3. Workshop “Caricatures as a Sphere of Communication in the Late- and Post-Ottoman Context”, Istanbul, 25 March 2024
Organized by Dr. Veruschka Wagner (University of Bonn / Bilgi University Istanbul) and Prof. Dr. Anna Kollatz (University of Heidelberg). We believe that caricatures published in journals of different languages and from different parts of the region are a valuable source for gaining insights into different aspects of daily life. We are interested in the meaning of discourses on political, historical, and social questions, and also in national stereotypes and dealing with the “other”.
