北伐中的漫画与漫画中的北伐

北伐时期的漫画界,约略可分为三大阵营:一是南方国共合作下的北伐主体一方;二是以北洋军阀为首的北伐客体一方;三是置身于南北交锋之外的漫画界。南方阵营的漫画多在宣传反帝、反军阀方面着力,以唤起民众对革命的理解和信心,其形式在向宣传画靠拢;北方阵营以“讨赤”相号召,以蛊惑民众;第三阵营则持相对超然立场,重在表达作者的现实观感。通过漫画,可以折射和透视北伐时期的政治社会情形,漫画作为“史料”应该而且能够运用于史学研究。

Cartoons and the Northern Expedition

In the communities of cartoonists in the time of the Northern Expedition (1926 -1927) , three camps can be distinguished; one with the Southern republic army, one with the Northern warlords and one free from the northern and the southern camps. The Southern camp took the anti-imperialism and anti-warlordism as its major themes to appeal to people's sympathy and confidence in victory. The Northern camp tried to mislead the masses by calling on to put down communism. The third camp took a neutral stand. They focused on the artists' personal sense of reality. Well reflecting the political and social situations of that time, the cartoons can and must be used as data for historical studies.
