The Communist Manifesto Illustrated via Cartoons
The Communist Manifesto illustrated by carttons. This is an homage to the latent subversiveness of cartoons. Though U.S. cartoons are usually thought of as conveyors of capitalist ideologies of consumerism and individualism, Drew observes: “Somehow as an avid childhood fan of cartoons, these ideas were secondary to a more important lesson-that of the ‘trickster’ nature of many characters as they mocked, outwitted and defeated their more powerful adversaries. In the classic cartoon, brute strength and heavy artillery are no match for wit and humor, and justice always prevails. For me, it was natural to link my own childhood concept of subversion with an established, more articulate version [Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto]. Mickey running over the globe has new meaning in today’s mediascape, in which Disney controls one of the largest concentrations of media.” (From Youtube description)

About Gawaing-Pilosopo
Gawaing-Pilosopo is an online bulletin board that serves as a public portal where Filipino philosophers and enthusiasts, academics and students alike, can post, inter alia, conferences, workshops, seminars, lectures, conference/journal call for papers, scholarships and fellowships, etc. There is no monetary cost for posting your announcements; however, all submissions will be moderated to ensure quality control and to avoid uneccesarry clutter.
The vision of the site’s creator is to bring together philosophers from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the hope of eventually overcoming the Balkanization among philosophy departments and the North-South divide that contribute to the “crucifixion” of philosophy in the Philippines.
Gawaing-Pilosopo advocates the vision of de-centering institutional and regional priority. If you share this vision, please join the community by using this portal to propagate the value of philosophical inquiry to our colleagues, students, and fellow Filipinos.
