The terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in January 2015 has shown dramatically, to what extent satire might be perceived as provocation. The broad solidarity with the magazine emphasized, how the fundamental rights of speech and the freedom of ex-pression belong to the most important Western values. Similar to the French satirical magazines Hara-Kiri/Charlie Hebdo their German equivalents Pardon/Titanic explored the limits of humor by crossing them intentionally. Therefore, they put the focus on actually provocative subjects and social taboos. The project aims to analyze these French and German satirical magazines in a comparative historical perspective between 1960/62 and 2017. By means of the question of how the magazines responded to processes of social transformation, conclusions may be drawn about the way social taboos could be redefined. Again, these transformations were closely related to the change of values and attitudes.

2015年1月对法国讽刺杂志《查理周刊》的恐怖袭击戏剧性地表明，讽刺在多大程度上可能被视为挑衅。《杂志》的广泛声援强调了言论和表达自由的基本权利如何属于最重要的西方价值观。与法国讽刺杂志Hara-Kiri/Charlie Hebdo相似，它们的德国同行Pardon/Titanic通过故意跨越幽默的极限来探索幽默的极限。因此，他们把重点放在实际挑衅性的主题和社会禁忌上。该项目旨在从比较历史的角度分析1960/62年至2017年期间的这些法国和德国讽刺杂志。借由杂志如何回应社会转型过程的问题，可以得出关于社会禁忌如何被重新定义的结论。同样，这些转变与价值观和态度的变化密切相关。
