HUMOROUS PRESENTATION OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC ON THE EXAMPLE OF VISUAL-VERBAL INTERNET GENRES

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses humorous presentations of the school system during the coronavirus pandemic in visual-verbal internet genres (image macro memes and viral photos) in the context of topical humor. Internet genres are analyzed in relation to topical joke cycles. They are divided into three groups according to the most frequent topics: 1) the implementation of epidemiological measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus in schools, 2) the organization of the teaching process during the pandemic, and 3) the reaction of teaching staff to instructions and statements from educational leaders. The analysis reveals connections between the investigated examples and the news as well as satirical presentations of educational leaders. An attempt is made to analyze how humorous effects are achieved in these visual-verbal internet genres. The research focuses on examples posted on the social network profiles of two active web pages in the education system – Nastavnici.org and Srednja.hr – from the beginning of the pandemic in March until the end of September 2020.
