Abstract

This article has as study object Real Political Person Fictions – short stories produced in fanfics forums produced by amateurs writers whose main characteristic is the insertion of real representatives of public offices in parallel fictional universes. We will study, specifically, three productions that imagine a romance between Lula and Bolsonaro in order to discuss how these media actions engender specific forms of symbolic consumption of politics. Based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of French Discourse Analysis, we will observe the discursive aspects in common in these three productions and observe what they reveal in terms of consumption of mediated discourses and forms of consumption of contemporary politics
