Abstract

Karikature od davnina imaju veliki značaj u društvenom i političkom kontekstu. One služe kao sredstvo kritike, a autori kroz humor ukazuju na nedostatke, korupciju, nepravilnosti, i brojne druge političke probleme. Karikaturisti imaju određenu moć da karikaturama građanima podignu svijest, da im omoguće da lakše razumiju složene političke teme, te da na koncu građane i potaknu na raspravu. Ovaj rad bavi se karikaturama Nika Titanika, a kvantitativnom i kvalitativnom analizom sadržaja, te kratkim, polustrukturiranim interjvuem, nastoji otkriti koje tehnike izražavanja i elemente koristi Nik Titanik, koje karakteristike političara najviše ismijava, i mogu li njegove karikature potencijalno služiti kao alat uključivanja građana. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se Nik Titanik na zanimljiv način služi raznim tehnikama prilikom stvaranja karikatura, te da ismijava fizički izgled političara, ali samo na način na koji će ljudima jasno dati do znanja o njihovim lošim osobinama, odlukama i ponašanju. Zaključak je da karikature imaju veliki potencijal da budu alat za poticanje građana na aktivno sudjelovanje u društvenim i političkim procesima.

Abstract (english)

Cartoons have had a great significance in the social and political context since ancient times. They serve as a tool of criticism, and the authors use humor to point out imperfections, corruption, irregularities, and numerous other political problems. Cartoonists have a certain power to raise citizens awareness with cartoons, to enable them to understand complex political topics more easily and, ultimately, to encourage citizens to debate. This paper deals with Nik Titanik's cartoons and I used quantitive and qualitative content analysis, to try and find out what expression techniques and elements Nik Titanik uses, which characteristics of politicians he ridicules the most, and whether his cartoons can potentially serve as a tool for including citizens in politics. The reserach showed that Nik Titanik uses various techniques in an interesting way when creating cartoons, and that he also mocks the physical appearance of politicians, but only in a way that will make people aware of their bad qualities, decisions and behaviour. The conclusion is that cartoons have a great potential to be the tool for encouraging citizens to actively participate in social and political processes.
