Naomi Ramage ENGL 339 – Beckett and Pinter Prof Hale Play Reviews – “Krapp’S Last Tape”
Naomi Ramage ENGL 339 – Beckett and Pinter Prof Hale Play reviews – “Krapp’s Last Tape” Tynan, Kenneth. Rev. of “Krapp’s Last Tape”, by Samuel Beckett. Samuel Beckett: The Critical Heritage. Ed. L. Graaver and R. Federman. London and New York: Routledge, 1979. 2 Nov. 1958: 189-192. Print. In this highly critical review of “Krapp’s Last Tape,” Kenneth Tynan writes a short parody of Beckett’s play entitled “Slamm’s Last Knock.” Tynan’s critiques of the play are scattered throughout this piece and embedded in the narration and dialogue of the fake play, such as on the crumpled pieces of paper that read “Just another dose of nightmare gibberish from the so-called author of ‘Waiting for Godot’” (190). Near the end, the supporting character Seck launches into longer segments of monologue-like dialogue that directly express Tynan’s views, such as “Unique, oblique, bleak experience, in other words, and would have had same effect if half the words were other words. Or any words” (191). Brustein, Robert. Rev. of “Krapp’s Last Tape”, by Samuel Beckett. Samuel Beckett: The Critical Heritage. Ed. L. Graaver and R. Federman. London and New York: Routledge, 1979. 22 Feb. 1960: 192-193. Print. Drama critic and professor Robert Brustein highly praises “Krapp’s Last Tape” as being “very possibly [Beckett’s] best, dramatic poem about the old age of the world” (191). While still focused on such usual subjects of absurd theater as “the alienation, vacuity, and decay of life upon a planet devoid of God and hope,” the critic argues that this work is fresh in its “extraordinary economy of the writing, the absolute flawlessness of the form” (192). -

Face Attack in Italian Politics: Beppe Grillo's Insulting Epithets
1 Face attack in Italian politics: Beppe Grillo’s insulting epithets for other politicians1 ABSTRACT The second largest party in the Italian Parliament, the “5-Star Movement” is led by comedian-turned-politician Beppe Grillo. Grillo is well-known for a distinctive and often inflammatory rhetoric, which includes the regular use of humorous but insulting epithets for other politicians, such as Psiconano (“Psychodwarf”) for Silvio Berlusconi. This paper discusses a selection of epithets used by Grillo on his blog between 2008 and 2015 to refer to Berlusconi and three successive centre-left leaders. We account for the functions of the epithets in terms of Spencer-Oatey’s (2002, 2008) multi- level model of “face” and of Culpeper’s (2011) “entertaining” and “coercive” functions of impoliteness. We suggest that our study has implications for existing models of face and impoliteness and for an understanding of the evolving role of verbal aggression in Italian politics. 1. Introduction In the 2013 Italian general election, just under a quarter of the votes went to Il Movimento Cinque Stelle (The 5-Star Movement, or M5S) – a new political entity which had been founded four years before by comedian- turned-politician Beppe Grillo. One of the distinctive characteristics of Grillo’s language as leader of M5S is the coinage of humorous but insulting epithets for other politicians. Below is an extract from an online ‘political communiqué’ written by Grillo shortly after the 2008 general election: I partiti erano uno e bino, psiconano e Topo Gigio. PDL e PD-meno- elle […].(Grillo, n.d., Communiqué number 13) “The parties were one and two-in-one, psychodwarf and Gigio Mouse. -

An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
"I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season. -

Samuel Beckett's Plays: a Psychoanalysis
International Journal of Linguistics and Literature (IJLL) ISSN (P): 2319 - 3956; ISSN (E): 2319 - 3964 Vol. 5, Issue 3, Apr - May 2016; 53 - 56 © IASET SAMUEL BECKETT’S PLAYS: A PSYCHOANALYSIS SAHELEH KHEIRABAD P h D Researcher , Pune University , Maharashtra , India ABSTRACT The most important aim of this research is to show psychoanalytic problem in Beckett’s plays. This will be done by describing Beckett’s characters, as well as Beckett himself, ideas about identity and existence in three of his major plays: Waiting for Godot , Endgame , and Happy Days . Beckett’s father dead when he was in his mid - twenties. So, when he lost his father due to personal loss his mental and his physical health. He had night sweats, fear and anxiety. He couldn’t sleep on his bed alone. Dur ing the therapy sessions, Bion has suggested that he should write in order to release the pain and the inner struggle. Consequently, in a way, writing became a therapeutic tool for Samuel. So, Beckett’s writing helped him to treat himself. That is why there are signs of psychoanalysis on Beckett’s plays and Beckett’s characters. Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot , in this article the aim is analyzing the two characters of Vladimir and Estragon in order to investigate their identity. These two characters put their whole existence into waiting. They are waiting for Godot all times. They believe that Godot will have all the answers of their questions. Beckett shows the unconscious mind of his characters, so we analyzed the play with psychoanalytic lens. -

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. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
