YOU DON'T PLAY WITH GOD: THE HUMORISTIC REPRESENTATION OF RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS IN PORTA DOS
FUNDOS SKETCHES
Porta dos Fundos- Social Representations- Christianity
Created in 2012, the comedy group Porta dos Fundos has been standing out in the national comic scene with
its audiovisual production. Among the themes addressed in their humorous narratives are the representation of religious symbols, the target of our research. Supported by the concept of Social Representations (MOSCOVICI, 2007) we will seek to analyze the intersection between the comic and the Christian religious field in the comedians' sketches. The composition of our corpus is limited to the production of the Porta dos Fundos group, broadcast on Youtube between the years 2012 to 2021. sketches, these categories being: 1) Theophanies; 2) Imaginary about the metaphysical (Christian); 3) Parodies of biblical narratives; 4) Institutional criticism; 5) Religious discursive memory.
