{"product_id":"9783902803139","title":"The Simpsons Did It!: Postmodernity in Yellow","description":"On December 17th 2014, the US TV-series \"The Simpsons\" celebrated its 25th birthday - a remarkable anniversary. With an airtime of 25 years and more than 550 published episodes, \"The Simpsons\" are part of everyday media-reality of more than just one generation of television viewers. Their immense popularity as well as the critic's esteem highlight The Simpsons' importance as pop-cultural phenomenon, and demand far-ranging scholarly attention.\u003cbr\u003eThis book uses \"The Simpsons\" as an analytical media-matrix to discuss aspects of postmodernity. It features articles by Angela Meyer (\"Lisa Simpson as the Voice of Double-Coded Critiques of Contemporary Society\"), Benjamin Franz (\"Vests, Monorails, 'Springs' and Kwik-E-Marts: Music as Political Discourse in The Simpsons\"), John W. Heeren and Salvador Jimenez Murguia (\"Faith And Laughter: A Postmodern View of Religion in The Simpsons\"), Eric Pellerin (\"The Simpsons and Television Self Reflexivity as Critique\"), Martin Gloger (\"No Homer-Society - Some Explorations on Springfield Capitalism\"), Tom Zlabinger (\"Listening to Yellow: Music and Musicians as Heard and Seen in The Simpsons\"), Joseph H. Herrera (\"Hmm... Abortions for Some, Miniature American Flags for Others\": The Simpsons, Cultural Memory \u0026amp; the Unpaid Labor behind 'Oogle Goggles'\") and Brett Jordan Schmoll (\"Slashing The Simpsons: Apu, Lisa, and the Fictionalization of Academic Discourse\")","brand":"Ferstl \u0026 Perz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055947727088,"sku":"9783902803139","price":38.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783902803139_p0.jpg?v=1763703085","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783902803139","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
