Experimentation #1: Stand-up comedy
Can humor somehow be anthropological?
Can anthropology be fun? Or is the idea of a "funny anthropologist" a joke in itself?
In this video Alexandros Papageorgiou attempts to answer these and other questions at an open mic night of stand-up comedy. Not altogether in jest, he comments on the subjectivity of the truth, the hypocrisy of the Greek family, incest,
the similarities and differences between stand-up and anthropology.
