I came across this old Turkish cartoon and wanted to share it with the happy family of Illyria forumers. It's from this book, cover attached. The struggle between "old" and "new" language, in cartoons, could take different forms; it could, for example, manifest itself in the more direct and dramatic struggle for territory based on violence and military might. This relationship was neatly illustrated in a cartoon by Sedad Nuri focusing on Balkan separatism. The cartoon, supposedly set in Albania, showed two men dressed in pseudoethnic garb, one with fez, rifle, and boots, the other in cap, cumberbund, and pointed tassled slippers. The first is a caricature of the Ottoman soldier, the second a caricature of the Albanian "mountaineer" (Figure 7.2). Their dress is an example of typical cartoon usage in which "ethnonational" dress was used to type figures. Each stands as symbol of his respective "nation.'' The Ottoman asks the Albanian: "Which alphabet do you prefer, the Latin or the Arabic?" The mountaineer replies, "Neither one, I prefer my rifle." Attachments:
