Title

Contemporary Satirical Newspaper: “The Flapdoodle”

Creator

Panagiotopoulos, Orfeas
Tourkomani, Eleni

Abstract

Contemporary works or outlets of political satire, are mainly represented by late night TV shows such as “The Colbert Report” rather than a magazine or newspaper. We wanted to bring back to life influential pieces of political satire such as “A Modest Proposal” or “The Animal Farm” and use them as sources of inspiration to critique the state of global politics today. Satire has the functional capacity to illuminate aspects of social reality that are otherwise unnoticed, and this is what we wanted to achieve with this project. Showcase the absurdity that sometimes characterizes the state of global politics.
