Resumo: | This article aims to focus on the ambiguity of Law in protecting humor as freedom of speech and, paradoxically, controlling it due to its subversiveness. The purpose of this paper is to argue that humor, as a critical and artistic manifestation, has a broad scope of protection and that, in situations of conflict with other values, such as privacy, honor and image, there is a favorable predisposition to the legality of humor. We hold that humor is defined by its author, but the perspective of the affected people matters and only they may, in principle, make fun of themselves for the purpose of derision or social criticism. The approach of this study is deductive and normative, based on bibliographic and jurisprudential research. In conclusion, humor is illicit when it downplays and offends and should not be accepted in order to normalize or cover up discrimination. Humor should be inclusive, not discriminatory. |

Procura-se sustentar que o humor, enquanto manifestação crítica e artística, tem um âmbito de proteção alargado e que, em situações de conflito com outros valores, como a privacidade, a honra e a imagem, há uma predisposição favorável ao humor. Defende-se que quem define o humor é seu autor, porém a perspectiva das pessoas atingidas é relevante e somente eles podem, em princípio, troçar de si em caráter derrisório ou de crítica social. A abordagem é dedutiva e normativa, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e de jurisprudência. Conclui-se que, quando inferioriza e ofende, o humor é ilícito e não deve ser aceito para normalizar ou encobrir a discriminação. O humor deve ser inclusivo e não discriminatório.UNESP2020-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/article/view/1768Faces da História; Vol. 7 Núm. 2 (2020): História Cultural do Humor; 176-194Faces da História; v. 7 n. 2 (2020): História Cultural do Humor; 176-1942358-3878reponame:Faces da Históriainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/article/view/1768/1505https://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/article/view/1768/1506Copyright (c) 2020 Walter Claudius Rothenburginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRothenburg, Walter Claudius2020-12-18T19:32:08Zoai:seer.assis.unesp.br:article/1768Revistahttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoriaPUBhttps://seer.assis.unesp.br/index.php/facesdahistoria/oai||facesdahistoria@assis.unesp.br|| facesdahistoria@gmail.com2358-38782358-3878opendoar:2020-12-18T19:32:08Faces da História - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false |
