Historicamente, nossa sociedade se construiu a partir de um modelo masculino de organização, e ao longo de sua constituição promoveu e ratificou formas de violência contra as mulheres, sempre ...fundamentadas na concepção de fragilidade e sensibilidade femininas, que traziam implicadas as noções de inferioridade e submissão. Como militantes e em busca por igualdade, as mulheres saíram às ruas e seus corpos tornaram-se discursos que trazem o “avesso” da história de dominância, construindo outras possibilidades de sentido e de memória na luta contra o machismo. Neste artigo, nosso objetivo é observar, em algumas publicações em redes sociais, o lugar atribuído à mulher e ao feminismo no bojo de estereotipias e imaginários cristalizados em nossa sociedade e que ocupam nosso espaço discursivo. Para tal, nosso material é composto por quatro memes publicados no Instagram ressaltando, sobretudo, esse ideal dominante pré-determinado e utópico acerca do papel da mulher, satirizando a luta e a resistência configurada pelos movimentos sociais e, em especial, o feminismo. Nesse sentido, nossa empreitada analítica estará embasada nos pressupostos teóricos da análise do discurso de matriz francesa, especialmente, em considerações acerca das noções de memória e pré-construído.
Since the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic, there have been widespread conversations about the origins of the virus and who to blame for it. This article focuses on the online hate directed at ...Chinese and Asian people during the pandemic. Taking a critical discursive psychological approach, we analysed seven online threads related to COVID‐19 and China from two Finnish websites (Suomi24 and Ylilauta) and one US (8kun) site. We identified three discursive trends associated with dehumanising Chinese populations: ‘monstrous Chinese’, ‘immoral Chinese’ and ‘China as a threat’, which created different forms of dehumanisation on a continuum from harsher dehumanisation to milder depersonalisation. The animalistic metaphors, coarse language, humorous frames and conspiracy beliefs worked to rhetorically justify the dehumanisation of Chinese individuals, making it more acceptable to portray them as a homogeneous and inhumane mass of people that deserves to be attacked. This study contributes to the field of discursive research on dehumanisation by deepening our knowledge of the specific features of Sinophobic hate speech.

Humor can be a powerful tool for increasing one’s status in a group and influencing others. Given that past research has indicated that the use of humor by a woman might harm her potential of ...advancing in the workplace, we examine the joint effect of humor style and gender on the likelihood of being perceived as a leader. Using a within-subjects vignette experiment, we collected data from 148 participants, with 73% being female, and an average age of 33.2 years old (
SD
= 9.8). We found that people using affiliative humor had a higher perceived chance of emerging as leaders compared to those using aggressive humor and gender itself did not have a significant effect on leadership emergence. Contrary to our expectations, the affiliative-aggressive humor discrepancy in leadership emergence was higher for men rather than women. These results are aligned with expectancy violation hypothesis pointing to a distinctiveness effect of incongruent role behaviors such that men tend to receive more credit for affiliative humor, while women tend to be penalized less for using aggressive humor in groups. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Psychoterapia to zjawisko międzyludzkiej wymiany, wyjątkowe ze względu na wielowarstwowe społeczne i kulturowe konteksty, z których wyrasta i w których jest zanurzona. W tej książce żarty o ...psychoterapii, służą głębszemu zrozumieniu jej różnych aspektów oraz dotarciu do tych obszarów, które są szczególnie trudne i niewygodne, a w związku z tym pomijane lub tabuizowane.
Książka pokazuje, jak stosowanie żartu jako interwencji terapeutycznej może znakomicie uzupełniać inne, bardziej poważne metody postępowania. Żart wprowadza do terapii archetypową postać trickstera - przewrotnego prześmiewcę, który swym działaniem może odwrócić pojmowanie świata i zmienić jego reguły.

The influence of leader humor on employee innovative behavior has been attracting increasingly more attention from various scholars and enterprises. Based on previous relevant literatures in the ...fields of humor, leadership, and innovation, this study proposes and verifies a model to examine the internal mechanism and boundary condition of the relationship between leader humor, work engagement, supervisor's organizational embodiment, and employee innovative behavior. Specifically, this study introduces work engagement as a mediator in the relationship between leader humor and employee innovative behavior, and supervisor's organizational embodiment as a moderator in the relationship between leader humor and work engagement. Then, this study conducts two separate questionnaire surveys on Chinese employees and their direct supervisors at two different times to collect the sample data. In total, 383 supervisor-subordinate dyads were collected. The results suggest that leader humor can promote employee innovative behavior. Work engagement can partly mediate the influence of leader humor on employee innovative behavior. Supervisor's organizational embodiment of employee can positively moderate the influence of leader humor on work engagement, which in turn ultimately should account for positive increases of employee innovative behavior. The conclusions from the analyses above not only further verify and develop some previous points on leader humor and employee innovation but also derive certain management implications for promoting employee innovative behavior from the perspective of leader humor.
