Quem somos nós hoje?: memes, subjetividades e malacos no facebook

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to analyze discursively the construction of subjectivities about Belém do Pará. For this, I select as materialities memes that were published in Facebook pages, between January 1, 2016 and January 31, 2018, which thematically state and his capital, demonstrating how this subject builds himself and his peers through verbal (FOUCAULT, 2012) and visual statements (COURTINE, 2011). The theoretical anchoring is carried out through Discourse Analysis and uses the philosophical postulates of Michel Foucault who, when questioning "Who are we today?", Opens space for the search of the understanding of how the subjects are constituted throughout a discontinuous history . Considering the historical trajectory of Belém from the colonial device (NEVES, 2015) and its silenced subjects, I analyze regular processes of (in) visualization of diverse cultural practices, which expose the complexity of a Belém heterotopic (FOUCAULT, 2001), in that the periphery is part of a constant and uninterrupted historical process of exclusion. However, this same process, based on an internal colonialist game (GONZALES CASANOVA, 2015), allows these marginalized individuals their resistance, invested in themselves new forms of power, based on a new discursive order (FOUCAULT, 2014), which is placed, in advance, as a counter-claim to hegemony.
