RIDICULOSA, "Quand la peur se dessine avec humour", no. 22 , 2015, pp. pp.51-64Abstract If during the French colonial period in Algeria, the influence of press cartoons on collective representations is difficult to understand – the prints are extremely limited – it’s possible however to analyze the aesthetic bias. The anti-Jewish cartoon any imprint of categorizations in its graphic and rhetorical dimensions, can be seen as a cultural marker of anxiety in a part of the Oran press the late nineteenth century. From a formal point of view, by using drawing ‘‘tools’’ and from a cognitive point of view, turning to the individual, we’ll see how draftsmen through banking institutions stigmatize the ‘‘indigenous’’ while stimulating the fear of / in the other.
