Summary
This PhD study examines i) the ways in which the Nigerian cartoonists employ various textual and non-textual language resources to represent the political actors and ii) how power and oppression are (de)constructed, using multiple discourse strategies. The theoretical-methodological framework of the study draws on (multimodal) discourse approach of Visual Grammar, Visual Social Actors, and Systemic Functional Grammar to explore the non-verbal cues deployed in the cartooning process and to interrogate the linguistic devices used in the cartooning process.
