Türkiye'deki İslamcı mizah dergilerinin ideolojik söylemi: Misvak örneği

This thesis focuses on the ideological discourse of Misvak, one of the most popular Islamist humor magazines in Turkey in the 2000s. By analyzing the magazine's cartoons, the study first attempts to reveal the general characteristics and the function of humor in Misvak. Then it discusses how Islamism is presented as the primary ideological position in the magazine. In order to uncover absences and silences in the discourse, the purpose of the thesis is also to investigate whether there is discursive parallelism between the magazine and the AKP government or not. Finally, within the context of kulturkampf and hegemony debates, the study aims to show how enemy images are constructed in Misvak by analyzing visual texts. Keywords: humor, Islamist humor magazines, hegemony, the AKP, enemy images
