SUMMARY:

When it comes to the accessibility for deaf people, humor, in addition to professional and legislative aspects, plays a relevant role, since it is a recognized tool for cultural dissemination. In this context, memes are particularly important, as they portray, for example, the performance of the professional Interpreter of Libras (Brazilian Sign Language). Considering the production and circulation in social networks of this relevant cultural artifact, we intend to investigate these images produced in and by the deaf community. In this work, we start from the methodological point of view of Discourse Analysis to investigate which effects of meaning emerge from the analytical reading of memes disseminated about and by the deaf community. Specifically, we propose i) to identify the possible effects of meaning in imagistic recordings; ii) to infer positions in imagery memes, by comparing enunciative scenes of the deaf and non-deaf culture; iii) analyze the identity and cultural representations from the constitution of certain ethé for the deaf and hearing communities. For this analysis, we rely on the theoretical contributions of Maingueneau (2008a, 2012, 2016b) to understand how these memes about and by the deaf community are constituted in the clash between different positioning. In this study, the expression meme is understood as a language phenomenon and as an exercise of power in discursive community practices (BAKHTIN, 2002, 2010, 2016; GUERRA e BOTTA 2018; FOUCAULT, [1970] 2014, 1979, 1986, 2018; FELIPE, 2011; MAINGUENEAU, 2008, 2012; WIGGINS, 2019). We also work with the theoretical concepts inside the studies of deaf culture (CANCLINI, 2009; HALL, 2002; 1997; QUADROS, KARNOPP, 2004; PERLIN, MIRANDA, 2003; PERLIN, 2016; SÁ, 2006; SKLIAR, 2016; STROBEL, 2009; TESKE, 2016, WOODWARD, 2000), moved mainly by our interest in the cultural and identity constitution of deaf communities and in the hegemonic representations of the deaf person and sign language. Our analysis suggest that the memes (1) not only entertain internet users, but also inherit a practice that is recognized and maintained on the network by the community; (2) incorporate the ethé that, when staged, show determined positions (disqualifying or belonging to/from the deaf community); (3) (re)construct the power relations through the exercise of their positions; (4) point to identity and cultural representations from the demarcation of difference.
