Appendix 2 Tables The following charts are organised by media and they show the recurrences of topics and the mechanisms of humour used to discuss issues. Since it was impossible to analyse each example in the <strong>thesis</strong>, the following charts will help the reader gain an idea of the most common topics discussed through humour. As we saw, acts of humour typically use more than one mechanism. Thus, the reader should be aware that although the charts are divided according to the mechanism, a given topic in a given act of humour could be portrayed through more than one mechanism. The frequency that a mechanism of humour appeared is included at the end of each chart. The most recurrent topics were those analysed in this research. These charts should be considered as a sample which may help, in addition to the analysis, enrich the knowledge about concerns and interests of Mexican society. They are organised by media and alphabetically, first comics, then films. The charts do not include those issues which do not appear in that media. A list of abbreviations is included. The column that refers to ‘LEA / Political Leaders’ also includes information related to good/bad government. ‘Torture / Violence’ refers to that inflicted by the authorities. In the column entitled ‘Police / Paramilitary groups’, the Policía Judicial and similar groups were also considered. Abreviations: INC – Incongruity ; BTR – Breaking of the rule ; SUP – Superiority; EXG – Exaggeration ; RLF – Relief ; LEA – Luis Echeverría Álvarez
