A Satire of Two Nations: Exploring Images Of The Japanese In Philippine Political Cartoons by Helen Yu-Rivera
Share this Product
This book utilizes visual satire as a primary tool for discourse analysis, charting the shifting dimensions of Philippines-Japan relations as depicted in Philippine editorial cartoons from 1986 to 1998. The rationale for utilizing editorial cartoons in this study is that visual satires present implicit rather than explicit statements. Editorial cartoons, there, become effective media for criticism where the written language, being more transparent, has failed. The book weaves an exciting narrative of Philippines-Japan relations, revealing the sociohistorical forces at play that affected the dynamics of this relationship. The Filipino's constructed images of the Japanese are also teased out by examining changes in cartooning conventions and editorial policies. Moreover, the work plots the individual styles of Filipino cartoonists in works that specifically allude to the Philippines and Japan, revealing their creativity and innovativeness in drawing from their own cultural cache.
