DCN SE Hub, Digital Communication Network and World Learning are organizing, via Zoom, the webinar «Humor in the time of Coronavirus», which will take place in 12th of May at 17:30 (Athens Time).
The focusing point of the conversation will be how the new era of COVID-19 has affected the lives of millions of people especially in terms of anxiety and fear. Does humor exist in this new era? During times of crisis we use it as an antidote, no matter how afraid people are. Laughter unites people. Even if we are apart from each other as physical presences, we still continue to be use humor as the best medicine for this new era of social distancing so we can come together as one.
Since the spread of this pandemic, internet watches something new being spread also: funny memes about the novel Coronavirus, production of funny comments and comedic content via Twitter, Youtube and TikTok either by professional comedians or amateur ones. But who or what is the best target for satyr during the pandemic? During this difficult time are there some funny getaways? Even though they are up against a deadly threat, what’s the “ingredient” that comedians observe in the human behavior, that produces laughter
