Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper undertakes a study of the Indian “So Sorry” political cartoon (politoon) series, drawing on the work of Russian acting theorist Konstantin Stanislavski. The paper aims to illuminate the cartoons through the prism of Stanislavski’s work. The contribution of this paper will be the application of some of Stanislavski’s key principles to the cartoon series. Thus the paper will provide an example of how Stanislavski’s work can be a useful theoretical framework in the field of media studies. For this study, I have chosen cartoons from the “So Sorry” politoons series, the highly popular political cartoons video series on Indian television. The sample of “So Sorry” politoons for this study is the video “Kamal ki Tsunami” (The Tsunami of Lotus Flower), which was screened on 4 June 2019. I interpret this video to further explore Stanislavski’s notions in the creation of cartoons and to understand the cartoonist´s imagination.
