Description
Summary:This article analyses Franco-British relations through Punch Magazine’s political cartoons dealing with European integration from 1950 to 1992. It consists of three parts. The first focuses on the personalities embodying the relations; the second investigates the cultural references leading readers to decipher implicit meanings to be shared with the cartoonists; finally, the third part examines how the representation of the Franco-British relations in Punch helps convey its perception of the European policy of the United Kingdom. This article argues that the study of the political cartoons in Punch conjures up the production of a visual and symbolic memory of some aspects of British foreign policy.
