Stereotyp etniczny i społeczny oraz łamanie tabu jako nośniki komizmu w skeczu Góral na zakupach Roberta Korólczyka
Ethnic and social stereotype and breaking taboo as carriers of comism in the sketch Góral na zakupach ("A mountaineer doing shopping") by Robert Korólczyk

Summary/Abstract: Ethnic stereotypes and social stereotypes referring to sex, age or occupation are based, to a great extent, on the distinction we-they, which is linked with assigning certain features to these groups. These features, especially if negative, can be a basis for jokes according to Plato’s observation that human defects and weaknesses are an object of laughter. The aim of the paper is to depict the stereotypical image of a Polish mountaineer as well as the stereotypes of a man and woman, husband and wife as carriers of comism in the sketch Góral na zakupac (“A mountaineer doing shopping”) by Robert Korólczyk. The sketch perpetuates the stereotype of a mountaineer-man as a religious person as well as a sensual breadwinner while his wife confirms the stereotype of a woman focused on shopping in a mall. In the sketch, comism is also related to breaking a taboo. In this way, comism is located on a broader social, psychological and cultural background.
