Abstract: | This article investigates the role of humor and satire as mobilization and political communication strategies in anti-austerity movements in Portugal, analyzing interactions between activists and followers on Facebook. Based on interviews an digital content analysis, it reveals that followers create and disseminate more humorous content, while activists adopt a cautious approach, constrained by material limitations and perceptions of public responsibility. Humor reinforces alternative narratives and community ties but may exclude actors from the public sphere. **************************************************************************************************************************** Este artigo investiga o papel do humor e da sátira como estratégias de mobilização e comunicação política em movimentos antiausteridade em Portugal, analisando interações entre ativistas e seguidores no Facebook. A partir de entrevistas e análise de conteúdos digitais, revela-se que os seguidores criam e disseminam mais conteúdos humorísticos, enquanto os ativistas adotam uma abordagem cautelosa, limitada por constrangimentos materiais e perceções de responsabilidade pública. O humor reforça narrativas alternativas e laços comunitários, mas pode excluir atores da esfera pública. |
