Abstract

This study aims to investigate, through discourse analysis of the French line, as is the discursive functioning of political discourse in derisive YouTube. The corpus is being mobilized vídeomontagens in which targets are derisive Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Rousseff as presidential candidates in 2006 and 2010, respectively. We will seek to understand how political actors Lula and Dilma are made in derision by the YouTube website during 2006 and 2010 elections. For the development of research, we believe that the notion of heterogeneity enunciative Jacqueline Authier-Revuz (1990) as an important conceptual tool for thinking about the relationship of discourse with its "Other" constitutive. We believe that the notion of constitutive heterogeneity shown and marked formulated by Authier-Revuz although quite relevant to account for corporate political markedly serious textual circulating in traditional media: books, newspapers and print magazines, for example, requires a reconfiguration in respect the treatment of corporate political derisive markedly, especially those circulating in non-traditional media such as YouTube, where enunciators lodge their own texts. We believe that when it comes to an "other" satirical, mocking, which is brought into the thread of the discourse of the self, this satirical speech is always presented in the hidden traces of interdiscourse. Thus, we argue that to think the derision of politics on media like YouTube the notion of heterogeneity should be expanded and thought while hidden heterogeneity. We will seek to analyze our object in the "intermingling" description and interpretation, that is, we do a thorough job description of linguistic material, imagery and sound of the selected texts and the same process illustrates how these work interpretively materialities political events by circulating data YouTube.
