ABSTRACT Horsman’s essay revisits discussions about the allegedly blasphemous nature of Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad by tracing the history of the journal in the French tradition of comics rather than of political cartoons. By distinguishing the cartoon figure (the petit bonhomme) of the comics from caricatures and portraits, he aims to outline the precise nature of the journal’s sense of humour and its implicit critique of religion.

查理周刊是什么？亵渎、笑声、政治

摘要 Horsman 的文章通过追溯该杂志在法国漫画传统而非政治漫画传统中的历史，重新讨论了有关《查理周刊》的先知穆罕默德漫画涉嫌亵渎性质的讨论。通过将漫画中的卡通人物（小好人）与漫画和肖像区分开来，他旨在勾勒出该杂志幽默感的确切性质及其对宗教的含蓄批判。
