  • Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience.

  • Homer Economicus: Using the Simpsons to Teach Economics
    Homer Economicus: Using The Simpsons to Teach Economics Joshua Hall* West Virginia University Getting students to understand the economic way of thinking might be the most difficult aspect of a teaching economist=s job. The counterintuitive nature of economics often makes it difficult to get the average student to think Alike an economist.@ To this end, the need to keep students engaged and interested is essential when teaching economic principles and interdisciplinary approaches to engaging students are becoming increasingly common. For example, Leet and Houser (2003) build an entire principles class around classic films and documentaries while Watts (1999) discusses how literary passages can be used to teach a typical undergraduate course more effectively. I further extend this interdisciplinary approach to economic education by providing examples from the long-running animated television show The Simpsons that can be used to stimulate student discussion and engagement in an introductory course in microeconomics. Using The Simpsons in the classroom The bulk of this paper describes scenes from The Simpsons that illustrate basic economic concepts. While the examples are pretty straightforward, the difficulty in using The Simpsons lies in deciding: where to place the examples into the lecture and the best way to present the scene to the students. _____________________________ * The author gratefully acknowledges the financial support of The Buckeye Institute. One difficult feature of using any popular culture in the classroom, even a show that has been on the air for fifteen seasons and 300-plus episodes, is that students do not all have the same frame of reference, even in the most homogenous of classrooms.

  • The Id, the Ego and the Superego of the Simpsons
    Hugvísindasvið The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson January 2013 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson Kt.: 090285-2119 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2013 Abstract The purpose of this essay is to explore three main characters from the popular television series The Simpsons in regards to Sigmund Freud‟s theories in psychoanalytical analysis. This exploration is done because of great interest by the author and the lack of psychoanalytical analysis found connected to The Simpsons television show. The main aim is to show that these three characters, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson and Ned Flanders, represent Freud‟s three parts of the psyche, the id, the ego and the superego, respectively. Other Freudian terms and ideas are also discussed. Those include: the reality principle, the pleasure principle, anxiety, repression and aggression. For this analysis English translations of Sigmund Freud‟s original texts and other written sources, including psychology textbooks, and a selection of The Simpsons episodes, are used. The character study is split into three chapters, one for each character. The first chapter, which is about Homer Simpson and his controlling id, his oral character, the Oedipus complex and his relationship with his parents, is the longest due to the subchapter on the relationship between him and Marge, the id and the ego. The second chapter is on Marge Simpson, her phobia, anxiety, aggression and repression. In the third and last chapter, Ned Flanders and his superego is studied, mainly through the religious aspect of the character.

  • Los Simpson Versus Trump

SIMPSON El corto titulado “Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office”,1 publicado el 26 de abril de 2017 como parte de la temporada 28 de Los Simpson en el canal Animation Fox en Youtube, cierra con un negro sarcasmo.2 En una serie, en la que por casi tres décadas se han utilizado los matices y las sutilezas indis- pensables para que los episodios, escritos con gran inteligencia por presti- giosos grupos de guionistas irreverentes,3 tengan como característica sobresaliente tres figuras retóricas, la parodia, la ironía y, sobre todo, la sátira, * Directora e investigadora del Centro de Investigaciones sobre América del Norte de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, <[email protected]>. 1 En este artículo utilizaré los títulos de los capítulos y los nombres que se le han dado a los per- sonajes en español en el doblaje para México (donde la serie comenzó a transmitirse en el canal 13 de Imevisión en marzo de 1991, los martes a las 20:30 horas), pero, en su mayoría, las citas textuales de los diálogos se harán en el original en inglés debido a que el doblaje tropicaliza las alusiones y, por tratarse aquí de los partidos y los políticos estadunidenses, es importante que se conserven. En el caso específico de este corto, puesto que no fue exhibido fuera de Estados Unidos y Canadá, y como la wiki en español aún está consignando la temporada 27, el título del mismo se anota en inglés.

  • Nguagee Channge in the Simpsons?
    Inst för språk och litteraturer Engelska Lannguagee Channge in The Simpsons? Matilda Hemmingsson Handledare: Joe Trotta Kandidatupppsats Examinator: VT 2010 Larisa Gustafsson Oldireva 1 Abstract Essay: 15hp Course: EN1C03 Level: C-level Term: Spring 2010 Supervisor: Joe Trotta Examiner: Larisa Gustafsson Oldireva Report nr: Keywords: The Simpsons Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the possibility of distinguishing a language change in one of our times’ most popular sitcoms, The Simpsons, over a period of twenty years, with a specific focus on the family members, Homer, Bart, Marge and Lisa. Theory: A real-time study of the sitcom The Simpsons will show a language change, and the twenty years of the show’s existence will be adequate time to study the potential change. Potential, as languages constantly are changing, hence the expected change in the speech of the family members. Method: A large corpus, of about 400 instances, of expressions and words was drawn from the first season and the 20th season to compare the seasons as well as the speech of the characters of The Simpson family. The Simpsons on DVD was used for the two seasons under study, thus a real- time study of the two seasons was achieved. Results: As it is not permitted to use swear words on National American television, there has been little or no change when it comes to the use of actual foul language. Also, the expected increase of neologisms was not revealed by the investigation; instead my results indicate a decrease in such expressions. However, a greater political profile of the 20th season compared to the first season is conveyed.

The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.
