Abstract

This document forms part of the Democratic Literacy and Humour (DELIAH) project, which explores the complex and multifaceted role of humour in various artistic expressions, cultural spaces, and both online and offline public fora. The project investigates how humour can act as a tool either to support or undermine democratic participation and processes across Europe. This particular document examines academic literature on contemporary humour practices and their intersection with democratic practices in six European countries—Belgium, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Spain—while also drawing on relevant adjacent studies
