Resumo: This article analyzes the carnivalization (Bakhtin 1996, 2018) in political memes that circulate on the internet. It starts from the hypothesis that the chosen genre is characterized by the inversion of the “natural logic” of the objects, by the “upside down” representation of facts from “official life” and by the carnivalesque laughter. The theoretical-methodological basis is found in Bakhtin (1996, 2016, 2018), Medvedev (2019) and Voloshinov (2013, 2017). The material to be used in this study consists of four memes collected on Facebook, between 2019 and 2020. The article examines the relationship between the language of the public square carnival and that used in memes; the process of carnivalization and the type of laughter present in the memes. The results show that political memes make use of unpolished ways of saying, of questioning that signal the lowering of the other, through criticism or debauchery, stirring the laughter of internet users who share the same critical position of the creator of the meme

Partimos da hipótese de que o gênero escolhido se caracteriza pela inversão da “lógica natural” dos objetos, pela representação “ao avesso” de fatos da “vida oficial” e pelo riso carnavalesco. A fundamentação teórico-metodológica é encontrada em Bakhtin (1996, 2016, 2018), Medviédev (2019) e Volóchinov (2013, 2017). O material a ser analisado neste trabalho é um recorte constituído de quatro memes coletados no Facebook, entre os anos de 2019 e 2020. Examinamos a relação entre a linguagem da praça pública carnavalesca e a utilizada nos memes; o processo de carnavalização e o tipo de riso presente nos memes. Os resultados mostram que os memes políticos fazem uso de formas não polidas de dizer, de questionamentos que sinalizam para o rebaixamento do outro, pela crítica ou pelo deboche, despertando o riso dos internautas que partilham o posicionamento crítico do criador do meme.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2022-03-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigos de linguísticaartigos de linguísticaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/6134510.12957/matraga.2022.61345Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 29 n. 55 (2022): Miscelânea; 15-28MATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 29 No. 55 (2022): Miscelaneous; 15-282446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/61345/41598Cavalcante, Francilene LeiteCunha, Dóris de Arruda C. daCaiado, Roberta Varginha Ramosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-27T10:06:42Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/61345Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matragaPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matraga/oai||letrasmatraga@uerj.br2446-69051414-7165opendoar:2022-05-27T10:06:42Matraga (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false
