  • The Case of Arab Spring Political Cartoons
    IJoLLT Vol. 1, No. 1 (September) 2018 eISSN: 2637-0484 The Representation of Visual Language in Non-Verbal Communication: The Case of Arab Spring Political Cartoons SHIFAA MOHAMMED ABDULLAH (corresponding author) Ministry of Education, Salahuddin, Iraq [email protected] TENGKU SEPORA TENGKU MAHADI School of Languages, Literacies and Translation Universiti Sains Malaysia [email protected] GHAYTH K. SHAKER AL-SHAIBANI English Language and Communication Department, UCSI University [email protected] AMBIGAPATHY PANDIAN School of Language Studies & Communication Studies Universiti Malaysia Sarawak [email protected] ABSTRACT Political cartoons constitute a specific genre of visual images. They are pictorial representations or attitudes with different cartoon elements which depict political and social issues, and events of a country, an institution or a party (Sani, Abdullah & Ali, 2014). Visual language as non-verbal communication may or may not be supported by a verbal text (Peñamarin, 1998). This paper sheds light on the themes of 29 selected Arab political cartoons as a sample that is widely spread during the Arab Spring era and its aftermath (Woźniak, 2014). It also looks to identify the cartoon elements used by the cartoonists and to highlight the use of these elements such as colours, symbol, signs and others that connote different meanings. The study revealed that the visual language of Arab Spring cartoons from 2011 to 2013 reflected some common themes that highlight issues such as the image of democracy, the involvement of interfering countries and powers in the events of the Arab Spring, government authorities, military-people relations, the role of media and social media, an account of the stages of the Arab revolutions and issues of women's image in relation to socio-political change and ethical responsibilities for both the cartoonists and the Arab people.

Editor's Note: Even as we go to press, the situation in Sudan continues to be fluid and dangerous. Mass demonstrations brought about the end of the 30-year regime of Sudan's brutal leader Omar al-Bashir. But what comes next for the Sudanese people is not at all certain. This month historian Kim Searcy explains how we got to this point by looking at the long legacy of colonialism in Sudan. Colonial rule, he argues, created rifts in Sudanese society that persist to this day and that continue to shape the political dynamics.

  • The Making and Unmaking of a Revolution: from the Fall of Al-Bashir to the Return of Janjaweed
    The Making and Unmaking of a Revolution: From the Fall of al-Bashir to the Return of Janjaweed By Claudio Butticè After more than 30 years of ruling Sudan, in April 2019 the dictator Omar al-Bashir was finally deposed by the military following an irrepressible explosion of civil unrest. In less than five months of protest following the intolerable austerity politics imposed by al-Bashir’s administration, the Sudanese population found unexpected energy and cohesion in fighting peacefully to obtain a democratic government. As crowds of demonstrators from all across the country converged on the capital to join the civil movement, art flourished, and a renewed sense of freedom gave voice once again to those who found the strength to break their chains. Women, such as the “Nubian Queen” Alaa Salah (dubbed “the woman in white”), have been at the forefront of the demonstrations, and people from all walks of life who have been denied their basic human rights rose to finally end their silence. However, things went south in June when the army refused to hold its promise to guarantee a three- year transition period before a new civilian rule could be established. Although the protest organisers rebuked the military’s decision to scrap the agreement, the Transitional Military Council (TMC) acted with unexpected brutality, killing more than one hundred Sudanese activists during the Khartoum massacre. Today, the situation is extremely tense, with claims that the United Arab Emirates is arming the violent counter-revolution. Furthermore, back-and-forth negotiations after a general strike have brought the whole country to a halt.

  • The View from Here Artists // Public Policy Ceu School of Public Policy Annual Conference June 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 2016 Another Day Lost: 1906 and Counting
    the view from here artists // public policy ceu school of public policy annual conference june 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 2016 Another Day Lost: 1906 and counting... by Syrian artist Issam Kourbaj 1 From Ai Wei Wei to Banksy, we can see art engaging policy and the political sphere. But in an increasingly connected world where cultural production is ever more easily disseminated, how can this engagement be most effective and meaningful? The CEU School of Public Policy’s 2016 annual conference focuses on a series of questions that are not often asked in the world of government or academia. How do artists engage with issues in public policy? How do artistic representations of issues change how they are perceived? Can artists promote wider public engagement in policymaking? How do artists challenge ideas in their societies and to what end? How does humor intersect with politics, censorship, and violence? Focusing on Hungary, India, Mexico, Sudan, and Syria, we are seeking a truly global perspective on issues including democracy, drugs, migration, violence, and censorship. 2 PROGRAM / ART Visit and participate in exhibitions at CEU from June 1-7. Nador u. 11, Body Imaging by Abby Robinson room 002 Precise office hours will be announced soon. Body Imaging, an installation/performance/photography piece, affords a unique collaborative occasion to make photos of all types of bodies, allowing people to display as much/little exhibitionism as they wish in a protected, safe environment. EXAMINATION: Only doctors & photographers examine people’s bodies at distances reserved for lovers. In my performative role as “photo practitioner,” I peer at people’s selected body parts at incredibly close range.
