| dc.description.abstract | In this research, we analyzed the LGBT production of humorous effect in gay humor channels of YouTube, while discourse about the centrifugal and centripetal homonormative forces. The gay humor of the channels studied uses carnivalization (centrifugal force) as a humor technique to generate ruptures (resistance and transgression) in homonormative discourse, which presents a reproduction of heteronormative discourse. While c has mediated the homonormative discourse (couples of happy, well-married and successful gays, constituting family through adoption, etc.) to generate the effect of social acceptance by resemblance to heteronormative discourse (which in turn bears similarities to patriarchal discourse, traditional pro-family, open anti-relationship, against free and non-standardized sexuality), gay humor channels have resorted to grotesque and carnivalization to resist and transgress to homonormative discourse and also to shift from the margins to the center LGBT subjects who do not guide themselves homonormatively. Our research has evidenced that this type of humorous production is sometimes based on a coded language (Pajuba, Bajubá or Bichês), evoking social practices and symbolic constructions of the daily, the subjective and the gay identity, often becoming this language-imagery-humorous production, opaque and inaccessible in its effects of humorous sense to other social groups, not generating laughter because of the absence of certain knowledge and memories in them (POSSENTI, 2010). The grotesque discourse here also identified constitutes a significant part of the corpus analyzed: 6 videos respectively extracted from the gay humor channels Tea of 5, Pô na Roda, Bibas From Viscaya, Bicha Melhore, Bee Channel and Oranges Bahia. To deal with this particular discourse, we use the propositions on the grotesque of Mikhail Bakhtin (1999) and the grotesque categories created by Muniz Sodré and Raquel Paiva (2002). Grotesque and carnivalization (centrifugal force) function as procedures and techniques of humor, putting themselves in the videos against the representations of homonormative discourse. The analysis of the conditions of possibility (FOUCAULT, 1996; 1971; 2000; 1990) was of great importance and acuity, as well as the discussion of the gender performativity of the American philosopher Judith Butler (1993; their respective bias in relation to gender and power relations, taking into account the fabrication of subjectivities and identities, as well as the exercise of resistance and transgression. For the accomplishment of this investigation, we support ourselves on the theoretical-conceptual and methodological basis of the Discourse Analysis of French affiliation. | |
