The Art of Comedy Writing
ISBN: 9781412814898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just as a distinctive literary voice or style is marked by the ease with which it can be parodied, so too can specific aspects of humor be unique. Playwrights, television writers, novelists, cartoonists, and film scriptwriters use many special technical devices to create humor. Just as dramatic writers and novelists use specific devices to craft their work, creators of humorous materials--from the ancient Greeks to today's stand-up comics--have continued to use certain techniques in order to generate humor. In The Art of Comedy Writing, Arthur Asa Berger argues that there...

Victorian Revolutionaries: Speculations on Some Heroes of a Culture Crisis
ISBN: 9781412814485 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 321 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Victorian era is rightly associated with the industrial revolution in Britain and the ascendancy of a materialist, commercially-oriented middle class. The threat to spiritual values was felt strongly in the realm of religion but also in the secular realm of the arts and literature. This volume analyzes the drive toward cultural transcendence in the lives and works of such eminent Victorians as Tennyson, Carlyle, Browning, the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites, and the romantic origins of anthropology. The various modes of escape from the Victorian era helps illuminate present concerns...

This book offers a semiotically informed ethnographic study of contemporary culture in Rajasthan and in India generally.

This manuscript is, at first, a guide to Rajasthan and India, and it is that but it is also more in that it considers tourism from both an anthropological and...

Reflections of an American Composer
ISBN: 9780520232518 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this engrossing collection of essays, distinguished composer, theorist, journalist, and educator Arthur Berger invites us into the vibrant and ever-changing American music scene that has been his home for most of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane, and always entertaining, Berger describes the music scene in New York and Boston since the 1930s, discussing the heady days when he was a member of a tight-knit circle of avant-garde young composers mentored by Aaron Copland as well as his participation in a group at Harvard University dedicated to Stravinsky. As Virgil Thomson's associate on...

The Genius of the Jewish Joke
ISBN: 9781412805537 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Genius of the Jewish Joke focuses on what is distinctive and unusual about Jewish jokes and Jewish humor. Jewish humor is humor by Jews and about Jews, in whatever medium this humor is found. Jokes are defined as short stories, meant to amuse, with a punch line, though Jewish humor exists in many other forms-riddles, comic definitions, parodies-as well. The book makes a "radical" suggestion about the origin of Jewish humor-namely, that Sarah and Abraham's relation to God, and the name of their son Isaac (which, in Hebrew, means laughter), recognizes a special affinity in Jews...

Agitpop : Political Culture and Communication Theory
ISBN: 9781412806459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this entirely sophisticated and scholarly account of political culture, Arthur Asa Berger shows how the variety of cultural preferences creates the foundations of communication theory. Using the work of Aaron Wildavsky, the author shows how individualism, egalitarianism, collectivism, and fatalism form the basis of culture in complex societies. But more importantly, Berger breaks down the mechanical distinction between mass culture and elite culture, showing how they interpenetrate and crossover at the level of competitive and hierarchical frames. Agitpop, now in paperback, suggests that...
