Poder e humor em tempos de pandemia: as deepfakes de Brunno Sarttori

Abstract

How can humor be considered as an exercise of power? In times of pandemic, what is revolutionary about this mood that causes a laugh against the high echelon of a country's government? These are general questions that I discuss in this article, taking as analysis material two videos produced/signed by Brunno Sarttori. The objective is to illustrate the thesis of humor as a practice of resistance from the theme of Covid-19, especially from a classical procedure in the discursive field of humor: parody.
