Interview with Martin Jay on Violence, Fundamentalism and Free Speech
Öz
Right after the horrible attack to French satirical cartoon magazine Charlie Hebdo, I’ve come by with this simple but striking cartoon. At first sight, nothing seems funny about it. Its style is not grotesque. No funny stylization. Rather than a caricature, it reminds one, Frans Masereel’s expressionist woodcut prints. Light and shadow balance is slightly in favor of shadows. And then, there comes the striking punch line coming from ISIS leader, a dark figure, almost entirely seems like a blot. In the context of a bloody campaign, countless massacres and gratification of sacrifice, death and violence, his wish of health seem absurd and surreal. Having this single cartoon as a starting point, I’ve interviewed with Prof. Martin Jay of UC Berkeley, a prominent historian on Critical Theory and a thinker. I’ve asked about violence, fundamentalism and free speech. Today a brief look on the hot debates around these topics is enough to realize the desperateness of the attempts to comprehend. Among all these rumble and dusty air, I do believe that Martin Jay can provide much required composed and calm attitude
