About
Just like memes today, political cartoons have always relied on a shared understanding of cultural symbols. But how has this visual shorthand developed? We’ll talk about some common characteristics and how they work, and also explore some classic examples (the donkey, the elephant, and Uncle Sam) and their origins. Discussion may include the impact of humor on mis/dis-information.
Free event. Limited seating. Please reserve your spot in advance: HaysHeighe@harford.edu or (443) 412-2539 - Map
