Abstract

This paper analyzes aspects of the enunciation of memes that circulated in the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Making use of the concept of “scenes of enunciation”, it analyzes the scenography of the texts as the scene of relevance, an important aspect of typical Internet enunciation. In addition, it analyzes the texts by offering an interpretation of how these texts comically cut out the historical moment of the pandemic. It is, therefore, at the same time, a work that promotes theoretical application and that aims to contribute to the understanding of the specific period to which the selected texts refer. For this, it selects different memes, but intensifies the analysis of those who are called “Dráuzio sincero (sincere)”.
