Abstract

Due to the great effect of pictures on our thoughts and decisions, we have noticed how these pictures produced in the form of cartoons affect our viewpoints. This research aims at revealing the structures and important features of political cartoons. Using qualitative measures, this paper is the semiotic analysis of political cartoons published during the election campaign 2018 in Iraq. It tackles the ways cartoons used as communicative tools on internet to produce significant meaning and dominant political themes. Barthes’ semiotic theory has been adopted here which is the first visual semiotic model.
