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. -

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
LOS SIMPSON VERSUS TRUMP Graciela Martínez-Zalce Sánchez* Para GAH, quien no conocía a los Simpson y cree conocer a Trump And that is how I became a Democrat HOMERO J. 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. -
