| Abstract | ||||
| This study aims at investigating visual resources and how they communicate meanings and perspectives, and reflect ideologies in political cartoons on the Russia-Ukraine war 2022. It is a non-experimental qualitative research examining a stratified sampling of six caricatures published online by cartoonists of different nationalities. The study adopts Kress and van Leeuwen's (2006) theory of visual grammar; and the analysis is conducted based on the representational, interactive, and compositional metafunctions. Finally, it has been found that multiple visual resources are employed in the investigated political cartoons. They communicate meanings, and reflect the cartoonists' different viewpoints on the Russia-Ukraine war that are transmitted to the viewers. They show persuasive function. Moreover, they present different messages and ideologies. | ||||
