Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West.

  • Article Cognitive Distortions and Hilarious Implementations of the Principles of Relevance Theory Iché V3
    Cognitive Distortions and Hilarious Implementations of the Principles of Relevance Theory: The Case of Coach in Cheers (NBC, 1982-1985) Virginie Iché, MCF, Université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3, EMMA EA 741 Cognitive distortions can result from two major sources: faulty processing of the physical world (mainly due to perceptual disabilities), or erroneous treatment of the information processed (due to flawed or poor inferential disabilities or to psychopathological disorders impacting the interlocutor’s inferential abilities). Cognitive impairments in otherwise healthy individuals—such as sudden vision loss, comprehension difficulties, language impairment, attention or memory disorders, to name but a few—are cause for worry and medical scrutiny, since they are usually the sign of brain decline, depression or even dementia. Additionally, these distortions impact the way speakers interpret their cognitive environment 1 and result in unconventional behavioral or discursive reactions. Coach, one of the main characters of the first three seasons of the American sitcom Cheers (1982-1985), displays many cognitive misfires over the episodes—all of which take place (almost exclusively) in a bar in Boston, run by a former baseball player named Sam Malone and tended by Ernie Pantusso, nicknamed “Coach” because he used to be a coach. Coach’s cognitive abilities are repeatedly shown to be flawed—he is unable to understand non-literal utterances, has recurrent memory lapses (even concerning his own name) and has a hard time analyzing his environment. The canned laughter that follows Coach’s cues suggests the cognitive impairments he suffers from and the discursive consequences these distortions have on the situation and the dialogue, are nothing to worry about though—they even prove to be one of the sitcom’s comic features.

Watermelons, Tee Shirts and Giorgio Armani: Eight-and-a-Half Epigrams on Italian-American Culture Ron Scapp At the close of the evening in which Bill Clinton was nomi­ nated the Democratic presidential candidate, he entered the con­ vention hall at Madison Square Garden a la JFK and thanked everyone, including "magnificent Mario," for this great moment. Earlier that night, Governor Mario Cuomo of New York State addressed the Democratic Party and all those across America watching the convention coverage on television. In a speech that once again demonstrated his oratorical prowess, Cuomo was transformed (at least for that political moment) from what Clinton had previously identified (in confidence to Ms. Flowers) as a "real Mafia-type" to what Tom Brokaw of NBC News exclaimed was nothing other than the "Italian prince of American politics." This dual-image of the crude, brute-like gangster and the passionate, respected sovereignty highlights an important aspect of the con­ tradictory representations of Italian-American culture while it also repeats a pattern to be found in many racist stereotypes, namely, the binary-imaging of a particular (ethnic) group.

  • The Gospel According to Cliff Clavin
    The Gospel According to Cliff Clavin Epiphany 4 + Luke 4:31-371 + Pastor Petri A Christian Approach to Know-It-Alls You might know Sue Ann Nivens of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, or Cliff Clavin of the sitcom rerun Cheers. If not -if you’re too young- you do know someone like these TV characters—folks who have an answer to everything, and who bless you with unwanted expertise. It’s that one person in your life (outside of Mom) that suggests a better way to remove stains, consistently corrects your grammar, and blurts out the punchline that ruins your story. These people are “know-it-alls,” and they drive us crazy. But why? In today’s Gospel, even Jesus faced such a person. Mind you, the man in his case was more than just a show-off; he was demon possessed. I’m not saying that all wiseguys are demonic. One or two probably aren’t. I am saying a spiritual engine drives our discourse, and when it goes bad, we should ask why, for Satan often uses the unsuspecting in evil ways. He especially feels devilish delight when we blindly look past him and blame his schemes on the Sue Ann Nivens and Cliff Clavins we know. So what is our response to know-it-alls? Let’s turn to our text. [THE LOVE OF POWER (4:31-34)] We find Jesus some time after he was ejected from Nazareth. But if Jesus walked away from his hometown, he did not walk away from preaching. On this Sabbath, in Capernaum, folks were astonished by his teachings, until one man spoiled it.
