O HUMOR TOMA CORPO: UNHA ANÁLISE FEMINISTA DA SÚA DIMENSIÓN COMUNICATIVA.

This article aims to analyse the presence and role of humour in some feminist artistic proposals and to determine its points of tension and confrontation with dominant discourses. The argument will be based on some of the previous works related to humour (Bajtín, 1987; Eagleton, 2021) and studies that have analysed its potential within feminism (Merrill, 1988; C. Atance, 2018; Álvarez, 2018). On this basis, an attempt will be made to establish a connection with the defence of the communicative character of confession developed by the philosopher María Zambrano. The ultimate goal will be to show how humour comes to stage from a concrete, situated (Haraway, 1995), affected body (Garcés, 2013), so as to deconstruct hegemonic structures of thought and to find other visions and broader meanings. A creative and communicative process that emerges from the complexity of life to pose, in the artistic field, the question of what is possible through the radical imaginaries offered by humour.
