The Carnivalization of Politics: Quebec Cartoons on Relations with Canada, England and France, 1960-1979
|
| Abstract |
Four Quebec newspaper editorial cartoonists are examined, including Terry Mosher (a.k.a. Aislin) and his depictions of Anglophone reaction to Quebec nationalism between 1976 and 1979. One of the author's objectives is to better understand the framework through which ideas presented in cartoons are filtered to their audience, particularly the metaphors that underlie the frame, message, content, and form of the cartoons. The author argues that the carnivalization of political figures and events, whereby the social structure is mockingly inverted and society's values and taboos are exaggerated until they become ridiculous, is a central metaphor governing Quebec cartoons of this period.
