Sinopse

Slapstick Origins explores the rich history of slapstick comedy, tracing its roots from ancient theatrical traditions to its modern-day manifestations. The book argues that slapstick isn't just lowbrow humor, but a complex art form reflecting societal changes. It delves into the historical antecedents, like commedia dell'arte, and dissects the technical elements, such as pratfalls and chases, revealing the artistry behind seemingly simple gags.

 
Intriguingly, slapstick's themes of social disruption and absurd situations resonate across cultures, making it a potent form of social commentary. The book analyzes the evolution of slapstick across chapters, starting with its historical context and moving through specific periods like silent films and the rise of figures such as Charlie Chaplin. It further examines contemporary examples in sitcoms and action comedies.

 
By connecting performing arts, history, and film studies, Slapstick Origins offers a holistic understanding of slapstick's significance and its enduring influence on popular culture.

    Even as they consider the paradoxical properties of fire, its potential both for creativity and for destruction, the poems in this book burn with the intent to illuminate the objects of their contemplation. Open Fire conjures both the violent imperative of a firing squad, and the communal warmth radiating from a campfire. In persona and ekphrastic forms, Gorlin jimmies the lock of her identity to pull off daring acts of imaginative immersion and poetic ventriloquism as she adventures into the images of artists, and the lives of figures featured in the Bible, myth, literature, history, biography, fashion design, and current events. Imagine yourself as the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Leda with a surprising assessment of the swan, the World War II photographer Lee Miller in Hitler’s bathtub, the British fashionista Isabella Blow, and even Death itself mourning over the Covid epidemic.

    It's uncertain that Howard Thurman made the remark often attributed to him, "I have been writing this book all my life," but there is little doubt that he was deeply immersed in reflection on the times that bear an uncanny resemblance to the present day, which give voice to the Black Lives Matter movement. 
     
     
     
    Our "life's book" is filled with sentence upon sentence of marginalization, pages of apartheid, chapters of separate and unequal. Now this season reveals volumes of violence against Blacks in America. 
     
     
     
    Ten Black women and men explore life through the lens of compelling personal religious narratives. They are people and leaders whose lives are tangible demonstrations of the power of a divine purpose and evidence of what grace really means in face of hardship, disappointment, and determination. Each of the journeys intersect because of three central elements that are the focus of this book. We're Black. We're Christians. We're Methodists. Each starts with the fact, "I'm Black," but to resolve the conflict of being Christian and Methodist means confronting aspects of White theology, White supremacy, and White racism in order to ground an oppositional experience toward domination over four centuries in America.
