Transgression and Subjectivity

By Teresa Luis

First the definition of Animation and Cartoon from www.artlex.com:

Animation - Giving movement to a thing. Also, making animated cartoons-- films that are also called animations. Types of animation include cel animation, clay animation (also called claymation), and computer animation.

Cartoon - A kind of drawing done to get people thinking, angry, laughing, or otherwise amused, often accompanied by a caption. A cartoon usually has simple lines, uses basic colors, and tells a story in one or a series of pictures called frames or panels.

My research for the topic of Transgression is on Animation/Cartoons. Our children are watching the violence that is being portrayed by many popular caricatures today and it is being carried into our lives today as well. These are characters that the children know and love.
