Юмористическое отношение общества к деятельности преподавателей и студентов [Articol]

Abstract

In the represented article we demonstrate how society in its humoristic manner interprets the activity of professors and students. This characteristic is realized in anecdotes, jokes, verses, songs, literary texts etc. It is commonly known that there exist some clichés in assessments of the intellectual qualities and activity of particular representatives of professional, ethnical, social and other groups and communities (military, police, scientists, Armenians, Estonians, оdessans, blonde women and others). Using examples from anecdotes, jokes we attempt to show, which particular parts of our professional activity cause laughing reaction, perhaps not always a fair one, nonetheless - an indisputably existing one. The possibility to consider the material in various aspects, such as techniques for comic effect, professors’ and students’ attitude towards our reality, foreigners’ attitude towards some specific rules of the Russian language taught in educational institutions, - all this allows us to present the analyzed phenomena great depth.
