"I lost the Game." "Ha!" "What's this Game you all keep talking about?" "Someone please explain it to her. I'm tired of the whole thing." "It was your idea." "It wasn't my idea, my cousin told me about it at my uncle's wedding. I don't know where it came from originally." "Okay, but it's your fault that everybody's now playing the Game." "I didn't think it would catch on so quickly. I wish I hadn't mentioned it, it's getting irritating now." "Maybe you should start a Game Club, like your Apathy Club." "If I set up a Game Club in order to gather people together to not think about The Game it would definitely fail, it's like telling people not to think about an elephant." "An elephant?" "Yes, if I tell you not to think about an elephant, what do you think about?" "An elephant." "Exactly, and if I tell you not to think about The Game, what do you think about?" "An elephant." "Forget the elephant, the whole point is that The Game exists entirely by association." "It's called ironic process theory." "Morning... oh, damn, I just lost the Game." "Too late, you can't, I lost it a few moments ago. Twenty minutes hasn't passed yet." "But he wasn't here at the time. He can still lose The Game if he's not aware that you just lost it, can't he?" "I reckon, yes. What do you think, White-Bear?" "I think it's all got out of hand." "Will somebody, in the name of God, tell me what the Game is?" "If you think about the Game it means you've lost the Game. The whole point is to not think about the Game?" "That's it?" "Yes." "And what about the elephant?" "There is no elephant. It's got nothing to do with elephants. Forget about the elephant." "So, all you have to do is not think about it? That's all it is? That's The Game?" "Yes." "What are you guys talking about?" "I'll give you one guess." "Is it something I've just lost?" "Sorry." "Is there any way to win The Game?" "White-Bear?" "Hmm..." "Well...?" "I'm thinking." "Could it be we've stumped the great White-Bear?" "White-Bear? What are you thinking?" "I'm thinking about that fucking elephant."

The Ironic Temper And The Comic Imagination written by Morton Gurewitch and has been published by Wayne State University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1994 with Literary Criticism categories.

The Ironic Temper and the Comic Imagination examines and illuminates the role which the ironic temper plays in the creation of complex literary comedy. The book focuses on ironic comedy, though not of the kind that is characterized by the surprises and shocks, the incongruities and reversals, of circumstantial irony. Circumstantial—or situational—irony cannot stand alone; it serves, for example, the aggressive functions of satire, or the irrational impulses of farce, or the benevolent, whimsical, or pain-defeating energies of humor.

Irony In The Work Of Philosophy written by Claire Colebrook and has been published by U of Nebraska Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2002-01-01 with Philosophy categories.

In an era that proclaims itself postironic, the question and problem of irony are of more interest than ever. In this compelling inquiry, Claire Colebrook first takes up all the majorøfigures in post-Cartesian philosophy on the subject of irony: Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche. She similarly examines the modern thinkers in the Anglo-Saxon tradition: Rorty, Searle, and de Man. She then engages in an analysis of the Continental canon and the ironic dimension that marks contemporary philosophy. Beyond the question of irony, Colebrook treats the presence of irony in the history of philosophy and those points of overlap between nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and philosophy. Ultimately, she extends what has belonged primarily to the domain of literature into a world of concepts.

The logic of modernity is an ironical logic. Modern irony, a flash of genius produced by Romantic theorists, is first discussed, e.g. in Hegel and Kierkegaard, as an ethical problem personified in figures such as the aesthete, the seducer, the flaneur, or the dandy. It fully develops in the novel, the modern genre par excellence: in novels of the early 19th century no less than in those of postmodernity or in those of the masters of citation, parody, and pastiche of classical modernism (Musil, Joyce, and Proust). This book, however, goes one step further. Looking at how such different authors as Schmitt, Kafka, and Rorty identify the political conflicts, contradictions, and paradoxes of the 20th century as ironical and offers a comprehensive account of the constitutive irony of modernity’s ethical, poetical, and political logic.

The edge of irony, says Linda Hutcheon, is always a social and political edge. Irony depends upon interpretation; it happens in the tricky, unpredictable space between expression and understanding. Irony's Edge is a fascinating, compulsively readable study of the myriad forms and the effects of irony. It sets out, for the first time, a sustained, clear analysis of the theory and the political contexts of irony, using a wide range of references from contemporary culture. Examples extend from Madonna to Wagner, from a clever quip in conversation to a contentious exhibition in a museum. Irony's Edge outlines and then challenges all the major existing theories of irony, providing the most comprehensive and critically challengin theory of irony to date.

The Pragmatics of Irony and Banter is the first book-length study analysing irony and banter together. This approach, inherited from Geoffrey Leech’s research, implies that the two notions are intrinsically related. In this thought-provoking volume, the various contributors (linguists, stylisticians, discourse analysts and literary scholars), while not necessarily agreeing on every aspect of this theoretical premise, discuss and develop the idea. In turn, they consider the workings of these two discursive practices in various corpora (face-to-face or digitally-mediated interactions, novels, comedy shows, etc.) thus providing a wealth of examples and case studies. This well-balanced positioning helps the reader to develop a better understanding of these complex discursive practices that play a crucial part in everyday interaction. Steering a course between traditional perspectives and new theoretical approaches, this innovative and exciting way of looking at irony and banter will no doubt open new avenues for research.
