Beyond the image – cartoons as sources to history

Nordic Network for the Arts of Political Cartoon

Welcomes You to Beyond the image – cartoons as sources to history

26-27 March at the Museum of Work, Norrköping

The third conference, Beyond the image - cartoons as sources to history, arranged by the Nordic Network for the Arts of Political Cartoon will illuminate the political cartoons as witnesses of societal changes throughout history.

The cartoonists make their images for an immediate communication with the readers. In order to capture the audience the subject matters have to relate to national as well as global news feeds.

The cartoonists have just a few seconds to capture the reader. Without the accuracy the cartoon has no edge, without the satirical sharpness the audience’s eyes will not be fixed on the image and the moment of connection is gone.

As a result of this close relationship between the cartoonist and the people, cartoons present a clear image of the Zeitgeist of different eras. In the way they are communicating norms and mentalities as well as giving an image of the relationships between the elected and the electors, political cartoons are very accurate witnesses of societal changes.

But there are many aspects to this question. Does the use of stereotypical figures in cartons affect how we interpret different events and persons of different eras? Can the cartoons reflect a true image of norms and mentalities even though stereotypical figures are being used? Or are the symbols used in cartoons changing just the way the society does?
