  • The Simpsons WORKSHEET A
    Inside Out The Simpsons WORKSHEET A First shown on television in 1989, the animated sitcom The Simpsons quickly became a huge success. The first series attracted an average of more than 13 million viewers per episode in the United States, and it wasn’t long before it started gaining fans in many other countries. In its 18 year history it has won countless prizes, as well as being named best ever television series by Time magazine. So what do people find so funny about the dysfunctional Simpson family and the other cartoon characters who inhabit the imaginary American town of Springfield? One possible answer is that the show doesn’t just poke fun at American society and culture, but also at universal aspects of the human condition. It also balances ‘low’ and ‘high’ humour, for example by combining amusing visual jokes with clever references to social and political issues, music, science, television and history. The show’s principal characters are, of course, the members of the Simpson family. The father, Homer, is widely seen as one of the greatest comic characters in cartoon history. Although lazy, clumsy, inconsiderate and basically quite stupid, he still manages to be likeable, partly because in his own unusual way he is devoted to his wife and children. He works, rather inappropriately, as a safety inspector at the Springfield nuclear power station. His catchphrase, ‘D’oh!’, used on the many occasions when he makes a mistake, became so popular that in 2002 it entered the Oxford English Dictionary. It is fortunate that his long-suffering wife, Marge, possesses a tolerant personality in addition to her eye-catching blue hair.

  • 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.

  • Homer Simpson's
    Homer Simpson’s “Doh!” Singsong between Music and Speech Albrecht Riethmüller, Berlin The article examines sound phenomena situated between word and music, voice and noise, and singing and speaking. A theoretical exposition of three modes of com- munication – articulation, gesticulation and modulation – is followed by examples from the TV cartoon series The Simpsons, including Danny Elfman’s overture and Homer Simpson’s signature exclamation, “Doh!”. A growing number of research projects on the subject of voice have recently gained international attention. As expected, the studies’ outcomes are trans- mitted by written and spoken words. No one would anticipate that the results be sung. Why are thoughts and ideas communicated by the spoken word and not by singing, even on questions concerning the voice itself? Why do we trust the persuasiveness of rhetoric1 above the expressiveness of emotion? 1. Complete and Incomplete Communication In recent discourses on the phenomenon of voice, one repeatedly cited para- digm is the sound of the sirens, those same sirens created at the beginning of our written western tradition by Homer in his Odyssey (XII). A full library has been devoted to them over the ages, and countless writings speculate about how they might have sounded. The predominant general agreement is that the sirens probably uttered a type of singsong. This is also how Debussy set 1 Kant, in his Critique of Judgment (first published 1790), had second thoughts when it came to ars oratoria as it evoked in him “an unpleasant feeling of disapprobation of a treacherous art” (1951: 172; § 53, annotation). 216 Albrecht Riethmüller them in his third Nocturne for orchestra entitled “Sirènes” (1897), where the women’s chorus adjacent the orchestra sings vowels, not words.

This Is Not a Kwik-E-Mart! The Satire of Libraries, Librarians and Reference Desk Air-Hockey Tables Casey D. Hoeve Introduction Librarians are obsessed with stereotypes. Sometimes even so much so that, according to Gretchen Keer and Andrew Carlos, the fixation has become a stereotype within itself (63). The complexity of the library places the profession in a constant state of transition. Maintaining traditional organization systems while addressing new information trends distorts our image to the outside observer and leaves us vul- nerable to mislabeling and stereotypes. Perhaps our greatest fear in recognizing stereotypes is not that we appear invariable but that the public does not fully understand what services we can provide.

  • 'I'm Bart Simpson, Who the Hell Are You?
    ‘‘I’m Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?’’ A Study in Postmodern Identity (Re)Construction BRIAN L. OTT Performance – The semiotics of self. (O’Sullivan et al. 222) AM SITTING AT MY COMPUTER MULLING OVER THE THREE OR FOUR acceptable conventions for beginning a scholarly article under Ithe watchful eye of my Bart Simpson doll perched amid my media theory books on the shelf just above me. I carefully reach for the bright yellow and blue plastic toyFa gift from an old friend, former colleague, and fellow Simpson fanatic several years agoFand gently tug at the tiny white cord protruding from its back. Without hesitation, Bart comes alive, impertinently inquiring, ‘‘I’m Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?’’ At the request of this great cultural icon and postmodern philosopher, I pause to consider who the hell I am, and what, if anything, it has to do with the doll I now hold in my hands. We are frequently, of course, told in a media-laden landscape that identity is closely tied to the active consumption of products offered by the media and leisure industries (Kellner 231–62; Featherstone). That I proudly display the Bart doll in my office, along with a host of other Simpson-related merchandise, does seem to suggest that I desire others to read and mark me as a Simpson fan. Continuing to reflect on my sense of self, I decide that the form of Bart’s question, like the doll itself, is also instructive, as it alludes to a fundamental feature of The Journal of Popular Culture, Vol.
