Abstract

The contention of this paper is jokes operate on stereotypes and that they are organized into a simulacrum of positive representation(s) that a specific group constructs about itself. In support of this argument, a set of jokes about blondes and gauchos (inhabitants from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) are analyzed in this article.
