Abstract
This paper deals with the short story The Trip of Alija Đerzelez , in light of theories of humour by Mikhail Bakhtin, Luigi Pirandello and Aleksandar Boskovic. The character of Alija Đerzelez stands out as a dominant literary structure plan through which a humorous effect is achieved in the story. There is a grotesque in his physical characterisation, and creating an atmosphere as the basis for building a character is marked by carnivalisation of liberated consciousness and dialogue communication that lead to the de-mythologising of the main character by subjecting him to the ambivalent carnival laughter first and then to a reflection on its causes.
