Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the memes on the General Strike of day 28 April 2017 seeking to set up the role assigned to them in the construction of the class struggle. Thus, we identify the metaphorical conceptual maps used in the construction of memes and categorize them according to the metaphorical choices and according to the objectives intended by their authors. To do so, we use the theory of Conceptual Metaphors of Lakoff and Johnson and the focus of the critical analysis of the discourse for data analysis. The data demonstrated the existence of two antagonistic groups that presented very similar metaphorical conceptual maps intragroup and very opposite intergroup, marking well the differences of realized choices and of intended objectives. The "memes coxinhas" denoted clearly partisan content tending to demobilize the struggle and maculate the image of a particular party, and the "memes mortadelas" memes presented classist content tending to mobilize workers for resistance. We conclude that the study of memes can help to raise clues to support the understanding of social phenomena.
