Leadership and Humor
.
The article covers issues of irony and humor development that can provide an idea of the nonlinear, rhizome characteristics of a modern culture that lacks distinct borders. Their daily usage leads to what were traditionally considered exclusive categories (power, sexuality, and death) now playing the roles of cultural categories that heuristically describe modern social situations. Irony and humor unite diverse elements into a dynamic, conceptual unity, thus opening the way for interpretation ambiguity. They act as the basis for the dynamic association of various elements of modern culture, which suggests the dynamic demonstration of their roles in reflecting the discourse of modern culture and modern social action.
