“…Hjort fokuserar i sin studie på dansk film, men samma slags vändning har identifierats i många andra länders filmer. Som Hjort visar när det gäller Danmark och Bakøy (2010) när det gäller Norge är den etniska vändningen ingen enkel och rak process. Utvecklingen går i många steg och inte alltid i en rät linje, men leder till att regissörer med en invandrarbakgrund stiger in på scenen och tillåts presentera andra invandrarkaraktärer, något som i tidigare skeden gjorts av regissörer utan någon egen direkt koppling till invandring.…”

This chapter provides an overview of the research field and the empirical context of humour and religion with a specific focus on Norway. It presents relevant theoretical perspectives which informed the project on which this book is based, including theories regarding the resurgence of religion in the public sphere, the mediatization of religion, and theories of humour. In addition, we introduce the thirteen chapters. The book is divided in two parts, namely religion in humour and humour in religion, and the chapters offer insight into the various ways religion and humour intersect, including the production of humour about religion and religious humour, media representations of humour and religion, as well as responses and attitudes to humour and religion. While the relationship between religion and humour has long been considered contradictory, this book offers examples of how religion and humour are in continuous dialogue, negotiating ways to relate to each other.

“…Även om element i Naficys studie kan användas på nordisk migrantfilm har bland annat Larsen (2015) och Bakøy (2010) visat på hur nordisk migrantfilm också skiljer sig från de typiska drag Naficy identifierar. Inte minst, som redan antytts, är nordisk migrantfilm ofta genrefilm där delvis nya karaktärer visserligen förts in, men där genregreppet annars är starkt och inte på samma sätt utmanande som de filmer Nacify diskuterar.…”

«Vet du hvorfor Gud skapte Adam før Eva?»1: Vi Menns vitser om religion, kjønn og sex

This chapter explores change and continuity in the jokes on religion, gender and sex published in the comics’ section of the men’s magazine Vi Menn (in English, Us Men) from the 1980s through 2016. The study asks: What characterizes Vi Menn’s humor on religion, gender and sex during this period? Which religions are covered, and how are they portrayed? How are categories such as gender, sexuality and ethnicity expressed in the jokes? The analysis shows that ideas about gender differences are an important component of the jokes, and furthermore, that the jokes are based on stereotypical conceptions of gender and religion. Such stereotypes include the idea that men are inherently preoccupied with sex and the sexual objectification of women, and the idea that religion and sex are contradictory. Rather than challenging stereotypical ideas of religious groups and gender, Vi Menn’s jokes reinforce conventional gender roles and construct boundaries between «us» and «them», marked by religion, gender, sexuality and ethnicity.
