Resumen:
The refraction of society and politics through art is something that refers to records that
accompany the history of man as a being instituted as expressive and speaker. In this
context, discursive genres are constitutive elements of society development since
immemorial time, constituting themselves as transmission belts between the history of
society and language. This dissertation was guided by the following problem question:
What refractions and carnivalizations can be understood in animations that thematize
sociocultural and political contexts regarding the Bolsonaro government? To answer
this question, the following general objective was established: to investigate,
dialogically, through the phenomenon of refraction and carnivalization, political and
social criticism present in the speeches of animations about the Bolsonaro
government. As specific objectives: (1) to understand the dimensions of discursive
genre (theme, style and composition) in animations; (2) to analyze political and social
criticism present in the speeches of the characters refracted and carnivalized in the
animations; and (3) to stablish dialogic relationships between the characters’ speeches
of the animations with the sociocultural contexts that implied in the construction of the
utterances from which they originated. The theories that guide this research are based
on the linguistic and philosophical thought of the Bakhtin Circle. This research is
situated in the qualitative paradigm of an interpretive nature – for the methodological
articulation, the methods used were sociological and etnographic, considering the
nature of the data generated on the YouTube platform of the World Wide Web. The
corpora of the analysis comprise two animations made by the artist André Guedes: (1)
Bolsonaro from 2018 meets the current Bolsonaro; and (2) Captain Clorokina –
Lockdoria. The theoretical and methodological articulations of this research provided
results that evidenced that refractions and carnivalizations are expressions of
discourse in life and art. Among the functions of refraction and carnivalization, in the
animations under analysis, we have the effect of laughter, comedy, humor, since both
the physical appearance of the characters and their speeches are carnivalized. For
this reason, the analyzed animations are only understood (become concrete
statements) to the extent that the reading subjects have the knowledge of the facts,
events and statements that originated them. Therefore, the subjects of discursive
interaction need a critical-reflective involvement on the sociocultural and political
contexts that the country finds itself, mainly on the facts related to the Bolsonaro
government, considering that it is the current government in Brazil. In summary, this
research is the expression of the refraction and carnivalization of discourses of a
political nature in animare life and art.
