Rir para não chorar: o riso nas notícias do Sensacionalista referentes aos processos de votação do impeachment de Dilma Rousseff

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the phenomenon of fake news through the Sensationalist, a humorous, fictional and self-described "truth-free" newspaper in the processes of voting in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies and Senate in 2016 on the impeachment of the then President of the Republic Dilma Rousseff. For this we have the concepts of humor and laughter by Minois (2003), Bergson (1987), Freud (1980), Propp (1991) and Bakhtin (1987). The elements irony, satire and parody, present in the false news use the definitions of Moses (1978), Hutcheon (2000), Sant'Anna (1999) and D'Onófrio (1968). Since they are a "byproduct" of journalism, fake news is based on the characteristics of journalism to distort the real facts. On the concepts of the Brazilian press, which is the basis and inspires the humorous approaches, were brought Traquina (2005), Sodré (2009), Lage (1998), Marques de Melo; Francisco de Assis (2016). The work is based on Laurence Bardin's Content Analysis (1977 and 2008) in the investigation and classification of Sensationalist news that involves the selected theme in the dates of occurrence (April 17 and May 11, 2016), taking into account aspects narrative as characters, local and temporal notion of texts, elements brought by Gancho (1991).
