Centre for Media Research
Children, Humour and TV
Dr Maya Götz of the International Central
Institute for Youth and Educational Television,
Munich, will discuss the findings of an
international study on children, television and
humour in which the University of Ulster was
a partner. The study used a 'funometer' to
build up a picture of children's reactions to
comic moments as they watched six different
humorous shows from the six different
countries. The study also produced qualitative
material from discussions with children in
which their views about gender, national
identity, cultural differences, the limits of
comedy, ethical issues around exploitation and
cruelty, and many others, were revealed.
Admission: Free
