Abstract
The aim of this contribution is to show that comic elements are attributed to certain cultures by the audience. The author discusses two directions of investigation. A first one is how different cultures of laughter influence the translation of comic elements - the focus in this case is on the translation between cultures of laughter. The other one is how translations of such comic elements themselves influence the cultures of laughter - the focus in this case is on the translation of cultures of laughter as reflected in literary texts.
