Using a behavioural approach to analyse the suitability of cartoons as a vehicle for teaching and learning in finance

Abstract

This paper examines the role of using cartoons as a suitable method to assist in the transfer of knowledge within the field of finance. This paper examines this by calling on a dialectical approach to examine the role and interpretation of 'meaning'. Cartoons in and out of the classroom may appear to wield a degree of useful humour, but the underlying and often subtle imagery is as significant as a well-structured historical document. This paper deals with the very nature of the building blocks used in the construction and dissemination of cartoons and the apparatuses that are then used to dissect and analyse the cartoons within their appropriate contextual framework. The field of finance is evolving at a fantastic rate, and the students of finance are constantly challenged to deal with the change in perspectives and understanding that evolve across time. Much of the literature in the field of economics and finance is usually capable of explaining what has happened in the past, but there are few forms of documented literature that can carry contextual information in the same way as that of specific cartoons embodying critical art or satirical caricatures.
