    Studying cartoons is an excellent option in your Language and Literature course.

    They are short, yet


    they have so much happening in them on a literal and metaphorical level. That commentary and/or
    critique of society, in addition to the visuals, make them a perfect text type to explore representation,
    a core concept in the course.
    In this particular set of resources, the cartoons of Liza Donnelly, a cartoonist for the New Yorker are
    used. It's a body of work all focusing on the representation of women. You can also find more of her
    cartoons here and here.

    Guiding Conceptual Questions:


    1. How does the representation of women affect the perspective of the reader?
    2. How does the reader’s perspective affect the reading of the author’s representation of
    women?
    Area of Exploration Questions:
    1. How do texts offer insights and challenges?
    2. In what ways is meaning constructed, negotiated, expressed, and interpreted?

    Liz Donnelly Cartoons:


    Donnelly TED Talk:
    Drawing upon humor for change
    As you watch the video, look for answers to the following questions:
    1. What is the traditional image of women that Liza Donnelly wants to challenge? How
    does she show us this tradition? How does she challenge this traditional image in her
    cartoons?
    2. Pause the video on one cartoon that you especially find funny and explain why it makes
    you laugh. Refer to the elements of the table above in your analysis of the cartoons.
    3. Not all of Liza Donnelly's cartoons are humorous. Many are autobiographical. How might
    these cartoons inspire the audience at TEDwomen?
