Journal Title: Moment Dergi - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In this article, the changing/ transforming relations between Islam and visual humor will be investigated. The humor magazine publishing tradition in Turkey has had very strong ties with leftist/ socialist politic traditions and this tradition has enlarged by the new instruments like internet humor, stand-ups and even in protests like Gezi Resistance which also awaken Islamic societies’ interest. Starting with 1990s, Islamic humor magazine publishing continued by Cafcaf after 2007 and acquired a new dimension from 2015 on by some new ones such as Hacamat, Püff, Cins etc. In this article, the internal dynamics of Islamic humor magazine tradition is read on the light of relations between İslam and visual humor. Moreover, by searching the volumes of Cafcaf until 2015, the new forms of relation in the Islamic humor magazine publishing that is changed by the transformation of Turkish politics is investigated. According to that, the radicalism of the Islamic humor magazines that emerged in 1990s parallel to the discourse of Political Islam in Turkey has been rasped after the rule of AKP and turned to protect the power by Cafcaf. However the fraction that becomes apparent after 17 December also paved the way for a crack in hegemonic bloc of Islamic humor magazine tradition
