The Pencil as Weapon: The Graphic Humour response to the Charlie Hebdo Terrorist Attack

Abstract:

This paper analyses the graphic humour response to the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack on January 7, 2015. The paper carries out a semiotic analysis of a series of pieces related to this event collected via the internet. The visual and verbo-visual texts analysed demonstrate condemnation of the terrorist attack and defence of freedom of expression, mostly represented by the image of the pencil as a weapon against terrorism and a symbol of democratic values.
