Graphic-visual chronicle of current war conflicts: analysis of cartoons in the digital press.

 

This is the title of chapter 79 written by Begoña Yáñez Martínez of the Complutense University of Madrid, which is included in this ebook coordinated by Javier Albar Mansoa called"Innovation and expression: a journey through the arts, visual culture and artificial intelligence in the digital era".

The book is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International(CC BY-NC 4.0) licence and I stumbled across it the other day.

The attached chapter analyses a total of 130 cartoons published in CTXT and Público by four authors: Malagón ( 27), Eneko (40), myself (32) and Pedripol (31).

In the analysis I discovered that Eneko and I had an identical idea for the representation of Netanyahu, a reasonable resemblance. This is something that tends to happen from time to time and I don't think there is a cartoonist who hasn't experienced it.

In the vast majority of cases they are simple and pure coincidences, sometimes due to obvious coincidences and other times the fruit of the most capricious chance, as in this case. On this occasion, mine was published before, on 2 December 2023, and that of my colleague Eneko well after, on 2 February 2024. (I know how annoying it is when it's my turn to be the one who published later, which has also happened to me).
