Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliography.Cartooning is an extremely heterogeneous practice whose genealogy can be traced back to caricature. This paper does not concern itself with the diversity that can be found in the cartoons of Derek Bauer and Jonathan Shapiro (Zapiro), but rather chooses to focus on the potential of cartooning as a critical art practice. Given that the "flipside" of criticism is censorship, the effects of censorship on cartooning together with cartooning's response to censorship will also be examined. Cartoons published in the alternative press after the 1985 declaration of a State of Emergency, but preceding the unbanning of political organisations in February 1990, which comment directly on press or political censorship, as well as those which raise issues pertinent to censorship, provide the basis for examining the converse notions of criticism and censorship. Having said this it should also be stated at the outset that whilst this paper focuses on particular cartoons produced in specific historical circumstances, it is also intended that this paper will have broader implications for the development of a contemporary critical art practice. This paper proceeds from the premise that criticism and censorship are oppositional and antagonistic concepts which seldom appear alone. Criticism, particularly when expressed publicly and directed at specific interest groups (eg. a ruling elite) frequently evokes censorship, whilst censorship and repression in turn breed criticism and resistance.

Herek, Ann Marie. "The effects of perceived sexism on funniness ratings of cartoons." Virtual Press, 1986. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/451607.
Full textAbstract:
Humor-evoking events frequently contain aggressive elements. Sex differences have been found for the effects of aggressive content on perceived funniness, (Wilson & Molleston, 1981; Terry & Ertle, 1974; Groch, 1974; Felker & Hunter, 1970) but the findings are not consistent. Sexism is sometimes perceived as a more subtle form of aggression. Sex differences have also been found for the way sexism affects funniness ratings, (Chapman & Gadfield, 1976; Priest & Wilhelm, 1974) but again the findings are inconsistent. The primary purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between the ratings of sexism and the ratings of funniness for cartoons. A secondary purpose of the present study was to determine to what extent, if any, gender of experimenter influences humor, sex, sexism, and pain ratings.Subjects were 60 female and 58 male introductory Psychology students. There were four experimental groups: two groups of female and two groups of male subjects. A female experimenter was assigned to one male and one female group, and a male experimenter was assigned to one male and one female group. This design facilitated exploration of an experimenter gender x subject gender interaction. Subjects were shown 34 cartoons and asked to rate each for funniness, and then to rate them for the degree of sexual, sexist, and aggressive (pain) content each contained.A preliminary analysis revealed that there were significant relationships between gender of experimenter and funniness ratings, gender of subject and funniness ratings, as well as a gender of experimenter x gender of subject interaction.A step-down multiple regression was performed among the predictor variables experimenter gender and subject gender, with the criterion of funniness, for each of the four experimental conditions. For female subjects, only sexism scores correlated with funniness scores, and the contributions of sex and pain ratings were not significant. For male subjects, only sex scores correlated with funniness scores, and the contributions of sexism and pain ratings were not significant. Comparisons between these results and past research were made.

This present piece of work has as a objective to analyse the linguistic discursive construction found in the cartoons by Angeli. The corpus is composed by four cartoons published by Folha de São Paulo newspaper relating the period from January 2016 to September 2016, regarding Dilma Rousseff´s impeachment. We believe that cartoons provide rewarding experiences with issues related to language and humour as a social phenomenon which expresses an opinion leader character. The theoretical principles are based on humour concepts presented and discussed in the studies of Bergson (1993), Propp (1992), Travaglia(1990), as well as in the Discourse Analyses in media context from Charaudeau`s perspective (2005, 2006, 2009, 2014, 2015). Firstly, we proceed to present the corpus and historical aspects which involve the selected cartoons. We resumed the history, trying to understand how humour was explained by scholars and theoreticians chosen for this study. We managed to identify the linguistic elements of humour in cartoons and the effects of understanding of such cartoons. Finally, after corpus analyses, we realized that humour not only criticizes, but also derides those who distance from social standards
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a construção linguístico-discursiva do humor nas charges de Angeli. O corpus é composto por quatro charges, publicadas no jornal Folha de S. Paulo, referente ao período de janeiro de 2016 a setembro de 2016, a respeito do impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. Acreditamos que os textos humorísticos possibilitam gratificantes experiências com as questões da língua e do humor como um fenômeno social que exprime um caráter formador de opinião. A fundamentação teórica baseia-se em conceitos de humor apresentados e discutidos nos estudos de Bergson (1993), Propp (1992), Travaglia (1990), bem como na Análise do Discurso em contexto midiático sob a perspectiva de Charaudeau (2005, 2006, 2009, 2014, 2015). Primeiramente, procedemos à apresentação do corpus e dos aspectos históricos que abarcam as charges selecionadas. Realizamos uma retomada histórica, procurando conhecer como o humor foi explicado pelos pensadores e teóricos, escolhidos para esta pesquisa. Analisamos os mecanismos linguístico-discursivos do humor nas charges e os efeitos de sentido. Finalmente, após a análise do corpus, percebemos que o humor pode não só criticar, como também pode ridicularizar aqueles que se distanciam das normas sociais

Full textAbstract:
The identification and examination of cultural information strategies and censorship patterns used to propagate the controversial issue of the caricatures in two separate cultural contexts was the aim of this dissertation. It explored discourse used for the coverage of this topic by one newspaper in a restrictive information context and two newspapers in a liberal information context. Message propagation in a restrictive information environment was analyzed using the English daily Kuwait Times from the Middle East; the liberal information environment of the US was analyzed using two major dailies, the New York Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer. The study also concurrently identifies and elaborates on the themes and frames through which discourse was presented exposing the cultural ideologies and premises they represent. The topic was approached with an interdisciplinary position with the support and applicability testing of Chatman's insider-outsider theory within information science and Noelle-Neumann's spiral of silence theory and Herman and Chomsky's propaganda model based in the area of mass communication. The study has also presented a new model of information censorship - circle of information censorship, emphasizing conceptual issues that influence the selection and censorship of information.

Full textAbstract:
The illustrative work of Edward Linley Sambourne for Punch magazine during the period 1901-1910 addresses a myriad of political topics prevalent during the Edwardian period in British history. This thesis examines two of those topics - Women's Suffrage and Socialism - through their artistic treatment by one of Britain's most influential periodicals. Through a study of the historical context and iconography of selected cartoons-of-the-week, one is better equipped to understand and appreciate the meaning, message, and humor in the cartoons. Chapter 1 introduces the Sambourne, Punch magazine, and the Edwardian period in general. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss four Women's Suffrage cartoons and four Socialism cartoons respectively. Chapter 4 draws conclusions regarding Sambourne's techniques as a cartoonist as well as the relationship between the text and image in his illustrations.

Full textAbstract:
During Zimbabwe’s 2008 harmonised elections the country’s media laws had a direct impact on the way editorial cartoonists expressed themselves. Although the online newspapers were unregulated and the print media published under Zimbabwe’s media laws, Public Order and Security Act and Access to Information and Protection of Privacy act - the editorial cartoons from both sources show deliberate bias towards one candidate and contempt towards the main rival. The study contextualises the understanding of the editorial cartoon, as practised in an environment of freedom of speech and defined by the four categories identified by Press (1981) and Manning and Phiddian (2004), and delineates the effect of media laws on the newspaper industry in Zimbabwe. The four categories of editorial cartoons identified are descriptive editorial cartoons, laughing satirical editorial cartoons, destructive satirical editorial cartoons, and savage indignation editorial cartoons. The study reviews eight editorial cartoons, read using a semiotic framework investigating non-verbal communication, as defined and suggested by Du Plooy (1996), and a text and language grid, as suggested by Leech (1974), according to the criteria of symbols/metaphors, exaggeration/distortion, stereotypes, caricature, irony, captions, and background knowledge, as developed by Fetsko (2001). A comparative analysis of the cartoons reveals that objectives and functions of the unregulated zimonline.co.za and the regulated the Herald newspapers are the same. They constitute propagandistic representations of Zimbabwean politics that are more an extension of political ideology than they are a reflection of the country’s sociopolitical landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Entertainer or agent provocateur? The modern Canadian political cartoonist, historically speaking, possesses a split identity. The Gazette cartoonist Terry Mosher---a.k.a. Aislin---in his experience, career and involvement in the fall 1988 fight against free trade, illustrates the tension inherent in the identity of the modern Canadian political cartoonist. Mosher's experience offers a theory as to what circumstances might compel a cartoonist to break the cartoonist's compromise---an informal promise not to use their powerful platform to advance a coherent, systematic and specific political agenda or aim in exchange for editorial independence, journalistic "status," and proper financial remuneration---a state of affairs modern cartoonists are, under normal circumstances, happy to accept.

Full textAbstract:
The establishment of the French Absolutism under King Louis XIV depended in part on pictorial representation generated by the French Academy. As a vehicle and institute of the state, the Academy created a canon of imagery, which was known throughout Europe. This enabled Louis XIV's image to be reversed by the creators of the satirical images. The makers of the reverse image appropriated the institutionalized styles and genres of royal portraiture to create innovative satirical images of the monarch using the very canon Louis XIV sanctioned. In its analysis of a small body of satirical imagery, the thesis draws on various theories about the body of the king proposed by Jean-Marie Apostolides, Ernst Kantorowicz and Louis Marin. A comparison of satirical images with official images of the king demonstrates the successful strategies of satirical imagery and the collective need for these kinds images in the seventeenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Journalism))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.The media plays a fundamental role in shaping societies’ opinions about topical issues. Most human beings depend upon either the print media (newspapers/magazines), television or radio as their sources of news. The advent of the internet since the 1990s revolutionised the media world and created an immediacy on the impact of news like no other previous medium could provide, as it had a combination of audio and visual material. The most effective demonstration of such immediacy would be that of the impact of the September 11 attacks in the USA in 2001. The aftermath of the media’s impact still resonates throughout the world today, especially its impact on those who follow the Islamic faith. This paper aims to explore the impact of the media on this newly derived concept of Islamophobia, especially post 9/11. It includes a case study of the Islamophobic Danish cartoon controversy that occurred in February 2006. This paper discusses the concept of Islamophobia and anti-Islamism, as well as how the events of 9/11 and its media coverage contributed towards the worsening of this sentiment across the globe. The conclusion reached is that instead of the media acting as a mediator between Western society and the global Muslim community and creating an atmosphere of each understanding the other, it acted negatively against Islam, the world’s fastest growing religion.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the way Hong Kong independent comics encapsulate the essence of the city. Independent comics are distinguished from mainstream comics by their specific mode of production. More significantly they demonstrate an emphasis on subjective personal creativity and craftsmanship, which stands out sharply in the pervasive objective culture in modern society. Adopting an anthropological approach in representing local ways of living, these comics attempt to map an identity of Hong Kong in a way that is free from confusing influences of her postcolonial history, her political subordination to China and the global capitalist forces. The artists of independent comics embrace the essence of local culture by focusing on space and cultural memory and thereby rediscovering the truth and characteristics of life in Hong Kong. As a form of popular cultural text, Hong Kong independent comics package the local identity and history into fashionable goods for cultural consumption. Together with this, the articulation of a shared past creates forces of cohesion that binds the community together and offers a way for the people to negotiate their identity.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the social, political and technological that enabled the creation of a private space for the work of cartoonists in print journalism in the state of Sergipe. More specifically, it is to investigate the social conditions that led agents with distinct origins and socialization to produce cartoons for print media Sergipe, which features are likely to be used to occupy a place in space chargismo this state and which importance of a trajectory marked by previous actions in newspapers to obtain such resources. To account for understanding the factors guide for the entry chargismo journalism, it was necessary to analyze the insertion of cartoonists in various spheres and how they enable the acquisition of resources that can be usable for entry into the world of the press in position cartoonist. The empirical universe that formed the basis for research and analysis performed here corresponds to a set of producers of cartoons that work or have worked in the press of the state of Sergipe. We considered both cartoonists who currently produce cartoons for newspapers but also very cartoonists referenced among journalists, but they are not active anymore. With respect to subdivisions, this dissertation is structured in three stages. First, we analyze the socio-historical conditions that led to the constitution of chargismo newspaper in Brazil. At this point, the focus is on career paths of cartoonists and the constant restructuring of newspaper companies to identify the resources linked to the insertion of the press cartoonists. Secondly, we stop on the analysis of social determinants hallmarks of occupying a place in space chargismo newspaper. In this step, we treat the forms of recruitment of cartoonists, or rather, we examine the game realized by cartoonists from the proceeds of inserts intra and extra-journalistic and recognition for the work as producer of cartoons for newspapers. Finally, at the last moment of our research is an analysis of the skills of newspaper cartoonists, as these skills are developed and the importance of experience within the world of journalism to develop such skills. This work showed that the activity of the newspaper cartoonist is a form of action in which the journalistic skills are blended with artistic design skills and that the criteria for entry into the "profession" are based on the conversion of resources from the inserts itself journalistic universe and experience with the production of artistic designs.Esta dissertação analisa as condições sociais, políticas e tecnológicas que possibilitaram a constituição de um espaço próprio para a atuação dos chargistas dentro do jornalismo impresso no estado de Sergipe. Mais especificamente, trata-se de investigar os condicionantes sociais que conduziram agentes com origens e socializações distintas a produzirem charges para a mídia impressa sergipana, quais recursos são passíveis de serem utilizados para a ocupação de um lugar no espaço do chargismo deste estado e qual a importância de uma trajetória marcada pela atuação anterior em jornais para a obtenção de tais recursos. Para dar conta de entender os fatores balizadores da entrada no chargismo jornalístico, fez-se necessária a análise das inserções dos chargistas em esferas diversas e como elas possibilitam a aquisição de recursos passíveis de serem utilizáveis para a entrada no universo da imprensa na posição de chargista. O universo empírico que serviu de base para a investigação e análise aqui executada corresponde a um conjunto de produtores de charges que atuam ou já atuaram na grande imprensa do estado de Sergipe. Foram considerados tanto os chargistas que atualmente produzem charges para jornais como também chargistas muito referenciados no meio jornalístico, mas que não estão mais em atividade. Com relação às subdivisões, esta dissertação está estruturada em três momentos. Primeiramente, são analisadas as condições sócio-históricas que culminaram com a constituição do chargismo de jornais no Brasil. Nesse ponto, o foco recai sobre os percursos profissionais dos chargistas e o constante processo de reestruturação das empresas jornalísticas visando identificar os recursos ligados à inserção de chargistas na imprensa. Num segundo momento, nos detemos sobre a análise dos determinantes sociais balizadores da ocupação de um lugar no espaço do chargismo de jornais. Nesta etapa, tratamos das formas de recrutamento dos chargistas, ou melhor, examinamos o jogo realizado pelos chargistas entre os recursos advindos de inserções intra e extra-jornalísticas para a atuação e o reconhecimento enquanto produtor de charges para jornais. Por fim, no último momento de nossa investigação é realizada uma análise das competências dos chargistas de jornais, como essas habilidades são desenvolvidas e qual a importância de experiências dentro do universo jornalístico para o desenvolvimento de tais habilidades. Esta dissertação mostrou que a atividade do chargista de jornais é uma forma de atuação em que as competências jornalísticas se mesclam com as habilidades em desenho artístico e em que os critérios de entrada na profissão se baseiam na reconversão de recursos oriundos de inserções no próprio universo jornalístico e de experiências com a produção de desenhos artísticos.

Full textAbstract:
George Grosz's paintings and drawings of Berlin during the Weimar period demonstrate a complex matrix of tensions between nature and the urban experience. In his work, mechanization, sexuality, gender and animality are recurring themes that cue the viewer to the profound anxiety that modernity had unleashed a chaotic force into the city. Using an ecofeminist analysis, I show how the disorder of the city was imagined as a primordial human condition in which a previously disavowed connection to nature was suddenly foregrounded. Though Grosz's renditions of Berlin scenes are ironic, they also revel in the demise of social order. In this thesis, I argue that Grosz's art deploys the conceptual force of unmastered nature as a critical tool, at the same time showing how nature was integrated into the cultural fabric of urban life.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There are vanous definitions of the concept humour, each depending on the perception thereof. Such perceptions are influenced by shared experiences, culture, milieu and individual creativity. Pictorial humour is divided into various sub genres such as the caricature, cartoon and comic strip. Each one of these sub genres portrays an individual process of development, both locally and globally. The work of TO Honiball forms part of this tradition. His artistic personality and sense of humour is unmistakably portrayed in his creative work. Honiball became famous as a political cartoonist and played an important role in the rise of the National Party, seeing that his association with the Nasionale Pers provided him with a forum as opinion-former. It is said that his comic strips Oom Kaspaas, Jakkals en Wolf and Adoons-hulle influenced different age groups and even people who were not Afrikaners. It was however mainly Afrikaans-speaking people who strongly identified with these strips due to the strong Afrikaans character thereof. Various instances own Honniballiana, where it is being preserved and is available for research purposes. A number of marketing initiatives were launched to promote the work of Honiball, mainly by TO Honiball-Promosies. Despite the fact that much of his work is dated, new interest is generated by utilising his work in educational programmes. Honiball's body of work is a source for culture-historical research seeing that it offers references to the tangible and intangible culture of Afrikaans-speaking South Africans during his lifetime.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Etlike definisies bestaan van die begrip humor, afhangend van die persepsie daarvan. Sodanige persepsies word beïnvloed deur onder andere gedeelde ondervindings, kultuur, milieu en individuele kreatiwiteit. Pikturale humor word onderverdeel in verskillende sub-genres, soos die karikatuur, spotprent en strokie. Hierdie sub-genres toon elk 'n afsonderlike ontwikkelingsgang, plaaslik en globaal. Die werk van TO Honiball vorm deel van dié tradisie. Sy kunstenaarspersoonlikheid en humorsin word eweneens onmiskenbaar verbeeld in sy skeppings. Honiball het bekendheid verwerf as politieke spotprenttekenaar en het 'n belangrike rol gespeel in die opgang van die Nasionale Party, omdat sy verbintenis met die Nasionale Pers aan hom 'n forum gebied het om as meningsvormer op te tree. Daar word beweer dat sy strokiesreekse Oom Kaspaas, Jakkals en Wolf en Adoons-hulle verskillende ouderdomsgroepe en selfs mense van ander volksgroepe as die Afrikaner bereik het. As gevolg van die eg- Afrikaansheid daarvan het egter hoofsaaklik Afrikaanssprekendes sterk aanklank daarby gevind. Verskillende instansies is in besit van Honiballiana, waar dit bewaar word en beskikbaar is vir navorsingsdoeleindes. 'n Aantal bemarkingsinisiatiewe is geloods om Honiball se werk te promoveer, hoofsaaklik deur TO Honiball-Promosies. Ten spyte van die feit dat talle voorbeelde van sy werk gedateer is, word nuwe belangstelling gegenereer deur middel van die aanwending van sy werk in opvoedkundige programme. Honiball se oeuvre bied bronne vir kultuurhistoriese navorsing aangesien dit verwysings bied na die geestelike en stoflike kultuur van Afrikaanssprekendes gedurende sy leeftyd.

Full textAbstract:
Plusieurs études de la « couverture » médiatique accordée à la vie personnelle, publique et privée, de Théodore Roosevelt montrent qu’il attira plus d’attention journalistique que nombre de ses successeurs. L’on ne saurait sous-estimer la contribution capitale des caricaturistes, même les plus sévères, à l’inaltérable popularité de Roosevelt pendant quelque trente ans. Il y a lieu de penser que nul autre président ne fut pour eux une source d’inspiration aussi constante et aussi réjouissante. Le but de la présente thèse est de replacer l’émergence de l’image caricaturée de Roosevelt dans le contexte d’une prise de conscience globale du pouvoir de la caricature sur l’opinion publique. L’humour devenant un formidable outil d’opposition ou de propagande lorsqu’il est associé à la politique, il convient d’explorer les caractéristiques de l’humour politique à l’époque de Roosevelt, et notamment en quoi il se distingue d’autres formes de critique du pouvoir en place. Est proposé dans un premier temps une rétrospective historique de la caricature politique en Europe et son émergence aux États-Unis, suivie de l’analyse en détail du « moment décisif », avec le très célèbre Thomas Nast, de l’histoire de la caricature américaine. Vient ensuite une évaluation de l’impact des caricatures sur la carrière politique de Théodore Roosevelt au moyen de plusieurs études de cas, identifiés comme les moments clés, dont la finalité est de vérifier s’il existait une véritable corrélation entre les actions du président et son image médiatique : cow-boy légendaire, homme politique au destin national, héros militaire, chef de l’exécutif controverséSeveral studies of the media coverage of Theodore Roosevelt’s personal, public and private life reveal that he attracted more media attention than many of his successors. The importance of the contribution of even the most caustic cartoonists to his enduring popularity for thirty years should not be underestimated. There are reasons to believe that no other president offered a more constant and delightful source of inspiration. The objective of this dissertation is to contextualize several cartooned images of Roosevelt within the growing awareness of the power of cartoons on public opinion. When combined with politics, humor becomes a tremendous tool for the spreading of official propaganda or of the opposition’s creed. We will therefore assess the characteristics of political humor during Roosevelt’s age and how it is distinct from other types of criticism of the establishment. We will first present a brief history of political cartoons in Europe and their rise in the United States, followed by a detailed assessment of the legacy of the famous cartoonist Thomas Nast, which represents a « defining moment » in the history of American political cartoons. This will be followed by an evaluation of their impact on Theodore Roosevelt’s political career by means of several case studies of decisive moments. The objective will be to determine whether there is a correlation between Roosevelt’s actions and his media image: mythical cowboy, politician with a national destiny, war hero, controversial chief executive

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Many questions have been asked as to why sub-Saharan Africa, and particularly South Africa, has such a high incidence of HIV/AIDS. While social and economic power imbalances between the sexes, coupled by the biological vulnerability of women, play an important role in the rapid spread of South Africa’s HIV/AIDS epidemic, what truly seems to set South Africa apart from the rest of the world is the high incidence of multiple or concurrent sexual relationships. Multiple or concurrent sexual relationships are defined as sexual partnerships that overlap in time, when one partnership starts before another terminates. These types of relationships have the potential to create complex sexual networks – commonly referred to as a “sexual superhighway” – for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, most notably HIV/AIDS. While the practice of multiple or concurrent sexual relationships is to a large extent under-reported by the South African media, a great deal of media attention is given to President Jacob Zuma’s practice of polygamy as a Zulu cultural tradition. The researcher proposes that Zuma’s intimate partnerships stray from the well-defined parameters of cultural polygamy and that he does, in fact, has multiple or concurrent sexual relationships that fall outside the boundaries of polygamy. The researcher further proposes that the example set by the President in his personal life has an effect on the general morality of the South African people and especially on women’s status in society.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Baie vrae is al gevra oor hoekom sub-Sahara Afrika, en spesifiek Suid-Afrika, so ʼn hoë voorkoms van MIV/Vigs het. ʼn Sosiale en ekonomiese magswanbalans tussen mans en vroue, tesame met die verhoogde biologiese kwesbaarheid van vroue vir seksueel-oordraagbare siektes, speel ʼn rol in die vinnige verspreiding van die MIV/Vigs epidemie in Suid-Afrika maar wat ons blykbaar onderskei van die res van die wêreld is die hoë voorkoms van veelvuldige of samelopende seksuele verhoudings. Veelvuldige of samelopende seksuele verhoudings word gedefinieer as verhoudings wat oorvleuel of waar een verhouding begin voordat ʼn vorige verhouding beëindig is. Hierdie tipe verhoudings het die potensiaal om komplekse seksuele netwerke te vorm – algemeen beskryf as “seksuele super-snelweë” – waarbinne seksueel-oordraagbare siektes, insluitende MIV/Vigs, vinnig kan versprei. Terwyl veelvuldige of samelopende seksuele verhoudings min aandag geniet in die Suid-Afrikaanse media, is daar wel ʼn fokus op President Jacob Zuma se uitlewing van sy Zulu-tradisie van poligamie. Die navorser stel egter voor dat Zuma se intieme verhoudings afwyk van die goedge-definieerde riglyne van kulturele poligamie en dat hy in werklikheid eerder veelvuldige of samelopende seksuele verhoudings het wat buite die reëls van poligamie val. Die navorser stel verder voor dat die voorbeeld wat die President in sy persoonlike lewe stel ʼn uitwerking het op die moraliteit van Suid-Afrikaners en veral op die status van vroue in die samelewing.

Thesis (MA (General Linguistics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.According to Nattrass (2007:138), the denial and questioning of the science of HIV/AIDS at government level by, amongst others, Thabo Mbeki (former State President) and Manto Tshabalala-Msimang (former Minister of Health) resulted in an estimated 343 000 preventable AIDS deaths in South Africa by 2007. Such governmental discourse of AIDS denialism has been the target of criticism in the media and by activist groups such as the Treatment Action Campaign. This study investigates the nature of this criticism, specifically considering the critical use of metaphor in visual texts such as the political cartoons of Jonathan Shapiro, who works under the pen name of “Zapiro”. The purpose is to determine whether the nature of the criticism in visual newspaper texts differs from that of corresponding verbal newspaper texts, possibly providing means of criticism not available to the verbal mode alone. A corpus of texts published between August 1999 and December 2007 that topicalise HIV/AIDS was investigated. This includes 119 cartoons by Zapiro, and 91 verbal articles in the weekly newspaper Mail & Guardian. The main theoretical approach used in the analyses is Conceptual Metaphor Theory, developed by Lakoff and Johnson (1981), and its extension to poetic metaphor, developed by Lakoff and Turner (1989). Because of the socio-political nature of the problem of HIV/AIDS, the study also draws on Critical Discourse Analysis, including complementary concepts from Systemic Functional Linguistics. The study reveals that visual and verbal texts make use of similar sets of conventional conceptual metaphors at similar frequencies, which confirms the predictions of Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The study further reveals that the cartoons enrich these metaphors through four specific mechanisms of poetic metaphor, which the verbal articles do not. This indicates a significant difference between the two types of texts. Furthermore, it is found that the use of such poetic metaphors directly contributes to the critical power of the political cartoons. The study indicates that multi-modality in cartoons, which triggers single metaphoric mappings, adds a dimension to the critical function of the text that is absent in the verbal equivalent. The finding that the visual texts enable a form of cognition that is not available to verbal texts, poses one of the most significant avenues for future research. Thus, cartoons apparently achieve a type of criticism that is not found, and may not be possible, in the verbal texts alone. This makes the political cartoon a text type with an important and unique ability to articulate political criticism.

CAPESO estudo busca analisar tiras cômicas na internet, a partir de três autores diferentes: Carlos Ruas, criador do "Um Sábado Qualquer", André Farias, do "Vida de Suporte", e William Leite, autor do "Willtirando". O debate engloba a relação entre quadrinhos e tecnologia, esmiuçando o sentido das tiras. Essa discussão qualitativa é agregada por dados quantitativos, através dos quais o trabalho evidencia possíveis desdobramentos para a linguagem das tiras cômicas online, tais como a tendência de expansão no formato; a crescente hibridação com imagens de variados tipos; e o fenômeno de aproximação entre as esferas autor/leitor no suporte digital. Também foram discutidas produções de um tipo mais incomum: as tiras digitais, que incorporam animação em sua narrativa. Ao fim do estudo, discutimos um protótipo de tira cômica online a partir dos formatos mais utilizados pelos autores, a fim de reiterar a natureza deste gênero discursivo: uma narrativa breve, cujo desfecho é inesperado e resulta no humor.
The study aims to analyze comic strips on the internet, from three different artists: Carlos Ruas, creator of "Um Sábado Qualquer", André Farias, of "Vida de Suporte," and William Leite, author of "Willtirando". The discussion covers the relationship between comics and technology by analyzing the comic strip and the construction of its meaning. The qualitative reflection is aggregated by quantitative data, through which the work shows possible outcomes for the language of the online comic strips, such as the expansion in the format; increased hybridization with various types of images; and the approach phenomenon between the spheres author/reader in digital format. Productions of a most unusual kind also were discussed: the digital comic strips, that incorporate animated effects on its narrative. At the end of the study, we present an online comic strip prototype from the most popular formats used by the authors, in order to reiterate the nature of the comic strips: a brief narrative whose outcome is unexpected and results in humor.

Doutoramento em Sociologia Económica e OrganizaçõesEste estudo enquadra-se no âmbito da sociologia do humor e da sociologia fiscal. Pretende ser uma reflexão crítica sobre as diversas formas de representação humorística da ação governativa, em matéria de fiscalidade. Tem como suporte as teorias do humor e do riso, na tentativa de um maior esclarecimento, através do humor, das relações que se estabelecem entre o Estado, o imposto e a sociedade, com recurso a uma metodologia qualitativa. Partimos do estudo de um conjunto de contributos humorísticos de vários autores, que podem ser considerados como parte integrante do que Mahadev Apte (1988) designou por “humorologia”. Entendemos porém que, neste trabalho, resultante da conjugação de fenómenos humorísticos com fenómenos fiscais, seria oportuno procedermos à criação de um novo conceito que designámos por “humorologia fiscal”. Se os impostos acompanham o indivíduo desde o seu nascimento até à sua morte, o humor ora transgride ora suspende os códigos discursivos sociais, éticos e morais, subvertendo assim, pelo riso e pela ironia, a ordem estabelecida. Neste cruzamento de olhares entre o humor e os impostos, ocupam lugar central a sátira, o riso e a ironia, elementos que integram a cultura, a cultura fiscal, a ética e a confiança (ou desconfiança) entre o “eu” e os “outros”, assim como nas instituições do Estado. Os três pilares fundamentais que estruturam o trabalho empírico desta investigação têm, como denominador comum, a conjugação de elementos humorísticos e fiscais em momentos de incerteza. São eles: as caricaturas de Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, alguns fragmentos do teatro de revista e alguns cartoons de Luís Afonso.
This study fits into the sociology of humor and fiscal sociology. It is intended to be a critical reflection on the various forms of humorous representation of government action in tax matters. It is supported by the theories of humor and laughter, in an attempt to clarify, through humor, the relations that are established between the state, the tax and society, using a qualitative methodology. We start by studying a set of humorous contributions from various authors, which can be considered as an integral part of what Mahadev Apte (1988) called “humorology”. However, we understand that in this work, resulting from the combination of humorous and fiscal phenomena, it would be opportune to create a new concept that we called “fiscal humorology”. If taxes accompany the individual from birth to death, humor sometimes transgresses, sometimes suspends social, ethical, and moral discursive codes, thereby subverting, by laughter and irony, the established order. In this intersection of looks between humor and taxes, satire, laughter and irony occupy a central place, being elements that integrate culture, fiscal culture, ethics and trust (or distrust) between the “I” and the “ others, ”as well as state institutions. The three fundamental pillars that structure the empirical work of this research have as their common denominator the combination of humorous and fiscal elements in moments of uncertainty. They are: the caricatures of Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, some fragments of the “revista” type of theater and some cartoons of Luís Afonso.

CAPESNo presente trabalho serão analisadas representações de feminilidades em dois periódicos distintos: as Melindrosas na revista Para Todos... e a coluna Garotas na revista O Cruzeiro. Os recortes compreendem os anos de 1922 a 1930 para as Melindrosas e de 1938 a 1946 para as Garotas, privilegiando uma sequência entre décadas subsequentes, de modo a entender como as representações de feminilidades se modificaram ou se mantiveram. Interessa também investigar de que maneira o humor e a visualidade contribuíram para normatizar papéis e relações entre gênero, em conjunto com políticas públicas. As revistas visavam trazer a identificação com discursos hierarquizantes, atuando como pedagogia de gênero. Contudo, percebe-se que o humor buscou, nas fissuras das representações, a dupla moral, na qual as mulheres negociavam espaços de atuação e liberdade. Tanto Melindrosas quanto Garotas possuíam táticas de convencimento e de sedução que as levaram a realizar desejos e a conquistar alguns de seus objetivos. Elas questionaram e enfatizaram as contradições e tensões das respectivas décadas. Por vezes, indicavam pretextos para pensar nas mudanças sociais, de comportamentos e no modo como os homens se colocavam neste quadro.
In the present work femininity representations will be analyzed in two separate journals: the Flappers in the magazine Para Todos... and the Garotas column in the magazine O Cruzeiro. The cuts include the period from 1922 to 1930 for the Flappers and 1938-1946 for Garotas, favoring to a sequence of subsequent decades, in order to understand how representations of femininity have changed or remained. We also want to investigate how the mood and visuality contributed to standardize roles and relationships between gender, together with public policy. Magazines aimed to bring identification with hierarchized speeches, acting as gender pedagogy. However, we notice that humor sought in the fissures of the representations, the double standard, in which women were negotiated spaces of action and freedom. Both the Flappers and the Garotas used tactics to convince and seduction that led them to grant wishes and achieve some of their goals. They questioned and emphasized the contradictions and tensions of their respective decades. Sometimes indicated pretexts to think about the social changes of behavior and how men were placed in this board.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude vise à analyser l’image ambiguë de la culture thaïlandaise contemporaine à travers un regard extérieur. En ayant pour but de reconstituer « l’image à partir des images », nous menons une analyse à la croisée de corpus hétérogènes : des photographies et des dessins de presse réalisés par des auteurs occidentaux. Le travail élabore une analyse impliquant les deux démarches complémentaires de la sémiologie et de la sémiotique. Une approche sémiologique, qui sert à étudier les signes visuels (iconiques, plastiques et linguistiques) et leurs traitements symboliques et une approche sémiotique qui est introduite pour dégager les significations, la structure profonde et les isotopies fondamentales. Ces corpus concernent certains aspects culturels comme, par exemple, les nouveaux visages de la religion bouddhiste, la transformation des pratiques traditionnelles, l’influence des cultures étrangères, les nouvelles expressions symboliques. Cette recherche met en évidence la coexistence d’éléments incongrus dans la représentation culturelle, ce qui permet de dégager une image de l’évolution contemporaine de l’identité thaïlandaise, avec ses floues, ses doutes et ses équivoques. Ce regard permet également de voir un pays qui se cherche, oscillant entre tradition et modernité, le bouddhisme et le capitalisme, le spirituel et le matériel, l’identité et l’altérité, l’être et le paraître. La vie sociale et culturelle est présentée ici comme prise dans une dynamique de transformation permanente issue de l’acculturation et de la tendance corrélative au syncrétisme chez les ThaïlandaisThis study aims to analyze the ambiguous image of contemporary Thai culture through different points of view. Our purpose is to establish an interpretation of Thai cultural identity from images. Hence, an analysis has been conducted, based on heterogeneous objects of study: photography and press cartoons created by western authors. Two complementary approaches, which are semiology and semiotics, have been elaborated. A semiological approach is used to study visual signs (iconic, plastic and linguistic) and symbolic expressions whereas a semiotic approach is applied to identify the meanings, the structural analysis and the basic isotopies. The selected images allow us to explore some Thai cultural representations such as new aspects of Buddhism, transformation in traditional practices, influence of foreign cultures, new symbolic expressions... This research also reveals the coexistence of incongruous elements in Thai cultural representation and reflects the image of the contemporary evolution of the Thai identity with its confused, undefinable and ambiguous aspects. Thailand, in the eyes of foreign observers, is a country searching for its identity, oscillating between tradition and modernity, Buddhism and capitalism, spiritual and material, identity and alterity, substance and appearance. Thai social and cultural life is presented as a dynamic in continuous transformation, which is the result of the acculturation in the globalized world and the tendency for syncretism of Thai people

Ingeniero Civil en ComputaciónEl objetivo del trabajo aquí descrito es enfrentar el problema de detección y reconocimiento de personajes animados en la animación japonesa, también llamada animé. La resolución de este problema es importante por varias razones; no sólo pertenece a una familia de problemas difíciles de resolver, sino que solucionarlo significa la construcción de variadas herramientas para problemas reales en la vida diaria de animadores, editores y consumidores de animación japonesa en el mundo. Para resolver el problema, se propone un proceso de solución compuesto por 4 subprocesos que cumplen tareas específicas: la determinación de fotogramas dentro del material animado, la detección de rostros dentro de los fotogramas seleccionados, el diseño y la determinación de características visuales que describan los rostros detectados y, por último, la determinación de medidas de comparación para las características visuales antes calculadas, y la posterior búsqueda de elementos similares dentro de un conjunto de datos. En particular, la etapa de detección de rostros requiere el entrenamiento de un mecanismo de detección, lo que es costoso en términos de extracción de datos y tiempo de procesamiento. Además, la determinación de características visuales resulta difícil debido a la incertidumbre que la caracteriza. En definitiva, el desafío abordado por este proyecto no sólo comprende implementar una solución que logre resolver los problemas planteados anteriormente, pero además lograr generar resultados que puedan competir con las mejores soluciones en la actualidad, ya sea en precisión o performance, y además procurando no descuidar las buenas prácticas de desarrollo como la inclusión de tests o documentación. Para la implementación de la solución se propone un conjunto de scripts en el lenguaje Python, aprovechando la facilidad de desarrollo y las ventajas que provee la biblioteca OpenCV para el análisis y procesamiento de imágenes, videos y de datos relacionados. Finalmente, se definen ciertos experimentos que permiten evaluar la efectividad de la solución propuesta. En esta sección se ve demostrado que el problema no sólo es posible de resolver, sino que varios resultados exceden lo esperado en términos de precisión y performance. En particular, se observa que el mecanismo de detección propuesto alcanza una precisión de más del 80 % a pesar de haber sido entrenado con solamente 800 ejemplos positivos, mientras que la característica diseñada para el reconocimiento alcanza una precisión promedio del 35 % para las consultas elegidas.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we suggest an algorithm for generating cartoons from face images automatically.
The suggested method learns drawing style of an artist and applies this style to the face images
in a database to create cartoons.
The training data consists of a set of face images and corresponding cartoons, drawn by the
same artist. Initially, a set of control points are labeled and indexed to characterize the face in
the training data set for both images and corresponding caricatures. Then, their features are
extracted to model the style of the artist. Finally, a similarity matrix of real face image set and
the input image are constructed. With the help of the similarity matrix, Distance-Weighted
Nearest Neighbor algorithm calculates the exaggeration coefficients which caricaturist would
have designed for the input image in his mind. In caricature generation phase, Moving Least
Squares algorithm is applied to distort the input image based on these coefficients. Caricatures
generated by this approach successfully cover most of the caricaturist&rsquos key characteristics in his drawing.

Previous issue date: 2012-03-15This paper focuses on the production of cartoons run by a political cartoonist Jorge Braga and Mariosan held in Goiânia and served by the newspaper The People in the period between 2008 and 2009 with reference to major events in national and international policy. This research aims to elucidate how the cartoon policy creates multiple points of view regarding the treatment of political issues, the behavior of their representatives, using humor to build a critical discourse and as a means of projecting an ideology. And from this discussion looked at how the cartoons are oriented on the page of the newspaper and the texts that surround relate to her. Through these relationships arise problematization of meaning in the formation of charge and on its configuration as a journalistic genre and pictorial satire, or simply artistic genre. Considering the charge as an iconographic language and an ideological and discursive practice, we sought to identify in its historical function analysis reveals a critical position in a convincing power as mediated by mood and methodological procedure, we use the concepts of discourse analysis and the assumptions theoretical Orlandi (1992; 2009) in his conception of silence as a way to investigate the meanings produced by the political cartoons and substantiate certain claims, questioning the issues surrounding the charge.
O presente trabalho focaliza a produção de charges de cunho político executadas pelos cartunistas Jorge Braga e Mariosan realizadas em Goiânia e veiculadas pelo Jornal O Popular no período compreendido entre 2008 e 2009, tendo como referência os principais acontecimentos ocorridos na política nacional e internacional. O objetivo desta pesquisa visa elucidar como a charge política cria múltiplos pontos de vista a respeito do tratamento das questões políticas, dos comportamentos de seus representantes, utilizando o humor para construir um discurso crítico e como mecanismo de projeção de uma ideologia. E, a partir desta discussão, verificamos como as charges estão orientadas na página do jornal e como os textos que a circundam se relacionam com as mesmas. Através destas relações surgem problematizações sobre a formação do sentido na charge e sobre sua configuração enquanto gênero jornalístico e sátira pictórica ou simplesmente gênero artístico. Considerando a charge como uma linguagem iconográfica e uma prática discursiva e ideológica, procuramos identificar nas análises realizadas a sua função histórica reveladora de um posicionamento crítico de um poder de convencimento mediado pelo humor. Como procedimento metodológico foram adotados os conceitos da Análise de Discurso e os pressupostos teóricos de Orlandi (1992; 2009) em sua concepção sobre o silêncio como uma forma de investigar os sentidos produzidos pelas charges políticas e fundamentar certas afirmações, problematizando as questões em torno da charge.

Previous issue date: 2013-08-27This research aims to analyze how in cartoons designed by Aluísio Azevedo are presented caricatural techniques of scenic arts and elements from Carnival. As the corpus were chosen among several themes that the literary and cartoonist author approaches, four anticlerical images published in the anticlerical and satiric newspaper O Mequetrefe in the year 1877. These images were analysed according to their historical and social contexts as tools to and for contestation. A contestation that at the same time is as much serious as laughable, religious and satirical, aspects which have already allowed in that age the participation of the society to bring some traits that let assume the presence of comicality through the usage of theatrical resources such farce and burlesque, immediately understandable with the purpose to inform and contribute with reflections and changes seen in the posture of the reader audience of the newspaper. This form of analysis, among others, is just one of the study possibilities of this critical object active as entertainment and information. As theoretical background for the review and interpretation, we consulted some authors such as FLUSSER (2008) and his reflections about technical images; MUNIZ SODRÉ (2006) and the sensitive strategies present in the media; the communicative action theory by HABERMAS (1987); the construction of cultural images by MORIN (1984); MARTIN- BARBERO (2002) and the processes of cultural formation through the newspaper and BAKHTIN (2005, 2010), about the carnivalesque elements. In addiction to this we consulted researchers from theatre field, such as PRADO (1999), MEYER (2001), SOUZA (2002), RABETTI (2007) and GUINSBURG (2009). Therefore we summarized to demonstrate how this image assisted in the propagation of an event, according as we realize the idea in relation to the presence of comic is a facilitator quality to the reception of the cartoon. It also acts as an invitation previously accepted and effectively translatable by the reader, educating, informing and serving as a political critic object and still operating as a reflection to possible social changes
A pesquisa procura analisar como em charges de Aluísio Azevedo apresentam-se técnicas caricaturais, das artes cênicas e, ainda, elementos provenientes do carnaval. Como corpus, foram escolhidos, dentre os vários temas que o autor literário e caricaturista ilustrou, quatro imagens anticlericais publicadas no jornal anticlerical e satírico O Mequetrefe no ano de 1877 em seus contextos histórico e social como instrumentos de e para contestação, ao mesmo tempo, séria e risível, religiosa e satírica que já permitia, na época, a participação da sociedade ao trazer em forma de traços que permitem pressupor a presença da comicidade, recursos teatrais da farsa e do burlesco, imediatamente compreensível com o objetivo de informar e contribuir com reflexões e mudanças de postura do público leitor do jornal. Essa forma de análise seria apenas uma das possibilidades de investigação desse objeto crítico de entretenimento e informação, dentre outras. Como base teórica para análise e interpretação, consultamos autores como FLUSSER (2008) e suas reflexões sobre as imagens técnicas; MUNIZ SODRÉ (2006) e as estratégias sensíveis presentes nos meios de comunicação; a teoria da ação comunicativa em HABERMAS (1987); a construção de imagens culturais em MORIN (1984); MARTIN-BARBERO (2002) e os processos de formação da cultura através do jornal e BAKHTIN (2005, 2010), sobre os elementos carnavalizados, além de pesquisadores da área do teatro, tais como PRADO (1999), MEYER (2001), SOUZA (2002), RABETTI (2007) e GUINSBURG (2009). Objetivamos, assim, demonstrar como essa imagem auxiliava na divulgação de um fato, na medida em que entendemos que a ideia em relação à presença do cômico é qualidade facilitadora para a recepção da charge, como um convite previamente aceito e efetivamente traduzível pelo leitor, educando, informando e servindo como objeto crítico político e de reflexão para possíveis mudanças sociais

Esta dissertação analisa a série iconográfica de cartuns e charges sob o título geral de Os Zeróis, do artista gráfico Ziraldo Alves Pinto, entre os anos de 1967 e 1972. Paródia aos super-heróis das histórias em quadrinhos norte-americanas Super-Homem, Batman, Capitão América etc. , Os Zeróis oferecem uma perspectiva crítica aos ideais e aos valores transmitidos por essas personagens. Nesse sentido, situam-se essas personagens, num primeiro momento, por princípio e por método no contexto político-histórico em que foram concebidas Guerra Fria, no contexto internacional, e Ditadura civil-militar, em nível nacional. Com isso, pretende-se perceber as estratégias que Ziraldo utilizou para, num cenário adverso, dada a censura do regime militar, manter-se atuante. Em um momento seguinte, parte-se à análise da trajetória profissional de Ziraldo, sobretudo àquela relacionada com a produção de histórias em quadrinhos nacionais, que teve na revista Pererê (1960-1964) seu ponto alto.This dissertation analyses the iconographic series of cartoons and caricatures under the general title of Os Zéróis by the graphic artist Ziraldo Alves Pinto, between the years 1967 and 1972. As a parody of superheroes from North American comics such as Superman, Batman, Captain America , Os Zérois provides a critical perspective to the ideals and values transmitted by these characters. In this sense, they are located at first, by principle and method, in the historical and political context in which they were designed: the Cold War, as international context, and the civil-military dictatorship, at the national level. With this approach, one intends to understand the strategies used by Ziraldo to remain active even in an adverse scenario considering the censorship of the Military Regime. In the following moment, the analyzis of Ziraldo\'s professional trajectory is started, especially in regard to the production of national comics whose climax was Pererê magazine (1960-1964), reaching the Os Zéróis in 1967 until 1972.

Full textAbstract:
Le Salon caricatural est le compte rendu comique composé de charges d’œuvres d’art exposées au Salon. Les premiers Salons caricaturaux apparaissent au début des années 1840, et c’est sous le Second Empire que ce genre de revue parodique atteint son apogée, obtenant un succès dans la presse satirique illustrée. Sous prétexte de faire rire, cette critique en images met en œuvre un moyen efficace de juger l’art, qui fonctionne en contrepoint de la critique d’art écrite. Les enjeux critiques que propose cette imagerie comique s’inscrivent en fait comme découlant des discussions sur les rapports entre l’image et le texte, ainsi que le révèlent les trois modèles de 1846. Sensibles à l’actualité artistique, les dessinateurs du Salon caricatural jouent souvent un rôle multiple, tantôt celui du railleur inoffensif, tantôt celui du critique sérieux, tantôt encore celui de l’artiste exposant. Dans les revues parodiques se reflètent non seulement la réaction caractéristique du public bourgeois, mais parfois aussi le goût personnel et les jugements esthétiques des dessinateurs eux-mêmes vis-à-vis des œuvres d’art contemporaines. Face à un art en pleine transition durant le Second Empire, le Salon caricatural prend part d’une manière active à la réception de l’art par une formule sarcastique qui traduit à la fois le dégoût pour l’école classique en voie de déclin et le rejet des formes novatrices, notamment Courbet et son réalisme. Cette version drolatique et insolite de l’histoire de l’art fournit aussi une nouvelle perspective à l’histoire de la critique d’artThe Salon caricatural was a comic review consisting of caricatures of art works exposed at the Salon. The first Salons caricaturaux appeared in the early 1840s, and it was under the Second Empire that this type of parodic review reached its height, obtaining success in the illustrated satirical press. Under the pretext of humor, this critique in images provided an efficient method of judging art, working in counterpoint to written art criticism. The critical issues proposed by this comical imagery were in fact the products of debates on the relationship between image and text, as the three 1846 models reveal. Conscious of contemporary artistic currents in art, Salon caricatural cartoonists often played multiple roles; at times inoffensive mocker, at times serious critic, and at times exposing artist. These parodic reviews reflected not only the characteristic reaction of the bourgeois public, but also on occasion the personal tastes and aesthetic judgments of the cartoonists themselves with respect to contemporary works of art. With art in a major period of transition during the Second Empire, the Salon caricatural actively participated in the reception of art through a sarcastic format that translated both the distaste for the declining classical school and the rejection of innovative forms, notably those of Courbet and his realism. This humorous and peculiar version of art history also provides a new perspective to the history of art criticism

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides an analysis of the cartoons produced by Victor Ekpuk for The Daily Times newspaper of Nigeria from 1989 through 1998 and the artist’s use of ancient nsibidi script to “hide in plain sight” his social commentaries on sociopolitical and economic issues in Nigeria. Victor Ekpuk’s original cartoons within the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African Art are examined in the context of indigenous masking practices and other indirect methods employed by indigenous comedians to protect themselves. Moreover, the cartoons’ use of caricature and their nsibidi scripts within are argued to provide a connotative and denotative dichotomy which allowed the artist to work more freely during a period of oppression.

Esta pesquisa busca referências que especifiquem o Humor Gráfico como uma das formas com que se constrói o discurso jornalístico. Desenvolve a questão a partir do uso da imagem pelo homem desde a pré-história, ao definir os sinais e elaborar suas significações O fio condutor do trabalho sustenta que a imagem é detentora de linguagem própria e que cada ser humano possui mecanismos inatos para assimilar seu discurso não-verbal. O trabalho trata em sua parte final da configuração da imagem no mundo contemporâneo como uma linguagem já inserida no meio informativo, porém não reconhecida.This research looks for references that specify the Graphic Humour as one of the ways with which the journalistic discourse is built. The issue is developed from the study of the use of the image since prehistory, when the man making forms into signs and elaborating their significances. The common thread of this work comes when sustaining that the image has its own language and that every human being possesses innate mechanisms to assimilate the no-verbal discourse of the images. At the final part, the work treats of the configuration of the image in the contemporary world as language already inserted in the informative discourse, but not yet recognized.

El objetivo de esta investigación está centrado en conocer las principales características que construyeron el lenguaje visual de El Otorongo, durante el segundo gobierno de Alan García en los años 2006-2011 como herramienta de comunicación y crítica a la realidad del país.
En este sentido, el diseño de esta investigación tiene un carácter descriptivo con un enfoque cualitativo. Los resultados están basados en el análisis de 15 portadas de este suplemento, las mismas que fueron seleccionadas a partir de las entrevistas realizadas a siete caricaturistas de El Otorongo durante el periodo delimitado. Se utilizó una ficha de análisis visual, mediante la cual se identificó que las principales figuras retóricas utilizadas fueron la metáfora y la hipérbole, acompañadas de tipos de humor como la sátira y la parodia. También se determinó la ausencia del zoomorfismo para representar a las figuras del poder y se evidenció el constante uso de herramientas visuales como la exageración de las diferentes personalidades y los rasgos físicos de los personajes representados y el repetitivo uso de elementos representativos de los partidos políticos.
De esta manera se concluyó que, a pesar de la diversidad de estilos artísticos y elementos gráficos utilizados por cada autor, si existió un lenguaje visual definido implícitamente en El Otorongo, basado en el particular tono crítico, burlón y reflexivo; así como la presencia de características repetitivas como la identificación de los personajes o el uso de figuras retóricas que a lo largo de cada publicación permitían al lector decodificar los mensajes expresados por cada autor.The aim for this investigation is focused on studying the main characteristics that constructed the visual language of El Otorongo during the second governance of Alan Garcia during the years 2006-2011; as a communication tool and criticism towards the reality of the country. In that sense, the design from this investigation has a descriptive character with a qualitative insight. The results are based on the analysis of 15 covers from this supplement, the same covers that were chosen from the interviews that were done to seven cartoonists from El Otorongo during the same time period mentioned before. A visual analysis card was used to identify the main literary devices which were the metaphor and hyperbole, accompanied by different types of humor such as satire and parody. It was also determined by the absence of zoomorphism to represent the figures of power and the constant use of visual tools that connote the different personalities, physical features and representative elements from the political parties they belong to. In this way, it was concluded that despite the diversity of the artistic styles and the graphic elements used by each author, a visual language was defined implicitly in El Otorongo, based on a critic, mocking and reflective tone; that is how the presence of repetitive characteristics such as the character identification and rhetoric figures allowed the reader to truly understand the messages expressed by each author.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de la thèse est de mettre au jour les différents modes de représentation du discours autre et de déterminer leur fonctionnement dans la construction du dessin de presse en tant que commentaire de l'événement médiatique. En tant que genre hybride et humoristique, le dessin de presse emprunte ses caractéristiques rhétoriques, thématiques, discursives et formelles à la caricature, au dessin d'humour, à la bande dessinée et au commentaire journalistique. Quant aux différentes formes d'humour dans le dessin, elles sont liées étroitement à la ligne éditoriale du périodique de publication et elles sont censées créer une connivence avec le lecteur. Le cadre théorique repose sur les recherches d'Authier-Revuz. Elle détermine le lien d'un acte d'énonciation avec les différents modes de représentation du discours autre en s'appuyant sur leurs caractéristiques sémiotiques, syntaxiques et sémantiques spécifiques. Également, la représentation du discours autre relève du dialogisme bakhtinien et le lecteur doit parfois faire appel à sa mémoire discursive, sémantique, historique et collective ainsi qu'à l'implicite pour reconnaître certains énoncés comme relevant de la représentation du discours autre. Le cadre théorique ainsi posé est appliqué à un corpus de 150 dessins de presse publiés dans le quotidien Le Monde, dans l'hebdomadaire Courrier international et exposés au Mémorial de Caen entre 2010 et 2014. Les conclusions des analyses sont les suivantes : premièrement, le discours direct, le discours indirect, la modalisation en assertion seconde et la modalisation autonymique d'emprunt sont les modes de représentation du discours autre présents dans le dessin de presse. Deuxièmement, il apparaît que, malgré le repérage systématique des caractéristiques spécifiques de chaque mode, il est parfois impossible de trancher définitivement sur une forme. Seules les connaissances du lecteur peuvent l'inciter à trancher en faveur d'un mode ou d'un autre. Troisièmement, les modes de représentation du discours autre ainsi déterminés participent de la construction d'un commentaire critique, parfois humoristique, de l'événement médiatiqueThe aim of the dissertation is to identify different forms of reported speech and to highlight their importance in the construction of cartoons functioning as news comments in the press. The "cartoon" is a hybrid and humorous genre, which owes its rhetorical, thematic, discursive and formal characteristics to the caricature, the humorous drawing, the comic strip and the press comment. The different types of humor in the cartoon are closely connected to the editorial line of the periodical and are supposed to create a certain complicity between the cartoonist and his reader. The theoretical framework of the dissertation is based on Authier-Revuz's work. She identifies different types of reported speech by their specific semiotic, syntactic and semantic characteristics. Reported speech also falls within dialogism as Bakhtin defined it. Readers need their discursive, semantic, historic and collective memory as well as a certain proficiency in detecting implicit messages in order to understand some occurrences of reported speech. The theoretical framework is put into practice on a corpus of 150 cartoons published in the French daily newspaper Le Monde, in the French weekly review of international press Courrier international or exposed at the "Mémorial de Caen" from 2010 to 2014. One can conclude that firstly, indirect speech, direct speech, "modalisation en assertion seconde" and "modalisation autonymique d'emprunt" are found in the cartoons. Secondly, it can be difficult to attribute a type to an utterance of reported speech even when the analyst systematically checks all utterances for specific characteristics. Only the reader's former knowledge can help him choose one of the forms. Thirdly, the cartoonist uses reported speech to create a critical and sometimes humorous comment on events and their treatment in the media
