Sátira política e literatura em cybercharges de Marcio Vaccari (2019-2022)

Abstract

This dissertation investigates how literature – understood from an expanded perspective that encompasses cinema, music, and the visual arts – is incorporated into the construction of critical humor in the cybercharges of Marcio Vaccari, published between 2019 and 2022, amidst a context of political radicalization and social setbacks during the Bolsonaro administration. Rather than merely provoking laughter, these digital productions function as instruments of resistance, using satire as a central strategy to expose the dismantling of public policies and highlight the contradictions of an official discourse marked by intolerance, negligence, and distortion of reality. Through the analysis of a selected corpus of cybercharges that engage with literary works and references, this study seeks to understand how humor intertwines with social criticism, cultural memory, and multimodal language to challenge the present. The research is grounded in a theoretical framework that encompasses reflections on the contemporary political context (Avritzer, 2020 & 2021; Singer, 2018; Castro Rocha, 2021), as well as studies on humor and the grotesque (Bergson, 1987; Propp, 1992; Bakhtin, 1987; Sodré & Paiva, 2002), satire and parody (Moisés, 2004; Hansen, 1990; Hutcheon, 1989), and contributions on political cartoons and their reconfiguration in the digital environment (Miani, 2012; Schwertner & Adolfo, 2020)
