“…On a superficial level they serve to amuse in an undemanding way. For example, ‘(newspaper) cartoons are designed to be humorous – a diversion from life’s serious concerns, and since they are presented in a pictorial form, they make small demands on the reader’s attention and intellect’(Dines-Levy and Smith, 1988: 235). In addition, cartoons are frequently used on mainstream greeting cards (see Figure 1).…”

“…One only has to think of Kurt Westergaard’s cartoon depiction of the prophet Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban, which sparked riots throughout many Muslim countries and communities, to realise how contentious this form of visual communication can be (Olesen, 2009). Whatever one thinks of Westergaard’s cartoon, or of political cartoons in general, cartoons, as a visual form of communication in popular culture, have the power to capture in a single image, socially vexing issues which are deeply contentious and/or taboo (Dines-Levy and Smith, 1988).…”

Playing with meaning: using cartoons to disseminate research findings

Cartoons are a ubiquitous form of visual communication. Yet they are often overlooked in methodological debates about dissemination. In this article, the potential of cartoons as a vehicle for processing and transmitting qualitative research findings is explored and some methodological advantages and concerns of using cartoons in this way are outlined. Discussion stems from a small-scale, experimental 'knowledge transfer' project located within a larger qualitative study about higher functioning men and women with dementia who campaign for social change. It concludes that cartooning can bring to life in a playful way serious issues, but as form of visual communication, cartoons are not for everyone, and must therefore be used judiciously to disseminate research findings.

“…Cartoons are a ubiquitous method of visual communication [3]: they are produced on a daily basis, require small demands on the reader's attention and intellect [3,4], and are not time consuming [1]. Furthermore, cartoons are rich in ideas and simple to understand [5].…”

Using Cartoons to Transfer Knowledge Concerning the Principles of Work Disability Prevention Among Stakeholders

et al. 2015

Purpose This study assesses how well two cartoons transfer knowledge of principles of work disability prevention among stakeholders, according to their level of experience. We also document stakeholders' perceptions of the usefulness of the cartoons. Method We performed a descriptive study. Two groups of stakeholders were recruited: (1) experienced (working for more than 2 years in work disability), (2) non-experienced (in training). A self-administered questionnaire with open-ended questions documented stakeholders' understanding of each cartoon box and their perception of the possible usefulness of the cartoons. We transformed qualitative responses into quantitative responses for descriptive purposes. We performed independent t tests to compare the groups' level of understanding, and content analysis for the perception of usefulness. Results Overall, 149 stakeholders (50 experienced and 99 non-experienced) participated and identified 79.4 and 61.4 % of all principles presented in each of the two cartoons respectively. Experienced stakeholders identified more principles compared to non-experienced stakeholders (p = 0.007). Both cartoons were perceived to be useful for knowledge transfer. Conclusions Principles were generally well identified in the cartoons by all participants. Cartoons can be used as an effective tool among stakeholders to achieve a common understanding in order to coordinate their actions.
