خطاب الصورة في مواجهة جائحة كورونا : الكاريكاتير نموذجا

Abstract EN

Language is no longer the only means of communication in addressing the other, or transferring ideas, and creating impact and influence, but there are other means of discourse that are no less important than language, and the image may be one of these expressive means affecting the communication process.

The expressions of the image, its connotations may be more influential than the connotations of the word.

Because the visual stimuli in the image may reach the recipient before the audio stimuli, hence the clear shift in the media from the written or audio text to the visual text based on viewing, Many traditional media have lost their ability to influence and communicate with the audience of recipients, and the visual image has been able to reduce many meanings and issues into suggestive emoji that many words are unable to capture.

Despite the importance of the image and its ability to influence, the focus was primarily on the culture of the ear, and the extent of the word's ability to influence the recipient, but modern technologies, and tremendous progress in the field of photography, and artworks has added the culture of the image to culture of ear , as a conscious means of directing the discourse and influencing the addressees, dealing with the image is easier than dealing with the word.

The caricature is at the forefront of the visual images that contemporary media focus on, as it represents an independent and conscious discourse that may combine both the linguistic and the non-linguistic.

Intellectual awareness depends on the image and its components, instead of the language and its data, and it depends on the visual image instead of the abstract mental image.

It is a picture rich in its suggestions, symbols and connotations, and its ability to influence Because it combines sarcastic expression, and expressive suggestion.

In this context, the research deals with a group of caricatures that were employed by the painters in the face of the pandemic, and to highlight what they contain of expressions and connotations.
