Cena burlesca: O uso do humor nas imagens dos candidatos nas eleições de 1989, 2002, 2006

Abstract

There are certain symbolic statements in elections in which politicians seek to fulfill in order to build the best possible candidate to win the elections. The images published in the media try to fill such statements, using pictures with children, political leaders, among others. Are broadcast images that do not mischaracterize the candidate, but depended on the political dispute that is drawn. The paper analyzes the images published in magazines Veja and Isto é of the presidential campaigns of 1989, 2002 and 2006 to estabilish interactions between mood and images of the main candidates. The exhibition of humorous situations of candidates aims desacralize power. Thus, we find that the characteristics of a mood scoffer will offset the conflictive and controversial aspects of the intent of the image.
