Download or read book Humor Psyche and Society A Socio Semiotic Analysis written by Arthur Asa Berger and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the age-old saying that “laughter is the best medicine”. Scientific research has substantiated the claim made by this proverb by verifying the positive effects it has on both our mind and body, but what is it about a good joke, comic, or sitcom that makes us laugh? Humor, Psyche and Society is a compilation of Berger’s previously published articles and new chapters on the nature of humour, its importance for our psyches, and its social and political significance. Written in an accessible style, it uses semiotics, psychoanalytic theory, sociological theory, as well as other theories of humour to explore the multifaceted nature of humour, various styles of jokes and sitcoms. Using Berger’s typology of forty-five techniques found in all forms of humour, developed to explain what makes us laugh, this book analyses a variety of humorous texts. Balancing theory, entertaining jokes and other humorous texts, as well as the author’s illustrations, the chapters in this book delve into a diverse range of topics such as humour and the creative process, humour and health, and visual humour; along with an examination of the sitcoms Frasier and Cheers; and finally, the exploration of jokes including Jewish jokes, and jokes on Russia and Communism, and Trump. This book will be of particular interest to university students studying courses in humour, comedy, popular culture, applied semiotics, American politics and culture, and cultural studies. Due to the accessible nature of this book, the general public may find it to be both a fascinating and entertaining read.

Download or read book The Story of The Bee Gees written by Bob Stanley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling biography of one of the bestselling bands of all time, told with brilliant insight by renowned pop music scholar Bob Stanley. The world is full of Bee Gees fans. Yet for a band of such renown, little is known about Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb. People tend to have their favorite era of the Bee Gees's career, but many listeners are also conscious that there is more to uncover about the band. This book will provide the perfect solution, by pulling together every fascinating strand to tell the story of a group with the imagination of the Beatles, the pop craft of ABBA, the drama of Fleetwood Mac, and the emotional heft of the Beach Boys. Uniquely, the Bee Gees's tale spans the entire modern pop era—they are the only group to have scored British top-ten singles in the '60s, '70s, '80s, and ‘90s—and includes world-conquering disco successes like 'Stayin' Alive' and 'More Than a Woman', both from the soundtrack of the hit film Saturday Night Fever. But the Bee Gees's extraordinary career was one of highs and lows. From a vicious but temporary split in 1969 to several unreleased albums, disastrous TV and film appearances, and a demoralising cabaret season, the group weren't always revelling in the glow of million-selling albums, private jets, and UNICEF concerts. Yet, even in the Gibbs' darkest times, their music was rarely out of the charts, as sung by the likes of Al Green, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and Destiny's Child. Capturing the human story at the heart of the Bee Gees, this book is a lyrical and stylish read, delighting hardcore fans with its details while engaging casual pop readers who simply want to know more about this important and enigmatic group.

An education is something you must have. Without a doubt, you will need an education someday. Without an education, who will count your coins, or how would you know how much paper was in your bag before you let your smart-ass accounting count it for you? His or her pockets may just be dripping with your cash. You know, he or she will be twerking and crip-walking all the way to the bank. You better learn quick how to count your moolah. Sticky fingers always come with skills. Without an education, how will you learn about your history? Who will teach you about all the wars that were won and lost if you can’t read? You will have to depend on what someone is telling you. If you can read, you can do your own research of your past, present, and future. If you don’t get an education, someone else will write your story and tell all kinds of tall tales. If you didn’t go to school and learn to write your story yourself, who can tell your life story better than you? An education is a must. You will find out the hard way. Just because they’re your friends in your face doesn’t mean they will be the same friends behind your back. Your story is being written and told by a hater. Navigate your own legacy by learning to read. Who will speak for you if you don’t speak for yourself? No one knows how or why your pain multiplies, why your happiness is so big it floats up to the sky, or how bright your future will get if you keep your head in your books and your nose clean. Dyslexic. I know some of us need a little help or maybe just a little extra time because of how our brain operates or is wired. If I can so graciously attempt to describe a dyslexic mind, I will try, with some old dance crazes from the fifties and sixties as metaphors. Well, here goes. A so-called normal mind or brain does the dance we call the twist, slowly twisting or wiggling your hips and still keeping up with the beat as you let your backbone slip, or a simple, slow drag or stepping—a dance where you’re in total control. Your smooth moves engage every part of your body as you slowly synchronize across the room and floor, holding your partner close. And my brain, a dyslexic brain, is very busy and does an old dance called the funky chicken and the funky, funky Broadway, moving the head, feet, and all limbs at the same time at a faster tempo, but dramatic. Just a step behind, but your imagination is all the way up on cloud nine. That’s how I describe a dyslexic mind. But being dyslexic does not make a normal brain better and surely does not make a dyslexic brain lesser than. It just makes our brains different, simple as that. Cassandra Hudson December 10, 2019

Download or read book Kindness in Imperfect Life written by Deepak Gupta and published by Inspirational Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-27 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can learn kindness by doing, not by saying because when we do, we would perceive why everybody can't do it. Are you undoubtedly kind & hopeful to yourself? Do you really think about yourself? Because rare people think about you like the way you do. You should think for yourself, too, without any judgement to know what you really are. I always think, what's the purpose of my life? Am I doing good? Am I good for at least more people? Am I being kind? Did I hurt some? Can I put a couple of water pots on my terrace for birds? Thank God, we have emotional imbalance and somehow, we get to know the truth & learn lessons; otherwise, we would get stuck in the puzzle of mind only, complaining that the world isn't actually fair. In this book, Kindness in Imperfect World, the depiction & clarification is extremely diverse but somewhere true. It believes, humans need to be kind, not when they are in deep hope but most of the time, because at every moment, someone is inevitably in hope, and that would have to come to us in a diverse form in a different time dimension. We, humans possess world-class minds, but we mostly fail in serving kindness to people, or if we perceive differently, we experience less kindness in this world. Why do we always have the challenge of maintaining a balance of thoughts in our minds? Humans are living evidence of the fact that too much light can make us blind. Every element in this universe has a sole purpose, and that's why they are eternal. We have a lot in common for which we should dig our intentions and basic instincts. The noble intentions, trust and instinct can make anything alive, including the man with hope and kindness. You know, this book is entirely an emotional read. This book is almost my soul. You can be crushed when you are planted, but can't when you are deep rooted, spread & grown. When good people serve us, they still need love and kindness, to nurture their hope and keep love intact in this world. A good person's hope dies fast when they aren't loved properly. Today is the best day of our lives. What exactly are we doing it? Live the moments because one day we will realise we have everything except time. Lack of time kills every desire in a moment. Remember that. Until we have time, we have God within us. Time is the real God.
