States of Gender - In Trabzon in the 1990s from Line to Sign: Hamsi Magazine Case

Çizgiden Göstergeye 1990’li Yillarda Trabzon’da Cinsiyet Halleri: Hamsi Dergisi Örneği

Author(s): Ayşula Kurt / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 91/2017

Keywords: caricature; sign; social structure; gender; Trabzon;

The art of caricature with the sense of humor peculiar to Eastern Black Sea culture is not recent; however, it still reflects the cultural components of the region. When interpreting caricatures as signs, they can be used as data source relevant to social structure. This article is a semiotic analysis on Hamsi magazine, published at the beginning of 1990s. Within the frame of gender-based division of labor, being a woman and man in Eastern Black Sea, where discrimination is internalized with the cultural structure, is interpreted with the side meanings of systems reflected in caricatures in Hamsi Magazine. Besides the representation of the gender in the Magazine, social transformation causing the reflection of the immigration between Trabzon and Sarp Border Crossing in those years in the line is interpreted via caricatures related to the foreign women representation. Thus, the objective of this study is to explain the gender signs represented by the discursive system about the typification and labeling in Eastern Black Sea gender culture. Being a woman, man and foreign woman in the gender-envisioned with the witness of time and space- is analyzed with Ronald Barthes’s semiotic approach indicating that the signification presents itself with certain functions and is being constructed via signs.

A Structural Study on the Image of the Turk in the British Caricatures

A Structural Study on the Image of the Turk in the British Caricatures

Author(s): Evrim Ulusan Öztürkmen / Language(s): English / Issue: 91/2017

Keywords: Turk; line; image; British caricature; structuralism;

The main tool of the caricature is the “line”. The line on its own, the characteristics of the line such as being horizontal, vertical, or diagonal and its figural characteristics such as being circular, curved, diagonal, or zig-zag create different associations and semantic fields in the mind. While the line in the caricature is processed with such tools as color, texture, shadow and perspective, it creates a discourse consisting of verbal and visual patterns. In this research, the following questions were sought to be answered by examining six cartoons published in England in the magazine Punch during World War I: What kind of image of the Turk do the lines in the England caricatures create? What kind of relationship is there between the visual content and the verbal content of the caricature? What are the concepts that make up the positive and negative contents of the images of the Turk?

Elements of Comedy as the Means of Literary Presentation in Autobiography – on Others by Borislav Mihajlović Mihiz

Елементи комике као средство литераризације у Аутобиографији о другима Борислава Михајловића Михиза

Author(s): Vladan Bajčeta / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 161/2017

Keywords: autobiography;memoirs;autofiction;picaresque hero;satire;pastiche;humour;parody;caricature;burlesque;

Starting from the generic categorization of Borislav Mihajlović Mihiz’s legacy work Autobiography – on Others and observing its complex genealogical characteristics, this paper examines one of the basic forms of the defamiliarization of writer’s memories – the use of comic techniques. The author’s personal and professional biography and the political and cultural history of his age add up to an aggregate of various anecdotes and testimonies, which needed a certain cohesive factor for the purpose of the artistic homogenization. Apart from the uniform stylistic presentation and the chronological and thematic classification of the material, the comic techniques serve as a conspicuous method of shaping this material and as the author’s consistent manner of literary presentation.

PICTURES OF ENEMY AND SELF IN YUGOSLAV AND HUNGARIAN CARICATURES (1945–1947)

DEMOKRATÁK ÉS A NYUGAT JUGOSZLÁV ÉS MAGYAR KARIKATÚRÁKON (1945–1947)

Author(s): Ágnes Tamás / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: caricature; propaganda; war criminals; Chetniks and Ustasha; anti-clergy caricature; self-image

The paper deals with the way Hungarian and Yugoslav satirical journals (Jež, Ludas Matyi, Szabad száj, Pesti izé, Új szó, Derű) published between 1945 and 1947 presented war criminals and extreme rightist groups, examined by the method of historical comparison. After the change of regime, extreme right parties appeared as a new enemy, and were presented as such in both leftist and democratic journals. Communists, Bolsheviks were persecuted between the two World Wars and during the World War II, their parties were prohibited, which leads us to examine how they were visually presented after WW II and what kind of (self) image they gave of the workers. The aim of the study is to reveal who was declared guilty by the new communist journals aiming to strengthen their power, and how they conveyed this to the readers.

Absurdity and/or Reality : Grotesque and Tragicomic Realism in Balkan Spy (1983)

Absurdity and/or Reality : Grotesque and Tragicomic Realism in Balkan Spy (1983)

Author(s): Julija Pešić / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: dramatic illusion;grotesque;caricature;irony;tragicomic;effect;

This article explores the forms and functions of grotesque realism in the play Balkan Spy (1983) (Balkanski špijun) by Dušan Kovačević. The analysis is focused on the mechanisms of grotesque that the author uses in order to create a tragicomic version of reality, and on the effects of this aesthetic choice. The analytical approach to the dramatic text shows that Kovačević employs elements of both conventional and modern theatre. In other words, contemporary grotesque realism, caricature, irony, bitter/dry and subversive humour are the most dominant dramaturgical techniques that the author brings in order to create his characters as well as the absurd world caused by political paranoia.

Caricature Stories. Unpublished Documents. First Volume

Приче и Карикатуре. Необјављена Документа. Књига прва

Author(s): Dragomir Ilić / Language(s): Serbian

Keywords: Dragomir Ilić; Triša; Nerandža;caricatures;short stories;

I would be embarrassed if anyone would take this book as a mockery of anything.During our historical events, there were also funny things. Although it is not in our people’s nature, after the wars, events have however made us too serious that we have become too gloomy. We forgot about Triša and Nerandža, and the others. Many will find the title strange: "Unpublished documents”.The idea was given by Captain Triša. Somehow, after the war, one of the Great Powers published its "White" or was that "Blue" book of unpublished war documents."This is nothing," Triša says. I will also write my unpublished documents! And he started talking….For those I am convinced will not be angry, I used real names. For the rest, I'm sorry, I had to use other names, because of the press laws. Perhaps the book would have been more interesting if the other names had not been replaced.However, I believe that almost every reader will recognize both Nerandža and Trifun. May 1929.

Lucian of Samosata’s The Dream or the Cock

Le récit thérianthropique entre philosophie et parodie

Author(s): Franck Colotte / Language(s): French / Issue: 32/2023

Keywords: philosophical dialogue;caricature;reincarnation;anamnesis;dialogue;

Lucian of Samosata’s The Dream or the Cock is a dialogue of the serio ludere, in which the therianthropic tale (between a cobbler who believes that gold brings happiness and a cockerel who has been reincarnated as many characters, including Pythagoras) serves not only as a philosophical demonstration and therapy, but also as a parody of serious subjects such as reincarnation - thus highlighting its epistemological, anthropological and ethical dimensions.
