Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien är att studera hur humor och trovärdighet samspelar i svenska ickestatliga organisationers kommunikation. Detta studeras genom en retorisk metod med hjälp av appellformerna ethos, pathos och logos, humorteorierna om överlägsen, inkongruent och förlösande humor samt deras retoriska funktioner. Även trovärdighetsteorin och dess begrepp expertis och pålitlighet används. I metoden används en retorisk disposition som utvecklats med begreppen som är specifika för studien. Materialet består av en reklamfilm från Unicef, en reklamaffisch från Röda Korset och en radioreklam från SOS Barnbyar. I studien visar det sig att humor kan förstärka andra retoriska funktioner i texten, bidra till den övertygande kraften samt skapa situationer för identitetsskapande processer.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate how humor and credibility interact with each other in Swedish NGO’s communication. This will be studied through a rhetoric method with the modes of persuasion ethos, pathos and logos, humor theories about superior, incongruent and release humor and their rhetoric functions. The source credibility theory and the concepts of expertise and trustworthiness will also be used. The method is based on a rhetoric disposition which is extended with the concepts which are specific for this study. The material consists of a commercial from Unicef, a poster from the Red Cross and a radio advertisement from SOS Children´s villages. The study shows that humor can strengthen different rhetoric functions in a text, can contribute to the persuasive power and can create context of identification.
