Entrai pela porta dos fundos: defesa de fé e crenças no canal no Youtube

This article investigates the appropriations and new meanings attributed to Christian practices and dogmas present in the video “Christmas Special” published in the YouTube channel “The Back Door” published in December 2013. This paper presents and discusses the relationship between belief and comicality in order to apprehend humor and laughter as questioners of said absolute truths. By analyzing the video in question, we identify some suitable and reevaluated Christian dogmas by the aforementioned channel. We also turn to comments on the official page of this channel on YouTube in order to identify different opinions, defense of faith and beliefs. We conclude that the unquestionable is questioned through humor and the condition of existence in the world is doubted.

“Você suja minha cidade, eu sujo sua cara”: práticas de escrita urbana sobre a propaganda eleitoral

This study discusses the practice of everyday people defacing political material. We analyzed photographic records of these counterpropaganda interventions in the form of text and/or images published on the Facebook profile “Sujo sua cara” (I deface you) and the reconstructed meaning in the new discourse produced. Observing the posters and meaning shared in these visual interactions invites reflection on the non-partisan nature of the phenomenon and (dis)belief in political propaganda, representative democracy, and the political class in general.
