Sažetak
Cultural capital is a construct with widespread use in different fields of sociological inquiry. In recent times, cultural capital has been invoked in explanations of humour tastes and preferences, with highbrow and lowbrow humour as the most common explanatory framework. In most cases, the research employed qualitative methods aimed at explaining the content and functions of the humour tastes. In this study, the authors aimed to test two interconnected research questions: (1) whether there are cross- national differences in lowbrow and highbrow humour preferences, and (2) whether lowbrow and highbrow humour preferences can explain humour stereotyping between the selected ex-Yugoslav nations. The data were collected by means of a field survey, while the research sample consisted of 611 respondents/ undergraduate and graduate students from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia. With regard to the first research question, the results confirmed the existence of the cross- national differences in highbrow humour preference. When it comes to the second research question, highbrow humour preference was not related with the humour stereotyping. Additionally, it is determined that people with highbrow taste see humour as a way of adaptation and interpretation of the world, and do not value humour as such. In addition, the results confirm the need for the research of cross-national humour differences by employing cultural capital theoretical framework.
