Resumo: The present study analyzes the humorous production of the Brazilian Facebook page “Humor New Age”. All posts from June 1, 2020, to March 27, 2022, were analyzed, totaling 401 unique memes. The memes were classified into nine categories of joke themes: (1) orientalisms, (2) morals and politics, (3) nature and body, (4) pop culture, (5) sacralization of psychology and psychologization of religion, (6) European Christian esotericism, (7) mythologies of science, (8) magic, witchcraft, and paganism, and (9) conspiracy theories. Drawing on Bateson's ethos considerations, the study demonstrated that studying the mood of a religious group also allows one to capture the core elements of its ethos.

Foram analisadas todas as publicações de 1º de junho de 2020 a 27 de março de 2022, totalizando 401 memes únicos. Os memes foram classificados em nove categorias de temas de piadas: (1) orientalismos, (2) moral e política, (3) natureza e corpo, (4) cultura pop, (5) sacralização da psicologia e psicologização da religião, (6) esoterismo europeu cristão, (7) mitologias de ciência, (8) magia, bruxaria e paganismo, e (9) teorias de conspiração. Baseado nas considerações sobre ethos de Bateson, o estudo demonstrou que estudar o humor de um grupo religioso também permite captar elementos centrais de seu ethos.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2023-07-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/6193910.23925/1677-1222.2023vol23i1a11REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 23 No. 1 (2023): Religion and humor; 173-194REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 23 n. 1 (2023): Religião e humor; 173-1941677-122210.23925/1677-1222.2023vol23i1reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
