Abstract Seven of Israeli cartoonist Asaf Hanuka’s comic strips from his weekly series The Realist make use montage-like elements by juxtaposing distorted mirror images of scenes. While published over the course of Hanuka’s almost 10-year run and addressing radically different topics, the structure and nature of the seven strips is remarkably similar. Each includes the juxtaposition of contrasting ideas to offer a commentary on a different aspect of the Israeli society. These topics include the historical mistreatment of Jewish immigrants to the country, the country’s policies toward foreign workers, and the economic challenges faced by the middle-class Israelis. While Hanuka’s technique provides an opportunity for considering different attitudes toward the topic, these strips consistently take a stance that places blame on Israelis themselves for either their attitudes or their electoral decisions. The comics serve, therefore, as political commentary which through the juxtaposition of images, encourages societal change.

通过反映阿萨夫·哈努卡的“现实主义者”来批判以色列社会

摘要 以色列漫画家阿萨夫·哈努卡 (Asaf Hanuka) 的每周系列《现实主义者》(The Realist) 中的七幅漫画通过并置扭曲的场景镜像使用了类似蒙太奇的元素。虽然在 Hanuka 近 10 年的运行过程中出版并涉及完全不同的主题,但七个条带的结构和性质非常相似。每个都包括对比想法的并列,以对以色列社会的不同方面进行评论。这些主题包括该国犹太移民的历史虐待、该国对外国工人的政策以及以色列中产阶级面临的经济挑战。虽然 Hanuka 的技巧提供了一个机会来考虑对这个话题的不同态度,这些地带一贯采取的立场是将以色列人的态度或选举决定归咎于他们自己。因此,漫画作为政治评论,通过图像的并置,鼓励社会变革。
