By analysing a multi-dimensional urban Australian Aboriginal identity performance, this paper identifies and problematises commonplace cultural assumptions about the constitution of humour as a form of anxiety release, and the understanding of humour as cloaking aggression. It raises analytical questions about how identity construction illuminates complex links among anxiety, weakness and laughter as well as links among humour, repair and resistance. |
