This study analyses six political cartoons selected based on their relevance to current Iraqi political issues, specifically the period between 2005 and 2015, from American online newspapers (calgecartooms.com). The selection criteria included the cartoons' satirical elements, visual rhetoric, and their ability to engage with themes such as power dynamics, social issues, and public opinion. It sheds light on how these cartoons can function as mediators of meanings between the cartoonists and the readers. The data is examined using multimodal discourse analysis (MDA), which combines language study with the analysis of other visual elements, like colors, gestures, and images, to understand meaning (O’Halloran et al., 2011). The Visual Social Semiotics framework proposed by Kress and Van Leeuwen is applied for data analysis. According to Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006, p. 1), who built upon Halliday’s functional socio-semiotic theory of language (1975, 1978, 1994, 2004), visual texts serve as resources for encoding interpretations of experience and enacting forms of social interaction. They identify three functions of meaning that act as semiotic modes of communication: representational meaning, interactive meaning, and compositional meaning. Moreover, the study attempts to demonstrate how cartoons portray surrounding circumstances, particularly political events, and examines their role in reflecting the main issues present in our daily lives and their impact on readers' beliefs and attitudes.
The concept of decolonization of trauma has intrigued researchers for years due to its prolonged effect on personal and cultural levels. The process of intellectual decolonization involves defensive survival mechanisms, such as cultural rituals using traditional practices, nostalgic dialogues that idealize memories and recollections, and conversations about identity to navigate postcolonial trauma displacement. Symbolic connections evoke strong emotional responses, bridging the gap between the characters‘ physical dislocation and their imaginary homeland. Cocooning identity represents a space where a multidimensional self emerges—one that holds the victim of trauma, the survivor who endures, and the narrator, who constructs an idealized

We aim to know how the mark operates and how it is interpreted, as a semantic process in which the meaning ranges from description to interpretation, and we studied two hypotheses:

-The significance is not found in the visual sign or in the textual sign of the advertising image, but in the creative event that opens up to the social, cultural, and psychological context, and creates a field of dia
