Sinopse

Classical Satire Function explores how ancient Roman satirists like Juvenal and Horace used humor as a potent tool for political critique and social commentary. These writers dissected the intricacies of Roman society, from political intrigue to moral decay, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities inherent in using satire to shape public opinion. Roman satire served as a powerful means to challenge authority and expose societal ills. This book examines key techniques such as irony and parody, revealing how satire was employed to target individuals, institutions, and societal norms.

 
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with an introduction to satire's development in Roman literature. It then undertakes a detailed analysis of Horace's urbane approach and Juvenal's fiery indignation. By understanding the socio-political contexts that shaped these satirists, readers gain a deeper appreciation of satire's function in contemporary society.

 
The book argues that despite their different approaches, both Juvenal and Horace understood satire's power to provoke thought and effect social change, offering timeless lessons about humor's role in public discourse.

Gidget - Origins of a Teen Girl...

Pamela Robertson Wojcik

Gidget: Origins of a Teen Girl Transmedia Franchise examines the multiplicity of books, films, TV shows, and merchandise that make up the transmedia Gidget universe from the late 1950s to the 1980s. 
 
 
 
The book examines the Gidget phenomenon as an early and unique teen girl franchise that expands understanding of both teen girlhood and transmedia storytelling. It locates the film as existing at the historical intersection of numerous discourses and events, including the emergence of surf culture and surf films; the rise of California as signifier of modernity and as the epicenter of white American middle-class teen culture; the annexation of Hawaii; the invention of Barbie; and Hollywood's reluctant acceptance of teen culture and teen audiences. Each chapter places the Gidget text in context, looking at production and reception circumstances and intertexts such as the novels of Françoise Sagan, the Tammy series, La Dolce Vita, and the Patty Duke Show, to better understand Gidget's meaning at different points in time. 
 
 
 
This book explores many aspects of Gidget, providing an invaluable insight into this iconic franchise for students and researchers in film studies, feminist media studies, and youth culture.

Symbolism

Johann Adam Möhler

Johann Adam Möhler was professor theology at the Tübingen University where both Catholics and Protestants taught and studied. In 1832 he published Symbolism; a work that examined the doctrines of original sin, grace and free will as held by the different Christian confessions. It caused a storm of controversy in the Protestant nations of Europe. In it he turned the weapons furnished by Hegel, the “Protestant Aquinas”, against Protestantism. His method and style were supported by the use of facts, texts, and documents. By 1838 Symbolism had been translated to 8 languages and its author had died before he completed its 5th edition. In an age when the Catholic Church found itself divided into two camps, the “German” and the “Roman”, Döllinger, a former pupil of Möhler’s, when addressing a group of scholars at Munich in 1863 once famously quipped that the former were defending Catholicism with rifles while the latter were still using bows and arrows. The “Romans”, however, would succeed in silencing thier “German” brethren at the First Vatican Council and cut off a branch bearing good fruit. A rediscovery of the “German” school is long overdue and there is no better place to start than Möhler’s Symbolism. (Summary by Jeff Allen)

African American Women's...

Sandra Llopart Babot

This volume brings forward a descriptive approach to the translation and reception of African American women's literature in Spain. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, it traces the translation history of literature produced by African American women, seeking to uncover changing strategies in translation policies as well as shifts in interests in the target context, and it examines the topicality of this cohort of authors as frames of reference for Spanish critics and reviewers. Likewise, the reception of the source literature in the Spanish context is described by reconstructing the values that underlie judgements in different reception sources. Finally, this book addresses the specific problem of the translation of Black English into Spanish. More precisely, it pays attention to the ideological and the ethical implications of translation choices and the effect of the latter on the reception of literary texts.
