Abstract

Since always, humor and parody were employed as subversive arm against the mainstream public discourse. The satirical press (as Le Canard Enchaîné in France or Academia Catavencu/Catavencii in Romania) has nowadays an online competition with developing online form of alternative expression using humor to challenge mainstream public discourse, including the religious one. We will analyze, using qualitative content analysis, a Facebook page called Dumnezeu (God) where this kind of alternative discourse (counter-discourse) is activated in order to identify religion’s representations and mechanisms employed for this satirical approach.
