Product Description
Diplomarbeit, die am 18.04.2000 erfolgreich an einer Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Deutschland eingereicht wurde. Einleitung: Eine hermeneutische Analyse einer der erfolgreichsten und gleichzeitig avantgardistischsten Comedy- Gruppen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Marx- Brothers haben nicht nur ein Millionenpublikum unter einfachen amerikanischen Arbeitern gefunden, sondern auch Impulse für die bildende und darstellende Kunst Europas gegeben. Die Ursache dieses Erfolges liegt wesentlich in ihrer Verwurzelung in den großen Krisen und Umbrüchen ihrer Zeit. Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt den Zusammenhang zwischen komischem Ausdruck und lebensweltlicher Realität. Groucho, Harpo und Chico- als festgelegte komische Figuren entstammen sie einer uralten Komödientradition. Dabei präsentieren alle drei eine jeweils verschiedene Lachkultur. Im Vergleich dieser historischen Vorbilder mit der Realisierung durch die Marx- Brothers in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts werden die Abgründe, Absurditäten und Neurosen einer kapitalistischen Gesellschaft deutlich, die unserer eigenen Zeit in ihrer Schnellebigkeit, Dynamik und Aggressivität sehr nahe ist.

A linguistic look at the funniest men of our time.
This book is nothing more than a breakdown of puns and plays on words according to some student at a university.It is more for the person who has everything in the way of the Marx Brothers than for the person who ismerely a fan.It is like listening and watching for subliminal and racialmessages in a Disney film versus just watching and enjoying it.I foundthis book to be an analytical, blow-by-blow breakdown of the humor thathelped shape an industry and, frankly, it was boring reading for me as afan.Perhaps a linguistic major, Marx Brothers fan is the one who wouldappreciate this the most. ...

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Umberto Eco (born 5 January 1932) is an Italian medievalist, semiotician, philosopher, literary critic and novelist, best known for his novel The Name of the Rose (Il nome della rosa, 1980), an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. Eco is President of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici, University of Bologna, and an Honorary Fellow of Kellogg College, University of Oxford. He has also written academic texts, children's books and many essays. Eco was born in the city of Alessandria in the region of Piedmont (northern Italy). His father, Giulio, was an accountant before the government called upon him to serve in three wars. During World War II, Umberto and his mother, Giovanna, moved to a small village in the Piedmontese mountainside. Eco received a Salesian education, and he has made references to the order and its founder in his works and interviews. His family name is supposedly an acronym of ex caelis oblatus (Latin: a gift from the heavens), which was given to his grandfather (a foundling) by a city official. His father was the son of a family with thirteen children, and urged Umberto to become a lawyer, but he entered the University of Turin in order to take up medieval philosophy and literature, writing his thesis on Thomas Aquinas and earning his Laurea in philosophy in 1954. During this time, Eco left the Roman Catholic Church after a crisis of faith. After this, Eco worked as a cultural editor f...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
