Resumo
Humor is a resource exploited by many subjects to materialize / reproduce different discourses.
The band Mamonas Assassinas has in its compositions a place populated by discourses that abuse
of irony and debauchery, and at the same time manage to illustrate critics to the modernity of the
globalized life. So much so that, twenty years after the end of the band, its utterances continue to
produce current sense effects. In "Madness, Nonsense, Inevitable State": discourse, humor and
irony in Mamonas Assassinas, we aim to analyze the discourses and the positioning of the
discursive subject present in the utterance reproduced by the band Mamonas Assassinas. The
corpus of analysis was materialized in fourteen lyrics composed by the group, and the description /interpretation of these statements follows the perspective of the French Discourse Analysis,
supported mainly by the studies of Michel Foucault and Mikhail Bakhtin. The theoretical support
that bases the research comes mainly from the archegenealogical studies of Foucault, with regard
to conceptions of enunciation, discursive subject and devices of power / knowledge. In order to
understand how humor is configured in the reproduction of these statements, we rely mainly on
Bakhtin’s study of Rabelais, also illustrating the concept of carnivalization. At the look of the
band's constitution as a discursive subject, we searched for articles published in newspapers and
magazines between 1995 and 1996 that approached the performance of the group, corroborating
the positions that these statements made possible. The selected vehicles O Globo newspaper and
Revista Veja magazine, because they are mechanisms of great circulation. In the analysis section,
the statements of music lyrics are arranged in enunciative series that follow the regularities: social
critic discourse, criticism discourse to consumerism, and resistance to sexuality power /knowledge
device. The analysis transits into a dialogue between Foucault and Bakhtin's studies. Starting from
these statements, we observe the discursive positioning of a determiner subject, who as resists the
exercise of a power, as subscribes to it. However, this positioning always takes place through an
ironic humor, demonstrating how this resource is fundamental for the reproduction of the
discourses in question.
