Descrição
Resumo:Some theories concerning presupposition (STRAWSON, 1952; KEENAN, 1971) in enunciates and enunciation scenes (MAINGUENEAU, 2008) are revisited in this article, which aims to identify how and where the pragmatic presuppositions appear in a corpus formed by four videos uploaded on Youtube repository. Such videos are part of a viral phenomenon of the internet. All of them reproduce the same scene from the movie The Downfall, adding subtitles in which the original content of the movie is replaced by dialogues about contemporary subjects. The analysis authorizes us to conclude that the Adolf Hitler character, the leading role in the mentioned movie, is transformed via changes in comprehensive and generic scenes, from which it is possible to re-introduce him in certain contexts. In that process, presuppositions emerge in satirical or mocking ways.
