“…Research in linguistics has examined various themes. Bouko et al (2017) identified various thematic categories of cartoons, such as the pen fighting the sword, freedom of speech, and the journalist as a hero. The use of the hashtag #jesuisCharlie has been studied along with other frequent hashtags, such as #CharlieHebdo.…”

The Twitter discussion with the hashtag #jesuisCharlie was a large-scale social media event commenting on the tragic terrorist attack that took place in Paris in 2015. In this paper, we analyze French tweets compiled with language technology methods from a large dataset. Our qualitative approach determines what types of affectivity are expressed. According to our results, first, core emotions are shared, and they are based on the identification with the internet meme je suis Charlie (I am Charlie). In them, participants show their commitment to democratic values and freedom of speech, as well as grief. They build up a we-agency and togetherness between the networked participants. Second, participants disalign from those who do not share the same values or who are a threat to them. Here, the emotions range from irritation and doubt to anger and disgrace, manifesting awayness. They contain protest against how democratic values are violated.

“…Due to the artistic techniques employed in creating cartoons, comic strips, and caricatures, they are classified as forms of modern art (Ulubeyli et al, 2015). Cartoons and caricatures have been always linked to the current events and scenes both locally and internationally (Al-Momani, Badarneh, & Migdadi, 2016;Bouko et al, 2017;Moloney, Holtz, & Wagner, 2013;Ulubeyli et al, 2015). Editorial cartoons also play a vital role through the artistic depiction of the current events or, as Greenberg (2002) puts it "the construction of social problems" (p. 182), or "the making of social representation" (Moloney et al, 2013).…”

“…Cartoonists are artists whose unique drawings imply either direct or indirect criticism directed towards political and social issues. They may rely on topoi (see DeSousa & Medhurst, 1982) and cultural memory to reproduce a recent issue in a more persuasive and appealing sense (Werner, 2004;Bouko et al, 2017;Hallett & Hallett, 2013). More interestingly, cartoonists are art historians as they document and report in their cartoons the history of their countries (DeSousa & Midhurst, 1982;Zakaria & Mahamood, 2018).…”

Over the past few decades, the development of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and the distinction between monomodal and multimodal discourse have inspired academics to reinvestigate pictorial and multimodal metaphors. This paper identifies and analyzes pictorial and multimodal metaphors used in the editorial cartoons created by the Saudi cartoonist Abdullah Jaber to depict the impact of smartphones and social media platforms on the life of Saudis from 2011 until 2020. All editorial cartoons analyzed in this study were taken from the cartoonist's accounts on Twitter and Instagram @jabertoon. The analysis shows the prevalence of multimodal verbo-pictorial metaphors over monomodal pictorial ones, which makes it easier for viewers to construe the cartoonist's intended messages. Jaber's work is not meant to entertain or amuse his readers; his cartoons are not supposed to be conveyed as comical works of art. Rather, he utilizes his cartoons to communicate messages and reflect values that users of social media platforms might overlook. His main interest is to highlight the potential consequences that can rise due to social media platforms. Besides, the analysis reveals the negative impact of smartphones and social media platforms on Saudi users, which is consistent with research findings.
