Etnografando o riso: reflexões antropológicas sobre um programa televisivo de humor

Abstract

The work presented here was originally proposed as an ethnography of the production of television entertainment. As a first issue, it aspired to understand the way the TV is thought by those who produce it daily. Electing to field the backstage of A Praça é Nossa, the oldest of the Brazilian comedy TV still on display, the search ends up embarking on other reflections, in which the realized ethnography is used to support the structural analysis of comedic sketches presented by the program.
