When Nietzsche famously declared his death toward the end of the 19th century, it seemed possible, even inevitable, that God and religion would die under the rationalist atheist onslaught. That, however, was not to be the case. Religion and “spirituality” have survived the atheist challenge, albeit profoundly changed. Although there are a number of contributing factors, the revival of the religious in the West has occurred partly as a result of the postmodernist collapse of the scientific meta-narratives that made atheism so powerful.

  • Introduction: the Simpsons, Satire, and American Culture
    Notes Introduction: The Simpsons, Satire, and American Culture 1. Robert J. Thompson, Television’s Second Golden Age: From Hill Street Blues to ER (New York: Continuum, 1996), 19. 2. “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” (#7G08) ranked thirtieth for its timeslot the night it premiered and earned Fox a 22 percent share and a 14.5 rating. See “Nielsens,” USA Today, December 20, 1989, 3D, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. 3. “Bart the Genius” (#7G02) ranked forty-eighth for its timeslot and earned Fox a 19 percent share and a 12.7 rating. See “Nielsens,” USA Today, January 17, 1990, 3D, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. 4. Harry F. Waters, “Family Feuds,” Newsweek, April 23, 1990, 58. 5. Although The Simpsons often ranked within the top ten for weekly or monthly Nielsen totals, the show has not ranked high overall: at the end of the 1989–90 season, its first full season on the air, The Simpsons ranked only thirtieth. See “Final Season Ratings,” Electronic Media, April 23, 1990, 36, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. http:// web.lexis-nexis.com/universe. Curiously, the show has never been among the top 25 in the Nielsen seasonal totals. It is no longer the ratings juggernaut it once was, but new episodes of The Simpsons still rank in the Nielsen top 50 among prime-time television shows and often in the top 20 among shows in syndication.

  • Las Cantigas De Santa Maria: Thirteenth-Century Popular Culture
    LAS CANTIGAS DE SANTA MARIA: THIRTEENTH-CENTURY POPULAR CULTURE AND ACTS OF SUBVERSION Jerry Coats Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2016 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Committee Member Robert Upchurch, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of English David Holdeman, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences Victor Prybutok, Vice Provost of the Toulouse Graduate School Coats, Jerry B. “Las Cantigas de Santa Maria”: Thirteenth-century Popular Culture and Acts of Subversion. Doctor of Philosophy (History-European History), August 2016, 273 pp., bibliography, 267 titles. Across medieval Europe, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain traced a lattice web of popular culture. From the lowest peasant to the greatest king and churchmen, the devout walked pathways that created an economy and contributed to a social and political climate of change. Central to this impulse of piety and wanderlust was the veneration of the Virgin Mary. She was, however, not the iconic Mother of the New Testament whose character, actions, and very name are nearly absent from that first-century compilation of texts. As characterized in the words of popular songs and tales, the mariales, she was a robust saint who performed acts of healing that exceeded those miracles of Jesus described in the Bible. Unafraid and authoritative, she confronted demons and provided judgement that reached beyond the understanding and mercy of medieval codes of law. Holding out the promise of protection from physical and spiritual harm, she attracted denizens of admirers who included poets, minstrels, and troubadours like Nigel of Canterbury, John of Garland, Gonzalo de Berceo, and Gautier de Coinci.

  • Smith's Dogmatic Dogma Kevin Smith's Dogma Presents God's
    Smith’s Dogmatic Dogma Kevin Smith’s Dogma presents God’s existence as a fact, suggests that God is kind and patient, and encourages people to have faith. But he criticizes organized religion, especially the Catholic church, very strongly; he also critiques gender, race, and corporate capitalism. His mythology is quite rich. The film is populated with angels, muses, dead apostles, prophets, and so forth. Some of this derives from Christianity, some from western culture more generally, all of it reimagined and repurposed by Smith. For example, he has three “demons” who help Azazel; on the soundtrack, they are accompanied by the sound of flies buzzing, an allusion to Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies. The theological discussions between Bethany and Metatron, Rufus (the 13th apostle), and Serendipity (a muse) are leavened with comic relief, provided by Jay and Silent Bob. Jay, in particular, is a sex-crazed, pot-head, misogynist. He is not a traditional prophet. But this fits Smith’s overall argument, which suggests that organized religion is corrupt and deadens people’s faith. He is particularly critical of (his own) Catholic church. The establishing shot of Bethany’s church, for example, shows the sermon title (“The Labored Voice of God”) and, in a panning shot, shows people in the pews, variously sleeping, listening to music on their headphones, and fighting. The priest then asks people to rise for the “recession of faith” (rather than the “profession of faith”). Bishop Glick retires the crucifix as “depressing” and giving people the “willies,” to be replaced with “Buddy Christ,” a parody of devotional statues of Jesus.
