Received: September 03, 2018 Accepted: October 24, 2018 ABSTRACT American Comedian Leonard Alfred Schneider better known by his stage name Lenny Bruce. The first examination has demonstrated that Bruce's diversion influences utilization of 3 to sub methodologies. In the first place, his utilization of dialect not exclusively separates him anyway represents amusing impacts.

  • Lenny Bruce: a Rhetoric of Social Criticism
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 120 831 CS 501 280 AUTHOR Lucaites, John Louis TITLE Lenny Bruce: A Rhetoric of Social Criticism. PUB DATE 76 NOTE 17p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Southern States Speech Association (San Antonio* Texas* April 1976) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.83 HC-41.67 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS *Communication (Thought Transfer); *Rhetoric; *Rhetorical Criticism; *Social Action; *Social Attitudes IDENTIFIERS *Bruce (Lenny) ABSTRACT The premise of this paper is that a rhetorical analysis of Lenny Bruce's invective will help in understanding the cultural impact that he has had on twentieth century America. Its evaluating his rhetoric in relationship to the audience to which he was preaching, both his rejection and acceptance are found to flow from the same point--an image of someone who was making a wholesale assault, as opposed to a piecemeal reformist modification* on the status quo. His rhetorical stance, the use of !ais life as the defining principle for freedom and morality, as well as his sacrastic and moralistic vituperation, account for his following in the youth counter-culture of the 1960's. An analysis of Bruce's rhetorical approach notes the fulfillment of the three criteria presented at the beginning of the paper: being, knowing* and doing. The language and structure that his routines took functionally evolved from knowing the needs and responses of his audience and from knowing what had to be done to satisfy that desire.(MKM) *********************************************************************** Documents acquired by ERIC include many informal unpublished * * materials not available from other sources.

  • 1 Sicknicks with Filthy Words: What Lenny Bruce and George Carlin
    Sicknicks with Filthy Words: What Lenny Bruce and George Carlin can tell us about Political Correctness Joseph Mello Assistant Professor of Political Science DePaul University [email protected] Abstract: This paper analyzes how liberals and conservatives conceptualize free speech by analyzing the works of comics Lenny Bruce and George Carlin, and conservative commentator Milo Yiannopoulos. This analysis helps us to better understand how free speech moved from being a value championed primarily by the left, to one advanced by the right as well, and allows us to examine the implications of this shift. It reveals how the left and the right conceptualize free speech claims differently, and explores the interpretive work that this rights claiming does for both groups. I find that rights are not disembodied entities which are applied to all individuals equally— their legitimacy is tied to the perceived legitimacy of the rights bearer advancing the claim. Conservatives and liberals have very different conceptions of what a legitimate rights bearing citizen is, and this shapes their support for free speech claims. For liberals, law is typically thought of as a mechanism for protecting vulnerable minority groups who are likely to be oppressed by a hostile majority through the democratic process. As such, they tend to support speech claims when they are advanced by dissidents challenging entrenched hierarchies. In contrast conservatives see law as beholden to the will of the majority. As a result, they tend to support speech claims when they are framed as representing the will of an often “silent” majority, who seeks to challenge the illegitimate power of “subversive” elites.
