Biography

Antti Lindfors is a PhD candidate at the University of Turku, Finland. His dissertation deals with stand-up comedy as a performance of self-presentation and an economy of relatability. His texts have been or will be released in the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Ethnologia Europaea: The Journal of European Ethnology, and Cultural Analysis: An Interdisciplinary Forum on Folklore and Popular Culture. Methodologically, he is concerned with the overlaps and contact points between folkloristics, linguistic anthropology, and cultural studies.
