The question of identity is in vogue, in social theory, in the political practices, and for sure, in language studies. In many ways and under various approaches, it has been problematized. In this paper, we are especially interested in the relationship between identity and its representation as a discursive production. The identity refers to a set of own characteristics for those the subject is recognizable and known in society, while the subject is constructed by the speeches that forms itself. Thus, under the bias of Discourse Analysis and considering the perspective of Cultural Studies, we will observe the speech about the identity of genre in some strips of Muriel, a character created by Laertes, a cartoonist who in 2009 adopted the practice of crossdressing. The choice for this subject was mainly motivated by the current thematic aspects exposed in the strips, for mobilizing various discourses and discuss, through art and humor, a remarkable and controversial experience in our society. Our goal is to observe in which ways their strips reveal a need for exposure, information and affirmation about a certain identity practice, and from that, examine the discursive practices that constitute - and also contribute -  to an specific identity. We understand that Laertes’ personal experience has motivated the discourse conveyed in his recent work. An expression and exposure about his identity that tells from himself and also to himself and from many people to many others.

Este artigo apresenta uma leitura do poema “Morfologia do soberano”, de Zuca Sardan, com base na análise de seus recursos humorísticos, cujo emprego pode ser interpretado como estratégia para aumentar a comunicabilidade e chamar a atenção do leitor. Em primeiro lugar, desenvolvo um breve panorama da longa discussão sobre os múltiplos sentidos atribuídos ao termo humor, desde sua antiga acepção fisiológica (atrelada à doutrina dos chamados quatro humores corporais), passando pelos conceitos modernos de engenho (humor deliberadamente cultivado) e wit, até chegar à noção de humor estético. Como forma particular de representação literária, enfoco a idéia de que o humor caracteriza-se por elaborações discursivas variadas que empregam determinados procedimentos lingüísticos, no intuito de construir visões de mundo notadamente marcadas pela crítica e pela dessacralização. No caso do poema de Sardan, procuro também ressaltar como esse estrato ideológico associado ao humor vincula-se, num sentido mais amplo, ao questionamento de formas tradicionais do fazer poético brasileiro, tal como foi empreendido pela poesia marginal no contexto da década de 70.
