Description
Summary:National stereotypes are based on the textual and semiotic construction and reproduction of the image of the “other”. Cartoons, thanks to their multimodality, are often used by the printed and the electronic Press for this purpose. The present thesis will examine cartoons of important dates (1955, September riots; 1974, Turkish invasion of Cyprus; 1999, big earthquakes in Turkey and Greece) from the perspective of the construction of the “other” and the creation of national stereotypes, drawing on the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH), Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and van Dijk’s ideological square. Political cartoons were chosen from a corpus of cartoons published in wide circulation newspapers: Ta Nea, To Vima, Kathimerini and Apogevmatini from the Greek press and Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Milliyet, Tercüman and Türkiye from the Turkish press. The aim of the present thesis is to investigate the function of humor in political cartoons as a means of shaping fundamental value contrasts that define the image of the Turk by the Greek press and of the Greek by the Turkish press. It also aims at following how such constructions change according to particular political circumstances.
