Laughing at the Dreyfus Affair: Cartoon Antisemitism and the Politics of Ridicule
Hosted By: The Center for Jewish History
The Center for Jewish History presents an evening lecture by Leon Levy Fellow Dr. Andrew Kotick on the Dreyfus Affair, the landmark political and judicial scandal that exposed antisemitism in nineteenth-century France. The talk examines the affair as a media spectacle, exploring how satire, caricature and visual humor shaped public opinion and fueled mass antisemitism. Drawing on illustrated newspapers such as Le Rire, Kotick shows how ridicule became a powerful political weapon in modern mass politics.
