%0 Journal Article %T Spitting Image and Pre-Televisual Political Satire: Graphics and Puppets to Screens %A Kiene Brillenburg %J Image and Narrative : Online Magazine of the Visual Narrative %D 2011 %I Katholieke Universiteit Leuven %X : In this article, I read the satire TV show "Spitting Image" as a virtual archive of eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century graphic satire (John Gillray, George Cruikshank) and nineteenth-century street puppet-theatre (Punch and Judy). Though innovative as satire TV, "Spitting Image" remediated the style of Georgian visual satire as well as the conventions of nineteenth-cenutry puppet theatre. This reading thus counters non-historical analyses of the show that have approached "Spitting Image" as being disconnected from pre-televisual satires. R¨¦sum¨¦ : Cet article propose une lecture du feuilleton t¨¦l¨¦vis¨¦ satirique "Spitting Image" comme une archive virtuelle de deux sources historiques: les dessins satiriques des 18e et 19e si¨¨cles (John Gillray, George Cruikshank) et le th¨¦atre de marionnettes de rue du 19e si¨¨cle (Punch et Judy). "Spitting Image" passe ¨¤ juste titre comme une ¨¦mission tr¨¨s novatrice, mais son format m¨¦rite d'¨ºtre analys¨¦ comme la "re-m¨¦diation" de formes plus anciennes. La pr¨¦sente lecture se propose donc de donner la r¨¦plique aux critiques historiquement non fond¨¦es qui insistent sur la solution de continuit¨¦ entre "Spitting Image" et les formes satiriques ant¨¦rieures ¨¤ l'¨¨re t¨¦l¨¦vis¨¦e. %K satire %K puppetry %K television %K remediation %K intermediality %U http://www.imageandnarrative.be/index.php/imagenarrative/article/view/165
