Download or read book Gender and Laughter written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay collection is dedicated to intersections between gender theories and theories of laughter, humour, and comedy. It is based on the results of a three-year research programme, entitled “Gender – Laughter – Media” (2003-2006) and includes a series of investigations on traditional and modern media in western cultures from the 18th to the 20th century. A theoretical opening part is followed by four thematic sections that explore the multiple forms of irritating stereotypical gender perceptions; aspects of (post-)colonialism and multiculturalism; the comic impact of literary and media genres in different national cultures; as well as the different comic strategies in fictional, philosophical, artistic or real life communication. The volume presents a variety of new approaches to the overlaps between gender and laughter that have only barely been considered in groundbreaking research. It forms a valuable read for scholars of literary, theatre, media, and cultural studies, at the same time reaching out to a general readership.

Download or read book The Man Who Laughs written by Victor Hugo and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Man Who Laughs (1869) is a novel by Victor Hugo. Written while Hugo was living in exile on the island of Guernsey, The Man Who Laughs is set between the 17th and 18th centuries in England, a time of political unrest and class conflict in which he identified parallels to France of the 19th century. Although the novel was largely panned at the time, it has since been recognized as one of Hugo’s greatest works. The Man Who Laughs has inspired over a dozen adaptations in film, theater, and comics, including a 1928 American silent film that served as source material for the Joker in the original 1940 issue of Batman. “Again the child set himself to sweep away the snow. The neck of the dead woman appeared; then her shoulders, clothed in rags. Suddenly he felt something move feebly under his touch. It was something small that was buried, and which stirred. The child swiftly cleared away the snow, discovering a wretched little body—thin, wan with cold, still alive, lying naked on the dead woman's naked breast.” Abandoned by a group of Comprachicos, criminals who buy and capture children for the purpose of mutilating them and forcing them to work as beggars or performers, the young Gwynplaine wanders the English coast alone. During a storm, he discovers an infant girl and her dead mother lying in the snow, and endeavors to save the child. Left with no choice but to rely on strangers, Gwynplaine joins a carnival run by the merciful Ursus, a man with a pet wolf. Horrified at first by the boy’s disfigurement, which has left a perpetual smile on his face, Ursus agrees to care for the children and soon finds that Gwynplaine is a versatile and lucrative attraction at his shows. When the Duchess Josiana attends the carnival to see Gwynplaine, now a young man, she finds herself strangely attracted to him. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Victor Hugo’s The Man Who Laughs is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Book Synopsis Laughter in the Shadows by : Stuart E Methven
Download or read book Laughter in the Shadows written by Stuart E Methven and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir of a CIA operations officer captures the spirit of the early years of the Agency, a period sometimes described as its "finest hours." Using the name "St. Martin," Stuart Methven served in the CIA from the 1950s through the 1970s. The book opens by describing the author's training in the clandestine arts and subsequent assignment to Asia in a country he calls "Bushido." There he is involved in numerous operations, including one that takes him under the ocean, and earns his case officer's "brevet." A nation-building program in "Cham" follows, which begins well enough when Methven gains a tribal leader's confidence by parachuting badly needed supplies to his mountain village. It ends abruptly, however, with a coup d'etat and civil war that forces Methven's evacuation, the first of several during his career. His next assignment is in South Vietnam working to counter another budding insurgency. Methven spends four years in the mountain and delta provinces of Vietnam before being given a sabbatical to MIT's School of International Studies. After completing his studies, he returns to Southeast Asia as a deputy station chief with a focus on a large Soviet mission in Samudra and the recruitment of Soviet military officers. Promoted to station chief, his final assignment is in central Africa, where his station becomes center stage for a large covert operation that attracts Soviet and Cuban military intervention. Glimpses of the CIA from the inside are rare, and Methven's recollections of his experiences during a formative period in the Agency's history will be of particular value to those with an interest in the CIA and international affairs—and in spy stories.

Book excerpt: Follow the multiple tales of lives past, intertwined in the present by one common denominator. One of these lives past is a young man who's spirit is bound by anger toward his father to the point of insistent vengeance. A second of these lives past is a life-long nanny who, in a desperate moment of survival, murders her husband, then takes her own life. Also, a young colored man, so drenched in hatred toward the white man for murdering him, his wife and their baby, simply for their inter-racial union, takes methodical steps to assure revenge, using the body of a living white man. Journey into a world where nothing is as it seems. To many of the living, this world does not exist and yet it is still there. Not believing does not manipulate the truth, or does it?
