Resumo: 2014 Elections in Brazil have been marked in popular Brazilian imagination as the “elections of memes”. From the scientific point of view, however, we believe that there are still few attempts to understand what the phenomenon of memes on the environment of the internet means for the Political Communication approach. This paper aims to discuss preliminary results of a comprehensive research on the uses and the appropriations of political-electoral memes. Our main goal is to develop, following former propositions from previous studies a taxonomy able to assist researchers interested in the topic to deal with this memes with greater objectivity. Therefore, we tried to perform a content analysis of memes that circulated during the Brazilian presidential election debates in 2014. The results point to the need to evaluate the production of meaning by Internet users talking about the political scene, understanding the memes as an expression of public opinion able to read the performances of candidates through social commentary in digital media.

Sob o ponto de vista científico, porém, acredita-se que há ainda raras tentativas de compreender o que o fenômeno dos memes, no ambiente da internet, representa para a Comunicação Política. Este trabalho propõe-se a expor resultados preliminares de investigação sobre os usos e as apropriações de memes político-eleitorais. O principal objetivo é desenvolver, a partir de propostas anteriores, uma matriz taxonômica capaz de auxiliar pesquisadores interessados no tema a tratarem dos memes com maior objetividade. Para tanto, procurou-se realizar uma análise de conteúdo sobre memes que circularam durante os debates eleitorais presidenciais em 2014. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de avaliarmos a produção de sentido de internautas sobre a cena política, percebendo os memes como expressão de uma opinião pública capaz de ler a performance dos candidatos através de comentários sociais nas mídias digitais.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2017-01-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/6389210.19132/1807-8583201738.173-196Intexto; n. 38, jan./abr. 2017; 173-196Intexto; n. 38, jan./abr. 2017; 173-196Intexto; n. 38, jan./abr. 2017; 173-196Intexto; n. 38, jan./abr. 2017; 173-196Intexto; n. 38, jan./abr. 2017; 173-1961807-8583reponame:Intexto (Porto Alegre)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/63892/40226Copyright (c) 2017 Viktor Chagas, Fernanda Alcântara Freire, Daniel Rios, Dandara Magalhãeshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChagas, ViktorFreire, Fernanda AlcântaraRios, DanielMagalhães, Dandara2023-11-23T17:10:34Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/63892Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intextoONGhttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intexto/oai||intexto@ufrgs.br1807-85831807-8583opendoar:2023-11-23T17:10:34Intexto (Porto Alegre) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
