Su objetivo es presentar y revisar el papel del humor en épocas problemáticas de catástrofes naturales y desastres sociales, como parte de la resiliencia que desarrolla el humano, y el rol de esta última cuando se hace necesario transitar la difícil vivencia y crecer con ella, expresarla, aliviarla en cierto modo, liberarla a veces, reproducirla otras, acompañar siempre. Se parte de esta pregunta: ¿cómo se expresa el humor frente al miedo o el dolor?; y se la responde a partir de tres situaciones ocurridas en México: la pandemia de influenza de 2009, el terremoto de 2017, y la pandemia por coronavirus entre 2020 y 2021. Como conclusión, es posible afirmar que el humor funcionó como una estrategia de supervivencia para calmar pensamientos negativos, equilibrar emociones, resignificar y alentar en general, a veces desde la broma o la ironía, otras desde el acompañamiento solidario, presentando miradas diversas, incongruencias varias, ocurrencias, exageraciones, y provocando, si no risas, al menos sonrisas de alivio.Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador2023-07-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/uru/article/view/410310.32719/26312514.2023.8.10Uru: Revista de Comunicación y Cultura; No. 8 (2023): Electoral campaigns and digital communication; 144-171Uru: Revista de Comunicación y Cultura; Núm. 8 (2023): Campañas electorales y comunicación digital; 144-1712631-2514reponame:Revista de Comunicación y Culturainstname:Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarinstacron:UASBspahttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/uru/article/view/4103/3990https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-07-03T14:56:50Zoai:revistas.uasb.edu.ec:article/4103Portal de revistashttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/uruInstitución privadahttp://www.uasb.edu.ec/https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/uru/oaiEcuador2631-25142631-2514opendoar:02023-07-03T14:56:50falsePortal de revistashttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/uruInstitución privadahttp://www.uasb.edu.ec/https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/uru/oaiEcuador2631-25142631-2514opendoar:02023-07-03T14:56:50Revista de Comunicación y Cultura - Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarfalse
