Ressonâncias dialógicas da cultura popular e do carnaval na web

Abstract

According to Bakhtin, the Rabelais and Dostoevsky’s poetics descended directly from a traditional oral literature and they are intimately linked to the carnival festivities and rites, reflecting more than aesthetic and stylistic aspects: cultural aspects. In this context, the aim of this paper is to apply the concept of carnivalization (Bakhtin, 2005; 2010a; 2010b) to textual - discursive practices produced and disseminated on the web, more specifically in comic sites, blogs and wikis. We found that the categories of the carnivalization (present, subversion, parody and polyphony) are productive for a better understanding of texts produced on the web. The results we got show that aspects of popular culture are consolidated in the social unconscious - something verifiable by both producers comic texts and by the diffusers such texts, which take advantage of the collaborative nature of Web 2.0 to disseminate and perpetuate the popular comic culture.
