Barker, Benjamin Guy. "Newspaper editorial cartoons : where art, rhetoric and metaphor meet reality." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2016. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3004154/.
Full textAbstract:
Operating as a form of visual news discourse, editorial cartoons hold a unique commentary position within the news agenda. Utilising artistic and rhetorical devices, cartoon illustrators provide supplementary (and sometimes alternate) viewpoints on current news events; their visuals becoming frames for organising social knowledge in addition to capturing the essence of issues or events. By doing so, audiences are presented with “a number of different condensing symbols that suggest the core frame of any issue portrayed” (Gamson and Stuart, 1992, pg. 60). This thesis reflects upon the evolution of editorial cartoons as a genre of socio-political commentary. Scrutinising a corpus of images taken from the 2010 British General Election, the study outlines the aesthetic, communicative and rhetorical features which enhance the form’s position within visual imagery; highlighting their capability in adapting to societal, political or aesthetic change. Drawing upon the works of Lakoff and Johnson (1980), Herrmann (2013) and Ritchie (2013), the thesis also illustrates how a conceptual approach towards editorial cartoon metaphors can amplify the forms’ convergence/divergence with the news agenda of its host publication. Lastly, a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses within a unified case study framework will highlight the capacity of editorial cartoonists to provide autonomous perspectives on evolving news events.

Full textAbstract:
Many people assume that editorial cartoons are easily understood by the bulk of the population. For this reason, editorial cartoons are often used as teaching materials in the classroom. Recent research, however, raises doubts as to the effectiveness of this practice. Investigations by Bedient (1971) and DeSousa & Medhurst (1982) determined that the majority of students (grade 5 through college) could not interpret editorial cartoons. These investigators went on to suggest that a logical next step would be to determine if editorial cartoon literacy can be taught.
The cognitive style of the participants was examined to determine if the different teaching strategies were differentially effective vis-a-vis field dependence and field independence.
Two presentations (treatments) were designed to model methods of reading editorial cartoons. The Whole Cartoon Analysis presented 25 editorial cartoons along with a 100-200 word interpretation of each cartoon. The Parse Analysis Treatment was accomplished in three steps rather than the one for the Whole method. In step one, the whole cartoon is presented with a short gloss of the meaning. In step two all of the cartoon is visually suppressed except for one visual meaning element. This element of the cartoon is discussed and then the next element of the cartoon is added, and so on until the entire cartoon is back on the screen at which point the overall meaning is discussed.
The dependent variable of the investigation was the two-part Editorial Cartoon Interpretation Task. Part A asked each participant to enumerate the symbols in the cartoon and define them as to meaning. Part B asked the participant to write a short thematic interpretation of the cartoon. A two-way Analysis of Variance on the data revealed no significant differences in either the main effects or the interaction.Ed. D.

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:
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.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-27This study aims to identify and analyze referencing as a strategy in building humor in editorial cartoons. The above mentioned objectives were motivated by the observation of political cartoons regarding the mensalão scandal, in which we found the recurrence of referencing in cartoons creation process, thus revealing the writer s communicative purpose and guiding the reader in the construction of meaning. To achieve our purpose, we built up the corpus of this study with eleven cartoons from the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, selected between August and October 2012, about the judgment treated by the media as the biggest corruption case in the Brazilian political history, and we proceeded the analysis based on the referencing studies as those performed, today, in the field of texts studies in an interactional sociocognitive perspective as well as on humor studies. In this investigation, we found out that referencing builds the humorous speech through different modalities of language, allowing the construction of the subject in the cartoon review also influencing the meaning effects promoted by the written media. Moreover, we have observed the mensalão - which is the main topic of the cartoons - and we have found out through the present analysis that the subject is classified and reclassified in the discursive activity, in which the politician image is projected, thereby influencing the opinion of newspaper readers
Objetivamos, neste trabalho, identificar e analisar a referenciação como estratégia na construção do humor em charges jornalísticas. Tais objetivos foram motivados pela observação de charges políticas referentes ao mensalão, nas quais encontramos a recorrência da referenciação na produção da charge, revelando assim, o propósito comunicativo do escritor e orientando o leitor na construção de sentido. Para atingir nosso propósito, constituímos o corpus do trabalho com onze charges do jornal Folha de S. Paulo, selecionadas de agosto a outubro de 2012, acerca do julgamento que foi tratado pela mídia como o maior caso de corrupção da história política brasileira, e procedemos com a análise baseando-nos nos estudos de referenciação tal como realizados, hoje, no campo dos estudos do texto, em uma perspectiva sócio-cognitiva interacional bem como nos estudos do humor. Nesta investigação, verificamos que a referenciação constitui o discurso humorístico por meio de diferentes modalidades da linguagem possibilitando a construção do referente na crítica da charge, e influenciando os efeitos de sentidos promovidos pela mídia escrita. Além disso, observamos o mensalão - que é tema das charges e constatamos que, na análise realizada, o referente é categorizado e recategorizado na atividade discursiva, no qual é projetada a imagem do político, influenciando, assim, a opinião dos leitores do jornal

Previous issue date: 2012-12-10This paper deals with the analysis of the satirical weekly O Polichinelo, published in the city of São Paulo, in 1876. From the study of the publication itself, its editorial staff, the style and the theme of its cartoons, as well as the context of the historical moment, this text seeks the relations between the weekly and that time of great political turmoil in Brazil, and, in particular, the province of São Paulo. In those days in the Second Empire, Abolition and Republican causes gained strength and became manifest through the press. The cartoon illustrated periodicals used the critical mood to spread opinions about these topics. O Polichinello, as an exponent from this press, would not be different. But what was the stance of the journal? What causes it defended? The articles and, in particular, the cartoons contained in its pages, give clues for understanding the intentions and influences behind the weekly and how it manifested in its language.
Esta dissertação trata da análise do semanário satírico ilustrado O Polichinelo, publicado na cidade de São Paulo, em 1876. A partir do estudo da publicação em si, de seu corpo editorial, do traço e da temática de suas charges, bem como a contextualização do momento histórico retratado nelas, este texto busca situar as relações do periódico com o momento de grande agitação política em que vivia o Brasil, e em especial a então província de São Paulo. Naqueles dias do Segundo Reinado, a Abolição e a causa republicana eram movimentos que ganhavam força e se manifestavam através da imprensa. A caricatura e a charge nos periódicos ilustrados utilizavam o humor crítico para destilar suas opiniões a respeito desses temas; com O Polichinello, não seria diferente. Qual seria então o posicionamento do periódico? Que causas ele defendia? Os textos e, em especial, as charges contidas em suas páginas, dão as pistas para a compreensão das intenções e influências por trás do semanário e de como isso se manifestava em sua linguagem.

Previous issue date: 2009-05-29This is a research on post cards reflection as an iconographic source, contemplating its relation with photography and its popularization, interconnecting questions from an era of the multiplied imaging for mass consumption, and at the same time generating a new graphic, editorial and photographic working market, With the advent of the post card and, simultaneously, the emerging of illustrated magazines, as well as other forms of diffusion of printed image, especially the photographic image, it represented a true revolution on history of culture (Kossoy). A support we can consider as an important publicizer of the photographic image, and moreover, one of the democratizer 2 of that image, in the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Further, it increases to the corpus of the reseach by its relation to the city, its representations and repertoires, as well as a vehicle of correspondence, registry of an epoch, of sociais plans, ideologies construction, imageries development. The post card reminds us, thus, of the printed recollection and the industrial period this support is associated with. This reseach intends to analyze post cards while contribution to a special type of memory in our culture ( public and private, a living and current document) and their approachable extensions
Trata-se de uma pesquisa voltada para a reflexão sobre o cartão-postal, enquanto fonte iconográfica, contemplando a sua relação com a fotografia e a sua popularização, interligando questões de uma era da imagem multiplicada para o consumo da massa, vindo a criar um novo mercado de trabalho gráfico, editorial e fotográfico. O advento do cartão-postal e, paralelamente, o surgimento das revistas ilustradas, bem como outras formas de difusão impressa da imagem, em especial da fotográfica representaram uma verdadeira revolução na história da cultura (KOSSOY). Um suporte, que podemos considerar, como um importante divulgador da imagem fotográfica, e ir além, um dos democratizadores 1 dessa imagem, na virada do século XIX para o século XX. Neste sentido a pesquisa se propõe a pensar não somente a criação de um novo mercado, sendo este essencialmente direcionado ao retrato, e que com o advento do cartão-postal possibilitou uma outra opção para os fotógrafos da época, tornando-se muito popular até os anos 30, como também a sua contribuição para um novo conceito e olhar sobre a imagem e o espaço. Além disso, acrescenta-se ao corpus escolhido sua relação com a cidade, suas representações e repertórios, bem como um veículo de correspondência, registro de uma época, de planos sociais, construção de ideologias, formação de imaginários. O cartão-postal nos remete, assim, a memória impressa e ao tempo industrial que este suporte agrega. Pretende-se, desta forma, analisar os cartões-postais, um tipo especial de memória em nossa cultura (pública e privada, um arquivo vivo e circulante) e as suas extensões comunicativas, tomando como orientação teórica formulações sobre os sistemas e os processos comunicativos, os sistemas visuais, mediações, intersemiose, cultura e memória. A bibliografia fundamental provém das seguintes áreas do conhecimento: semiótica da cultura, teoria da comunicação e da informação, meios de comunicação, imagem, tempo e espaço, antropologia cultural, mecanismos da memória e do esquecimento, história da fotografia e do cartão-postal, técnicas de impressão

Whitcher, Gary Frederick. "'More than America': some New Zealand responses to American culture in the mid-twentieth century." Thesis, University of Canterbury. Humanities, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/6304.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on a transformational but disregarded period in New Zealand’s twentieth century history, the era from the arrival of the Marines in 1942 to the arrival of Rock Around the Clock in 1956. It examines one of the chief agents in this metamorphosis: the impact of American culture. During this era the crucial conduits of that culture were movies, music and comics. The aims of my thesis are threefold: to explore how New Zealanders responded to this cultural trinity, determine the key features of their reactions and assess their significance.
The perceived modernity and alterity of Hollywood movies, musical genres such as swing, and the content and presentation of American comics and ‘pulps’, became the sources of heated debate during the midcentury. Many New Zealanders admired what they perceived as the exuberance, variety and style of such American media. They also applauded the willingness of the cultural triptych to appropriate visual, textual and musical forms and styles without respect for the traditional classifications of cultural merit. Such perceived standards were based on the privileged judgements of cultural arbiters drawn from members of New Zealand’s educational and civic elites. Key figures within these elites insisted that American culture was ‘low’, inferior and commodified, threatening the dominance of a sacrosanct, traditional ‘high’culture. Many of them also maintained that these American cultural imports endangered both the traditionally British nature of our cultural heritage, and New Zealand’s distinctively ‘British’ identity.
Many of these complaints enfolded deeper objections to American movies, music and literary forms exemplified by comics and pulps. Significant intellectual and civic figures portrayed these cultural modes as pernicious and malignant, because they were allegedly the product of malignant African-American, Jewish and capitalist sources, which threatened to poison the cultural and social values of New Zealanders, especially the young. In order to justify such attitudes, these influential cultural guardians portrayed the general public as an essentially immature, susceptible, unthinking and puritanical mass. Accordingly, this public, supposedly ignorant of the dangers posed by American culture, required the intervention and protection of members of this elite.
Responses to these potent expressions of American culture provide focal points which both illuminate and reflect wider social, political and ideological controversies within midcentury New Zealand. Not only were these reactions part of a process of comprehension and negotiation of new aesthetic styles and media modes. They also represent an arena of public and intellectual contention whose significance has been neglected or under-valued. New Zealanders’ attitudes towards the new cinematic, literary and musical elements of American culture occurred within a rich and revealing socio-political and ideological context. When we comment on that culture we reveal significant features of our own national and cultural selves.

This study sought to analyse the discourse strategies in the editorials of the Daily Graphic newspaper as texts constructed in an African English as a Second Language (ESL) setting and the editorials of the New York Times of America as texts constructed in an Anglo-American English environment. The objective of the study was to discover the differences and the similarities that exist between the discourse strategies of the editorials of the Daily Graphic newspaper and the editorials of the New York Times. This objective is achieved by analysing five features of text. First, the rhetorical structure of the two editorials were analysed to find out the rhetorical strategies used in composing the editorials. Second, the micro-genre variation between the two editorials was examined. In addition, the thematic development of the two editorials was carried out. Also, the study investigated the rhetorical appeals preferred by the editorials from the two different socio-cultural settings. Finally, as newspaper editorials, the use of attribution was studied to find out how the editorials disclose the sources of their information to make it clear to their readers where they get their information from. The findings of the study revealed some differences and some similarities in the discourse strategies employed by the two editorials. The Daily Graphic as a newspaper published in an ESL setting in Africa exhibited the unique use of some discourse features that reflect the socio-cultural setting different from that of the New York Times as a newspaper published in the socio-cultural environment of Anglo-American English.

Politécnico de Cávado e do Ave. Este projecto, intitulado de “Histórias Sem Interesse”,
resume-se no contínuo desenvolvimento de uma série de cartoons, tanto ao nível ilustrado
como animado, e ao estudo das diferenças metodológicas na sua construção para os dois
media.
As tiras – ou comic strips – e os clips animados resultantes, são inspirados no dia-a-dia de
uma jovem adulta (com apontamentos de carácter autobiográfico) e na subsistência social,
académica e profissional, deparando-se com inúmeros episódios do quotidiano urbano. Estas
histórias assumem um olhar humorístico, ainda que baseadas na experiência pessoal
enquanto autora, assim como na dos restantes intervenientes.
A partir desta premissa, pretendeu-se que a análise da relação entre as versões estática e
animada fosse concretizada através de uma comparação de processos de construção e, numa
segunda fase, entre os métodos e resultados da auto-publicação de ambas, levada a cabo por
meio das plataformas digitais.

A sátira do cartunista e a argumentação fundamentada do editorialista complementam-se na transmissão

A análise do discurso do editorial e do cartune revelou uma grande coincidência na escolha dos
ângulos de tratamento do tema, o Orçamento de Estado para 2013.
Os cartunistas e os editorialistas negam a existência de qualquer articulação entre os dois autores,
mas ficam levantadas muitas questões sobre a aproximação entre cartune e editorial, que ultrapassam
esta dissertação.
Os textos completam-se na crítica e transferem para o espaço público opiniões que contribuem
para a formação da chamada opinião pública. O editorial parte dos factos, argumenta e constrói um texto
cujo objetivo é indicar soluções. O cartune satiriza os mesmos factos, distorce-os, exagera-os e
transforma-os até ao absurdo, num texto incongruente cujo objetivo é apenas fazer humor.The satire of the cartoonist and the reasoned argumentation of the editorial writer complement each other in the spreading of opinion, in two portuguese daily newspapers, Diário de Notícias and Público. The analysis of the discourses of the editorial and of the cartoon revealed a coincidence in the way of handling the topic, the State Budget for 2013. The cartoonists and the editorial writers deny the existence of any link between the two authors, but many questions are raised, about the harmonization between the cartoon and the editorial, that go beyond this dissertation. The texts complete each other in the criticism and pass on to the public their views which contribute to the shaping of the so-called public opinion. The editorial leans on facts, argues and constructs a text with the purpose to point out solutions. The cartoon pokes fun at the same facts, distorts them, exaggerates them and transforms them to the absurd, in an incongruous text whose goal is only to make humor
