This essay explores political cartoons published in various journals in 1917, and investigates the legacy of that year's graphic satire. As many previous works have noted, the revolutions of 1917 brought struggles for the meaning of signs, and in political cartoons there were marked changes in subject matter and visual vocabulary. While previous studies have interpreted these developments as illustrations of political revolution, this essay, which is based on original research, will argue that the fundamental shift that began in 1917 was towards a kind of visual satirical discourse that possessed performative power. Proposing a new conceptual framework for analysis based on theories of performativity, the theoretical contribution of this essay will be to show how graphic satire reveals the performative force of cartoons, by arguing that Soviet graphic satire's aesthetic invites readers’ critical engagement with contemporary discourses, a vision that derives from the political cartoons of 1917.

1917 年讽刺漫画的遗产

这篇文章探讨了 1917 年在各种期刊上发表的政治漫画，并调查了当年讽刺漫画的遗产。正如许多以前的作品所指出的那样，1917 年的革命带来了对符号意义的斗争，在政治漫画中，主题和视觉词汇发生了显着变化。虽然先前的研究将这些发展解释为政治革命的例证，但这篇基于原创研究的论文将认为，始于 1917 年的根本转变是朝着一种具有表演能力的视觉讽刺话语转变。基于表演性理论提出一个新的分析概念框架，本文的理论贡献将是展示图形讽刺如何揭示漫画的表演力，
