SUMMARY:

Assumed by the French Discourse Analysis with the studies of Orlandi (2009) and Pêcheux ([1969] 1997) and by the Digital Discourse Analysis with the studies of Dias (2018) is that the work on screen aims to discursively analyze a set of internet memes that were cut from their viralization in the digital space. The memes that make up our analytical object somehow portray the female subject specifically. The material form of memes almost always appears with jocular, humorous effects, so they are often seen as simple texts with the purpose of fun. However, thinking about humor discursively, we understand that it attends to processes of meaning and that its functioning is beyond fun and pleasure. In other words, memes are also effects of meaning, and it is these meanings that interest us, as they explore the game with language, with contradiction, with misunderstanding, with the slippage of meaning, with subject-positions, history and ideology. With this in mind, in a brief approach to our analytical object, it was possible to observe that memes about women, in a generic way, present, supported by the humorous character, discourses constructed, reproduced and naturalized in society that perpetuate a social imaginary of what it is to be against this, it was also possible to observe movements that arouse society's critical sense for these static images of the female subject. In this way, we can observe that the digital can be both a space for the perpetuation of socially crystallized meanings and a space for detaching or displacing dominant meanings.
