Parody and humor challenging the mainstream Religion discourse on Facebook
Romanian Journal of Journalism and Communication, issue 4 (56), year XII (XVI), 2017
section: Media, religion and popular culture
pages: 42-47
abstract
Since always, humor and parody were employed
as subversive arm against the mainstream public
discourse. The satirical press (as Le Canard Enchaîné
in France or Academia Catavencu/Catavencii in
Romania) has nowadays an online competition with
developing online form of alternative expression using
humor to challenge mainstream public discourse,
including the religious one. We will analyze, using
qualitative content analysis, a Facebook page called
Dumnezeu (God) where this kind of alternative
discourse (counter-discourse) is activated in order to
identify religion’s representations and mechanisms
employed for this satirical approach.

abstract (second language):
Depuis toujours, l’humour et la parodie ont été
utilisés comme instrument subversif contre le discours
public dominant. La presse satirique (comme Le
Canard Enchaîné en France ou Academia Catavencu/
Catavencii en Roumanie) a aujourd’hui une
concurrence vu le développement des formes
d’expression alternatives en ligne qui emploient
l’humour contre le discours public dominant, y
compris religieux. Nous analyserons, en faisant
appel à l’analyse de contenu qualitative, la Page
Facebook intitulée Dumnezeu (Dieu) où ce type de
discours alternatif est construit afin d’identifier les
représentations de la religion et les mécanismes
utilisés dans cette approche satirique.
