Publication Type: Poster Abstract: Early in 2006, large sections of the Muslim world were in uproar over the publication of political cartoons in a Danish newspaper that carried damning images of the Prophet Mohammed. The cartoons were deemed insensitive and inflammatory and provoked a violent backlash that resulted in worldwide protest, embassy burnings, and riots that ended in numerous fatalities. Because of their ephemeral nature--rarely outliving that day's printed newspaper--political cartoons often express the base and populist emotions of a given community at a specific moment in time. Often, during uncertain times, such cartoons revert to simplified, negative stereotypes. The Danish cartoons were a simplistic representation of the heightened concerns in the West of the growing militarism of radical Islamic factions. It is little surprise, therefore, that a political cartoon should be the medium by which such offense could be caused. However, this was not the first time that Islamic fundamentalism has been the subject of such populist reductionism. During the 444 days of the Iran hostage crisis, newspapers in the United States regularly ran cartoons that represented Iranian revolutionaries as irrational and bloodthirsty. The cartoons contained ubiquitous demonic portrayals of the Ayatollah Khomeini juxtaposed with the innocence, suffering, and victimization of the hostages. The cartoons gave no consideration to the context or historical forces that drove the revolution. They also gave stark representations of the emasculating effects of the crisis on United States’ global standing. In sum, the cartoons embodied the base hopes, fears, and concerns of the American people during the hostage crisis. This poster will display some of the more visually arresting cartoons published in the Unite States throughout the duration of the crisis. It will offer a representative sample of the cartoons that best illustrates the main themes and sentiments expressed. The poster will also provide textual analysis and historical background to the events depicted in the cartoons. Finally, it will also offer a broader analysis of the nature of political cartoons during uncertain times.
