O riso bate à porta: o humor de "Porta dos Fundos" e a crítica à religiosidade cristã contemporânea

Abstract

This work aims to understand the ways in wich some videos from the internet humor channel, Porta dos Fundos, appropriate christian dogmas and practices and tension them over polemical and contemporary questions. Said so, the first chapter looks to christianism trying to understand how it suffered certain displacement, lost partof the authority in its hegemonic speech and branched itself in new religious movements towards the phenomenon called secularization. The second chapter characterizes building elements of comicalness, tells the history of laughter in different times and points out a discussion over satire, parody and irony, literary genres and processes used in humors behalf. The mentioned triad is a reading key to identify theshape of the twelve videos analised. The analytical script is based on the concept of framework and interactive situational approach, that allows us to identify the framing alternation, roles estabilished and the conflicts highlighted in the channels videos. As a result we understand that the corpus does not criticizes christianism itself, but the way itis imposed and the controversial catholic and [neo]pentecostal leaderships
