Les opérations de déception et l'humour, et encore plus les canulars, ont de multiples interactions. Les deux partagent la même tournure d'esprit, notamment fondée sur l'incongruité, lorsqu'il s'agit de les concevoir. Mais il y a plus encore : l'humour nourrit également la ruse, en particulier à travers son apport à la créativité, l'un des facteurs de réussite des opérations de déception.

The propagation of hoaxes on social media has contributed to political tension in many countries. The 2016 US presidential election provides evidence of how fake news can generate more social media engagement than real news. In multicultural Indonesia, the history of anti-communist, anti-Christian, and anti-Chinese pogroms increases the level of sensitivity and sentiment, especially when dealing with racial issues. This paper explores the role of hoaxes in Indonesia's contemporary politics. It investigates the characteristics of hoax information circulated on social media during the 2017 Jakarta election using a memetic practice approach. This study perceives hoaxes as having acted like memes in terms of the ways in which they dismantle existing source material to tap into ideas or sentiments people connect with. Hoaxes as memes alter original items into new forms of artifacts, with new messages that resonate with existing beliefs in society. Consequently, hoaxes can create a culture based on a shared belief among the community and, in the era of increasing polarization, a hoax has the potential to be a means of political partisanship. However, with the tendency to overpower the truth and lead people away from believing facts, hoaxes can be a threat to participatory democracy. ; The propagation of hoaxes on social media contributed to political tension in many countries.

The ultimate caper story, novelist Clifford Irving''s no-holds-barred account of the literary hoax that stunned the publishing world, is the story of his faked "autobiography" of Howard Hughes. HOAX was first published in Great Britain in 1997, where it became a bestseller. But no American hardcover house would touch THE HOAX until now. One major publisher offered a 500,000 advance when the book was nearing completion, drew up the contract...then abruptly bowed out. Why? The answer is implicit in this classic tale of daring, treachery, and corruption. As fast-paced and exciting as any spy nove

Argues that the whole workfare emphasis that began in the late 1960s and expanded into the 1970s and 1980s is really a hoax. Welfare recipients are really the scapegoats and this emphasis on welfare serves to draw attention away from the economic malaise.
