摘要

摘要:在帝国主义的范围内看到滑稽，就是在集体想象中看到帝国本身的修辞力量。这篇文章通过漫画的视角来探讨帝国的问题。更具体地说，它把漫画塑造成一种对抗帝国主义形象和思想的修辞力量。漫画出版社Nib在2019年出版了一期《帝国》。为了弄清楚漫画中想象力的延伸是如何跨越历史、地理位置和文化环境来表现帝国的——这是一种想象力缺失的机制——我在本期中探索了几部杰出的漫画和社论漫画。从纪念性和集体记忆的污点、历史修正主义和史学嘲笑以及文化统治等主题来看，我认为Nib的“帝国”问题中的漫画将帝国主义重新想象为一种复杂的(即使是简化的)组织缺乏想象力的方式。

Caricature and the Colonization Machine: The Nib's "Empire" Issue as a Comic Stretch of the Imagination

ABSTRACT:To see comicality in the reach of imperialism is to see the rhetorical force of empire itself in collective imaginations. This article approaches matters of empire through the lens of caricature. More specifically, it frames caricature as a rhetorical counterforce to images and ideas of imperialism. Comics publication the Nib put out an "Empire" issue in 2019. In an effort to figure out how a comic stretch of the imagination represents empire across histories, geographic locations, and cultural milieus for what it is—a mechanism of disimagination—I explore several standout comics and editorial cartoons in the issue. Looking at themes of monumentality and the taint of collective memory, historical revisionism and historiographical ridicule, and cultural dominion, I argue that caricature in the Nib's "Empire" issue reimagines imperialism, comically, as a complex (even if reductive) way of organizing a lack of imagination.

期刊介绍： Welcome to the home of Studies in American Humor, the journal of the American Humor Studies Association. Founded by the American Humor Studies Association in 1974 and published continuously since 1982, StAH specializes in humanistic research on humor in America (loosely defined) because the universal human capacity for humor is always expressed within the specific contexts of time, place, and audience that research methods in the humanities strive to address. Such methods now extend well beyond the literary and film analyses that once formed the core of American humor scholarship to a wide range of critical, biographical, historical, theoretical, archival, ethnographic, and digital studies of humor in performance and public life as well as in print and other media. StAH’s expanded editorial board of specialists marks that growth. On behalf of the editorial board, I invite scholars across the humanities to submit their best work on topics in American humor and join us in advancing knowledge in the field.
