This essay aims at studying some French and Italian political Internet memes in order to observe the use of irony and humor in the construction of a polemical discourse against political authorities in France and in Italy. We will first identify “meme” as a technodiscursive genre or, more precisely, as ‘technographism’ (Paveau 2017). Then, we will present the corpus, its size as well as the criteria which governed its construction following an inductive approach which aims to inform theoretical reflection from empirical data. It is only after emphasizing the link between ironic and humorous aims that we will present the qualitative analysis of the corpus, before moving on to the conclusions.

Abstract
This essay aims at studying some French and Italian political Internet memes in order to observe the use of irony and humor in the construction of a polemical discourse against political authorities in France and in Italy. We will first identify “meme” as a technodiscursive genre or, more precisely, as ‘technographism’ (Paveau 2017). Then, we will present the corpus, its size as well as the criteria which governed its construction following an inductive approach which aims to inform theoretical reflection from empirical data. It is only after emphasizing the link between ironic and humorous aims that we will present the qualitative analysis of the corpus, before moving on to the conclusions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
