This article analyses memetic performances as forms of creative resistance that engage the body as a temporary affective mediator in the service of informational mobilisation against the invader during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The scientific approach combines the semio-pragmatics of communication and performance studies. It is applied to the analysis of three case studies. The article identifies modes of signification and enunciative specificities that enable memetic performances to provide symbolic mediations of identity online and in the public space, marked by an agonistic framework in which the ideological opposition between the actors plays a decisive role.
