    The Gorilla in a Tutu Principle Or, Pecan Pie at Minnie and Earl's

    The Gorilla in a Tutu Principle or, Pecan Pie at Minnie and Earl’s Adam-Troy Castro Prior Analog stories set against the backdrop of this very strange period in the history of lunar colonization were "Sunday Night Yams at Minnie and Earl's" (June 2001) and "Gunfight at Farside" (April 2009). Many years ago—and when a man as old as I am uses the phrase, “many years ago,” he means a lifetime—I told Minnie, “I’m an engineer, not a poet.” Minnie was a dear old gal of unfailing honesty, with a central role in what follows. I was in love with her eyes. I don’t mean this in a sexual way. The difference between our ages, and certainly our backgrounds, would have made that grotesque. But her eyes were rich and deep, and filled with an understanding of life’s greatest mysteries, that made them a perfect place to lose yourself when she was pointing out how silly you are. I haven’t seen her or her husband Earl in decades, but I can picture those eyes like it was yesterday. When I told her I wasn’t a poet, she said, “How dare you. It’s okay to operate under a poetry deficit, but to imply that deficit for an entire profession is dishonest. I’ve known more than my share of engineers, and any number of poets among them. Great engineering is poetry.” I suppose she was right. She was, in most things. Regardless, I can speak for myself. I’m not a poet, not even in the sense that sweet lady meant.

    Grumpy Old Humorist Tells All: Three Short Essays on Writing, Plus Random Thoughts on Same by Ed Mcclanahan

    224 Ed McClanahan Grumpy Old Humorist Tells All: Three Short Essays On Writing, Plus Random Thoughts on Same by Ed McClanahan —“I can read readin’, but I can’t read writin’. The reason I can’t read writin’ is, it’s wrote too close to the paper.” —Clem Kadiddlehpopper When book reviewers deign to notice that I exist at all, they tend to refer to me as (among other lower life forms) a “humorist.” I’m always flattered, of course, to be nominated for the post, but I’m afraid I must politely decline to run, on the grounds that it would entail too much responsibility, trying to be funny all the time. The fact is, at my age, being funny ain’t really all that easy—or, to put it another way, being my age ain’t really all that funny . or, for that matter, all that easy either. We’ve all heard it said—usually of some poor, befuddled old bird like me—that “he’s taken leave of his senses.” What actually happens, though, is that our senses often pre- empt us to the punch, and take their own leave almost before we suspect they’re even contemplating a separation, much less a divorce. Corrective measures may, of course, sometimes be taken; cataract surgery is a wonder and a marvel, and I suppose there’s probably one of those “almost invisible” hearing aids circling my head at this very mo- ment, looking for an ear to build its unsightly nest in. My sense of smell has long since abandoned me (an impairment which, having its own occasional compensations, doesn’t even qualify me for disability assistance); and when it left, it took with it a disheartening measure of my sense of taste—so that, at dinnertime, I sit there grieving silently while everyone else is saying grace.

    Comic Vision and Comic Elements of the 18 Century Novel Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe

    Pamukkale Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Sayı 25/1,2016, Sayfa 230-238 COMIC VISION AND COMIC ELEMENTS OF THE 18TH CENTURY NOVEL MOLL FLANDERS BY DANIEL DEFOE Gülten SİLİNDİR∗ Abstract “It is hard to think about the art of fiction without thinking about the art of comedy, for the two have always gone together, hand in hand” says Malcolm Bradbury, because the comedy is the mode one cannot avoid in a novel. Bradbury asserts “the birth of the long prose tale was, then the birth of new vision of the human comedy and from that time it seems prose stories and comedy have never been far apart” (Bradbury, 1995: 2). The time when the novel prospers is the time of the development of the comic vision. The comic novelist Iris Murdoch in an interview in 1964 states that “in a play it is possible to limit one’s scope to pure tragedy or pure comedy, but the novel is almost inevitably an inclusive genre and breaks out of such limitations. Can one think of any great novel which is without comedy? I can’t.” According to Murdoch, the novel is the most ideal genre to adapt itself to tragicomedy. Moll Flanders is not a pure tragedy or pure comedy. On the one hand, it conveys a tragic and realistic view of life; on the other hand, tragic situations are recounted in a satirical way. Moll’s struggles to live, her subsequent marriages, her crimes for money are all expressed through parody. The aim of this study is to analyze 18th century social life, the comic scenes and especially the satire in the novel by describing the novel’s techniques of humor.

    Conferencia sobre comedia cinematográfica y propaganda de guerra durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial Universidad del Sagrado Corazón Biblioteca Madre María Teresa Guevara Jueves 22 de julio de 2021 Carlos M. González Morales Objetivo de esta presentación En este coloquio intentaremos acercarnos a las características generales presentes en las producciones cinematográficas hollywoodenses del género de la comedia y que cubrieron una temática alusiva a la Segunda Guerra Mundial en momentos en que ocurría dicho conflicto. Esta presentación no procura decir la última palabra sobre este asunto. Por el contrario, pretende que otras personas se interesen en esta materia y continúen indagando sobre este y otros temas similares. ¿Qué es “propaganda”? La propaganda es la persuasión masiva de la población para encaminarla a la ejecución de un comportamiento convincente y entusiasta con una finalidad política. La misma utiliza una combinación de métodos disuasivos de comunicación que sirven de control social y modo de legitimación de dicho comportamiento. Hollywood y la Segunda Guerra Mundial El impacto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial trastocó todos los aspectos políticos, económicos, religiosos y sociales del pueblo estadounidense. La industria cinematográfica, en su afán de colaborar, puso a disposición de la causa, una considerable cantidad de recursos para generar producciones que contribuyeran a exponer muchos de los aspectos del conflicto bélico. Estas, obraban un efecto positivamente estimulante y moralizante que servía, tanto de entretenimiento, como de propaganda. Cine dramático sobre la guerra Luminarias del cine dramático como Joan Crawford, Anna Lee, Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Ann Sheridan, Clark Gable, Edward G. Robinson, Ray Milland, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Henry Fonda, John Wayne y Ronald Reagan, entre muchos otros, estuvieron en la mejor disposición de estelarizar dramas y filmes de acción con contenidos relativos al conflicto armado y a los infortunios internacionales que al momento se desarrollaban.
