Il maiale politico. Variazioni su di una figura d’infamia
Guédron, Martial
2022
Abstract
Animalisation is a process that is very often used in the field of graphic satire. However, this process is quite formidable when the animal of reference has a bad reputation. This is the case of the pig, a polysemous animal, but which, in the West, is generally stigmatised, both because of its behaviour and its physical appearance. Depicting an individual in the guise of a pig is therefore a very strong symbolic degradation that caricaturists have not ceased to use by involving themselves, in their own way, in the religious, social and political struggles of their time.
