Abstract
The paper is dedicated to the analysis of the theoretical component of political cartoon, its essence and concept. Attention is focused on the importance of political cartoons in modern political and legal reality with the rapid development of information systems and technologies. The author notes that the topic of political cartoons in the modern world is relevant and requires comprehensive research. A political cartoon is an important element of state, political and legal processes, since it acts as a vivid expression of public opinion regarding certain important situations in the global and intrastate field. The significance of a political caricature necessitates an in-depth approach to the analysis of the doctrinal foundations of the phenomenon under study, and therefore the paper represents the review of various approaches to understanding the concept and essence of a political caricature. In conclusion, the author notes that despite the widespread prevalence of political cartoons and the presence of a large number of studies on this topic, the problem of the place of political cartoons in the system of the humanities remains significant, as well as the lack of uniformity in the understanding of this phenomenon.
