Surdos e humor: uma observação do funcionamento da ironia como resistência e protesto à luz da análise de discurso

Abstract

This research seeks to discuss the discursive functioning of humor, especially by observing irony as resistance and protest. It is based on the foundations of materialist Discourse Analysis proposed by M. Pêcheux (1975, 1983) found in the works of Orlandi (2015), principles of film Analysis and different discursive materialities based on the works of Lagazzi (2011, 2013, 2017, 2019) and Vanoye (2008), as well as notions of Digital Discourse Analysis, as proposed by Dias (2016) and D' Andrea (2020). Furthermore, research on deferred textuality (Peluso, 2018, 2019) and the work on humor and discourse by Oliveira (2018) were also used. The analysis corpus consists of a video posted on a digital environment known as social network - Instagram. In it, five deaf friends take turns reporting real situations they each experienced. They resort to irony, to produce a humorous effect while showing indignation at what is being described. In the vein of materialist Discourse Analysis, the work addresses notions of subject position and conditions of production (Orlandi, 2015), utterance and historical displacement (Guimarães, 2020), among others. It presents the effects of the "ban" on sign languages (Baaldaki; Caldas, 2014), an event marked by the 1880 resolutions at the Second International Congress on Education for the Deaf held in Milan, Italy, which caused deaf associations to became a linguistic refuge, the meeting point where the language circulated, was preserved and developed. Bringing it to contemporary production conditions, it addresses the encounter on digital platforms where the effect of (ironic) humor on the resistance and affirmation of the existence of the Deaf subject is perceived
