There were another three answers that the visual was probably an ad
against smoking, but two of them argued further that the anti-smoking in-
tention was just an intermediate stage, while the main point of the ad was
probably that by smoking, we are polluting the environment. One of the re-
spondents opted for an anti-smoking ad because “the hook pulls the ciga-
rette out of the fish’s mouth, thus preventing it to smoke”.
Interestingly, three students thought that the drawing was a represen-
tation of society in the seventies. One of them commented that “the society
realized that smoking was bad, but has already surrendered to destiny”, the
other one that the drawing “represents people dissatisfied with the system”.
What is even more interesting is the fact that most of the respondents
substantiated their claims not with the maggot on the hook in fish’s mo-
uths, but by the expression on the fish’s “face”. Here are some qualifiers
they used for the expression of the fish’s face in relation to the maggot on
the hook (and further, social situation at large):
- sad expression
- indifferent eyes
- bored and apathetic fish
- bored and indifferent gaze
- dead face
- sad gaze
- angry gaze
- unsatisfied expression
- boredom and discontent
- not in good mood
- reluctant and angry
- without emotions
- sad eyes.
This shifting of the focus from 1) the maggot on the hook to the 2) “fa-
cial expression” of the fish, while 3) keeping in mind the info from the in-
structions that the drawing is from the seventies represents a perfect proof
that the decision about the meaning of the drawing was reached/constru-
cted through enchronic analysis, a concept I will be explaining in much
more detail later in the paper. At this point, just a short quote about what
enchronic analysis is:
