Annotation

A discourse and symbolic cultural analysis of epistolary complaints in reaction to comic discourses deemed offensive. The authors investigate the relationship between ethical and comic discourses, more particularly, how the complaint is voiced in relation to the offence and the censure of the humor included in the objection.
