that reason, the book invites the reader to reflect on how we exercise attention.
