  • 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.

  • Volume II, Issue I, Spring 2013
    Volume II, Issue I, Spring 2013 VOICES : on difference A student-led journal focusing on issues of social justice Graduate Social Work Department West Chester University Editors’ Note If you have ever watched a mother bird build her nest, then you know that they do so with great care, deter- mination and perseverance. The mother bird carefully gathers any materials that she may weave together to build a home for her babies, and then she meticulously constructs the nest piece by piece to make it strong and resilient. Although the basic construction of most nests is similar, each bird constructs their nest with creativity - gathering whatever materials they may find, whether they be pieces of yarn, fabric, or even trash. Although each nest serves the same basic purpose, each nest is unique and different. Just as the mother bird builds her nest with great care, determination and perseverance, we, as social work- ers, steadfastly and adamantly work to build up our clients. We also come alongside our clients to assist them in securing safety, to cheer them on as they grow into their strengths, and to help them tap into their resiliency admist difficult life circumstances. Although this aspect of social work and the client-centered relationship is foundational for all of us, each of us possess a unique practice that is influenced by our per- sonal experiences, perspectives and creative touch. We each bring something different to the profession of social work. Our hope is that this journal can provide a forum for sharing our views on social justice.

Spoofs of'50's monster movies, "Nightmare on Elm Street,” and "The Twilight Zone,” will be showcased in this year's episode slated to air on October 29th at 8pm on Fox. In the climactic moments of "Treehouse of Horror VI," Homer accidentally steps into the third dimension while desperately trying to avoid his sisters-in-law, Patty and Selma.

Çalışmanın amacı günümüzde çocuklar için hazırlanmış olan bir çizgi dizinin sadece çocukları değil, yediden yetmişe herkesi kapsadığını göstermek ve farklı düşüncelerin, farklı eleştirilerin ve yapıların izleyicilere yetmiş beş saniye gibi kısa bir sürede dahi olsa empoze edilebileceği düşüncesini ortaya koymaktır. Sonuç olarak, “The Simpsons” isimli çizgi dizinin, içerdiği karakterlerle “biz de sizdeniz” düşüncesini yerleştirmeye çalıştığı, bir yandan da izleyicilerin zihinlerinde üretim ve tüketim dengeleri, kadının toplumdaki yeri ve standardize edilmiş toplum gibi konularda kendi ideolojik düşüncelerini oluşturmak için bir takım simgeleri ve bunlara bağlı yan anlamları kullandığı ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

  • BOOK REVIEWS Federica Colleoni E Francesca Parmeggiani, a Cura Di
    BOOK REVIEWS Federica Colleoni e Francesca Parmeggiani, a cura di. Forme, volti e linguaggi della violenza nella cultura italiana. Lonato del Garda, Brescia: Edibom Edizioni Letterarie, 2012. Pp. 260. Questo volume curato da Federica Colleoni e Francesca Parmeggiani raccoglie sedici saggi, tutti sulla rappresentazione della violenza nel cinema e nella letteratura italiana, eccetto il saggio di Sebastiano Ferrari, incentrato sulla canzone autoriale e sui modi in cui Lucio Dalla, Giorgio Gaber e Fabrizio De André hanno denunciato la violenza politica degli anni Settanta. Le curatrici hanno messo insieme efficacemente saggi che presentano, da una vasta gamma di prospettive, diversi aspetti del macro-argomento della violenza: tensione politica, violenza di genere, trauma, distruzione ambientale e criminalità solo per nominarne alcuni. Il volume propone un itinerario che, sebbene in maniera discontinua e con un’attenzione soprattutto al XX secolo, porta il lettore dal XVI secolo ai giorni nostri. Il primo saggio di Stefano Ciammaroni spiega che nei film neorealisti la violenza fascista viene mostrata in maniera plateale ed esteticamente curata così da ispirare negli spettatori un sentimento antifascista unitario e giustificare la violenza partigiana come necessaria per la salvezza del paese. Il saggio si concentra sul documentario Giorni di gloria (1945) realizzato da Visconti, De Santis, Pagliero e Serandei che, partendo da materiale di repertorio e scene ricostruite realisticamente, “presenta una lettura agiografica delle capacità del movimento partigiano di sopportare il martirio e reagire simultaneamente al nemico con equivalente ferocia” (18). I saggi di Chiara Borroni, Francesco Rosetti e Fabio Benincasa si occupano di cinema degli anni Sessanta e Settanta. Borroni si concentra sul cinema d’autore e sulla rappresentazione dello spazio domestico durante il boom economico.

  • Bart Simpson
    Wink: An Online Journal 1 Paragraph: Beth Smith Instructor: Mary McLaughlin Bart Simpson Bart Simpson may be the unlikeliest of icons, but he is undoubtedly an American idol. One of the youngest inhabitants of Springfield, a town whose entire population seems to have severe jaundice, Bart has a reputation like no other. Not above dropping his pants to showcase his rear-end, Bart is infamous for mouthing off to authority and crank calling local businesses. Those who suffer his antics the most include his father Homer, an employee at a nuclear plant; his teacher and principal, who are accustomed to keeping him after class; and his younger sister Lisa, a child genius who is mostly just annoyed by his misbehavior (Corliss 2,3). His foolishness often lands his neck in the hands of his father or keeps him after school hours to write on the blackboard as discipline. Yet, regardless of how much mischief he gets himself into or how many times he is punished for it, loyal viewers never hold a grudge against him. People everywhere have fallen for the little prankster with the “paper bag-shaped head” (Corliss 1). Sure he is at an advantage being only ten years old, and many people can relate to his character. However, his appeal is not limited to former class clowns or those who enjoy skateboarding; he is loved and admired by all. His ability to evoke laughter is remarkable. I would challenge anyone to watch an episode of “The Simpsons” and not let out a single chuckle. His daily punishment of writing on the blackboard after class once included the phrase, “I am not delightfully saucy” (qtd.
