Beschreibung

"Ridicule History" explores the underappreciated power of ridicule as a tool in shaping social and political landscapes throughout history. It examines how humor, satire, and mockery have been used strategically to influence public opinion and challenge authority. The book highlights that ridicule isn't just entertainment; it's a potent force with both positive and negative potential. For example, lampoons during the French Revolution helped fuel societal change, while satirical cartoons served as propaganda during World War II. 

 
The book progresses by first dissecting the anatomy of ridicule, delving into the psychological factors that make it effective. It then presents historical case studies, analyzing pivotal moments where ridicule played a defining role. Finally, it considers the lasting impact of ridicule on contemporary society, exploring its influence on political campaigns and the perpetuation of social norms. By understanding these mechanisms, readers can better navigate the complexities of modern political and social discourse.

    Epic poets of the Renaissance looked to emulate the poems of Greco-Roman antiquity, but doing so presented a dilemma: what to do about the gods? Divine intervention plays a major part in the epics of Homer and Virgil—indeed, quarrels within the family of Olympian gods are essential to the narrative structure of those poems—yet poets of the Renaissance recognized that the cantankerous Olympians could not be imitated too closely. The divine action of their classical models had to be transformed to accord with contemporary tastes and Christian belief.From Many Gods to One offers the first comparative study of poetic approaches to the problem of epic divine action. Through readings of Petrarch, Vida, Ariosto, Tasso, and Milton, Tobias Gregorydescribes the narrative and ideological consequences of the epic’s turn from pagan to Christian. Drawing on scholarship in several disciplines—religious studies, classics, history, and philosophy, as well as literature—From Many Gods to One sheds new light on two subjects of enduring importance in Renaissance studies: the precarious balance between classical literary models and Christian religious norms and the role of religion in drawing lines between allies and others.

    • Is there an order which is not man-made? 
    • Can the brain ever be free from the impositions, pressures, wounds, bruises, all 
    the trivialities of existence? 
    • Time is my whole existence. I take refuge in the past, which cannot be 
    changed. Why does the brain accept this way of living, and why doesn’t it break it down? 
    • As long as I have my roots in the past there cannot be order. 
    • If the universe is not of time, can the mind which has been entangled in time, 
    unravel itself and so be the universe?
