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.

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.

Information and Humor, tools of the Communist Party and Propaganda. Case study: the Urzica Magazine and Albert Poch with the Bilă series

Informația și umorul, instrumente ale partidului și propagandei comuniste. Studiu de caz revista Urzica și Albert Poch cu seria Bilă

Author(s): Cristina Barbu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 32/2020

Keywords: caricature; Communist propaganda; humor; press; satire;

The issue of official humor used by the Romanian Communist regime, through caricature, as a form of visual propaganda, will be approached from the perspective of the graphic series, Bilă, which appeared for over 5 years in the magazine “Urzica” (April 1977 - November 1982), the main humor magazine in Romania between 1949-1989, inspired by the Soviet magazine “Krokodil”. The stated intention of the magazine was to educate by capturing “mistakes, weaknesses, in their caricatured and satirical aspect - but not detached from reality – and making them public”, therefore to educate, by suggesting appropriate behaviors. Through the symbolic and affective implications, hidden, or at least apparently disguised by the humorous formula, caricatures manifested themselves as a special form of monopoly policy over information and cultural or journalistic messages, using the technique of distortion (exaggerating certain features, emphasizing or, on the contrary, eliminating others), without the need to preserve the appearance of an objective journalistic message. The analysis of this source will be performed, on the one hand by analyzing the cultural context, the symbols, and on the other hand by observing the frequency of the topics approached by the artist, the position inside the magazine, during the 5 years, taking into consideration the artist’s relation with the regime. Beyond the declarative purpose of the magazine and the first reading of the message, this series, by its apparent simplicity, is relevant to how this type of graphics changed its role: the manipulation assumed by publishing in a controlled setting, capturing valid comic situations, beyond the context in which they were created or the presentation of the subjects, which at a deep analysis represented the reality perceived by individuals and not by the regime.

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.

To Be or Not to Be of Art: Ad Reinhardt’s Political Caricature and The Idea of Painting for Oneself

Być albo Nie Być Sztuki: Karykatura Polityczna i Malowanie dla Siebie u Ad Reinhardta

Author(s): Leszek Brogowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 31/2024

Keywords: Ad Reinhardt; sztuka współczena; dezalienacja; sztuka i polityka; malarstwo i ilustracja; sztuka zaangażowana; art contemporain; désaliénation; art et politique; peinture et illustration; art engagé

Autor wielu publikacji nt. Ad Reinhardta, Leszek Brogowski podsumowuje tutaj swoje wcześniejsze badania nad jego sztuką i podejmuje próbę interpretacji jego twórczości traktując nierozłącznie jego czarne malarstwo i jego ilustracje gazetowe, nie tylko te, dość już dobrze znane, które z poczuciem humoru objaśniają arkana sztuki nowoczesnej (seria „How to Look”), ale także ilustracje do rozmaitych artykułów nt. aktualności, które artysta publikował w lewicowej, studenckiej i komunistycznej prasie. Autor nie podąża tropem wielorako utalentowanego artysty, lecz kładzie nacisk na dezalienujący aspekt jego prac, tak od siebie odległych, jak rysunki satyryczne – śmieszne i zjadliwe, ale często bardzo trafne –, oraz czarne malarstwo, radykalne i niezmiennie takie samo. W konkluzjach uderza konstatacja, że oba te aspekty twórczości artysty, a mianowicie jego ilustracje satyryczne odnoszące się do kontekstu społeczno-politycznego i historycznego (w tym także do kontekstu sztuki nowoczesnej), oraz idea malarstwa jako programu działalności malarskiej wychodzącej poza ramy profesjonalnej pracowni i galerii sztuki, która może być uprawiana przez każdego, znalazły interesujący oddźwięk w sztuce kilka dziesięcioleci po sztuce konceptualnej, na którą jego wpływ jest już dzisiaj dobrze udokumentowany. Wnioski zawarte w tym tekście przywracają zatem sensowną ciągłość między pracami Ada Reinhardta i czterema artystami, których drogę próbuje autor w ten sposób objaśnić: Claude’em Rutault, Bernardem Brunonem, Ernestem T. i Laurentem Marissalem. Poświęcona im dokumentacja będzie z powodów technicznych zaprezentowana w Galerii Dokumentu Artystów numeru 32., w czerwcu 2025 roku; będzie to część II galerii poświęconej Ad Reinhardtowi oraz temu, co w dzisiejszej sztuce można nadal uznać za impuls, jaki nadał on dynamice sztuki.

Newspapers as Carriers of the Hungarian and Romanian Early Comics

Az élclapok mint a magyar és a román előképregények hordozói

Author(s): Irma Tímea Császár / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 03/2025

Keywords: caricature; comics history; Hungarian and Romanian comics; press history; the genesis of comics

To explore the history of comics in a given culture, it is necessary to take into account both global and regional variations in the history of comics. As far as regional variations are concerned, the Hungarian and Romanian versions of comics show many similar trends. A comparison of the Hungarian and Romanian studies on comic histories draws attention to the need for a press history study and reveals gaps. In the present study, the author sets out to examine the prequel comics not mentioned in the Romanian comics history literature in a comparative way, with examples from the Hungarian comics literature.

POLITICAL CARICATURE IN THE RÁKOSI PERIOD Tito and the West's depiction

POLITIKAI KARIKATÚRÁK A RÁKOSI-KORSZAKBAN Tito és a nyugat ábrázolása

Author(s): Marianna Madarász / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 1-4/2023

Keywords: Caricature; Political Satire; Propaganda; Ludas Matyi; Tito-Stalin Conflict

Caricature is a form of exaggerated visual representation originating from the Italian word caricare, meaning "to exaggerate," often used to mock political or social figures. In Hungary, political caricature gained prominence in the late 19th century, with the satirical weekly Ludas Matyi becoming a major propaganda tool during the Rákosi era, using humor to reach politically disengaged audiences. This study analyzes Ludas Matyi’s depictions of Tito and the West during the Rákosi period, focusing on how these caricatures reflected changing political narratives and propaganda goals, especially after the Tito-Stalin split.
