The sociopolitical discourse against the Turks in German cartoons
Abstract
Positive or negative prejudices have naturally
occurred as a consequence of the relations of many years between Turkish and
German societies. These prejudices are effectually represented through
caricatures, which, with their humorous and satirical content, strikingly
portray some aspects of a person or an event in order to present a brief, puzzling
and concise opinion on them. In this paper, samples of German caricatures,
which were published between 2015-2018 and compiled with archive research, are
classified according to positive and negative prejudices and their notable
qualities based on orientalist point of view are going to be analysed with the
method of interpretation. Besides, German people’s views on Turkish rituals and
traditions are evaluated and the ways in which the Turks are humiliated or
praised are elaborated. It was determined that political discourses were
realized in the cartoons published in this period; Although these cartoons are degrading, cartoons that fall under the
graphic image type have been tried to be transferred by using graphic image
interpretation techniques. Before the
examination, the definition complexity of the signs and images in general terms
were also mentioned. Although the images and signs showed similarities in
places, they were in fact different concepts and they had research areas in the
direction of different sciences. In this context,
the concept of imagology, which is a science that examines images, has been
evaluated in line with different theorists and a new definition has been
developed for this field and the study has been formed as a whole. The obtained image, graphic image and imagology concepts are tried
to be put forward and analyzed by considering the historical background between
two countries.
