Perception of imaginaries and caricature in the Colombian context: a proposal for analysis in the field of the post-pandemic Percepción de imaginarios y caricatura en el contexto colombiano: una propuesta de análisis en el ámbito de la postpandemia

Abstract

This article presents the results of the analysis of citizen perception of imaginaries and caricatures carried out in the Colombian context, based on a research project that seeks to understand social imaginaries in the context of the post-pandemic.  In this process, the aim is to discuss caricature as a journalistic genre of opinion where the use of its format allows us to understand and make visible the events of citizens at a given time and place.  This research is qualitative in nature and aims to generate a perception analysis based on the use of surveys and interviews with citizens of the department of Quindío. The aim is to review the journalistic use of caricature as an opinion format and analyze the imaginaries that were created in a specific period of time, within the framework of the post-pandemic.  Finally, an analysis of results is presented that opens the debate on the journalistic study of the editorial cartoon as a journalistic genre of opinion that narrates facts and news in a specific social context.
