In recent years, the US fake news program The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has become a surprisingly important source of information, conversation, and commentary about public affairs. Perhaps more surprisingly, so-called 'fake news' is now a truly global phenomenon, with various forms of news parody and political satire programming appearing throughout the world. This collection of innovative chapters takes a close and critical look at global news parody from a wide range of countries including the USA and the UK, Italy and France, Hungary and Romania, Israel and Palestine, Iran and India, Australia, Germany, and Denmark. Traversing a range of national cultures, political systems, and programming forms, News Parody and Political Satire Across the Globe offers insight into the central and perhaps controversial role that news parody has come to play in the world, and explores the multiple forces that enable and constrain its performance. It will help readers to better understand the intersections of journalism, politics, and comedy as they take shape across the globe in a variety of political and media systems. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Popular Communication.

The Politics Of Postmodernism written by Linda Hutcheon and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003-12-16 with Literary Criticism categories.

This classic text remains one of the clearest and most incisive introductions to postmodernism. Perhaps more importantly, it is a compelling discussion of why postmodernism matters. Working through the issue of representation in art forms from fiction to photography, Linda Hutcheon sets out postmodernism's highly political challenge to the dominant ideologies of the western world. A new epilogue traces the fate of the postmodern over the last ten years and into the future, responding to claims that it has, once and for all, 'failed'. Together with the new epilogue, this edition contains revised notes on further reading and a fully updated bibliography. This revised edition of The Politics of Postmodernism continues its position as essential reading.

Parody functions in different ways, of course, in these authors' various texts. In The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison uses parody to interrogate how race is learnt and to challenge the position of African-American literature in relation to the American canon. Margaret Atwood uses parody to negotiate contradictory contemporary models of subjectivity. In Lady Oracle, Joan succeeds in telling her life story through self-parody. She constantly reveals to the reader that she is and is not what she writes. Parody emphasizes process as it takes finished texts and turns them into part of the process of creating a new text. Atwood and Lessing's highly self-reflexive novels The Blind Assassin and The Golden Notebook exploit this aspect of parody to reflect the incessant process of writing a woman's life. Lessing's parody of the terrorist group in The Good Terrorist and of Comrade Johnny in The Sweetest Dream enact a critique of Communism's limited focus on class as the primary explanatory foundation of social structures. Parody enables these writers to position themselves simultaneously inside and outside discourse, a position Carolyn Heilbrun identifies particularly with women and captures in the image of the threshold. Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, and Doris Lessing are all on the threshold or margin of their national cultures. For different reasons, these writers share a similar goal: to contribute to their national literary canon while critiquing the national values installed in that canon. Parody is an appropriate strategy by which to achieve this goal. Despite significant differences between these women's political use of parody, they all turn to parody as an alternative to what they perceive as the very real threat of silence. Parody emerges as a strategy that enables these women writers to acknowledge that they are writing in a "man made language," to borrow Dale Spender's phrase, but to critique that language from within. They use parody to link the literary to the political and material.

This book argues that Old Comedy's parodic and non-parodic engagement with tragedy, satyr play, and contemporary lyric is geared to enhancing its own status as the preeminent discourse on Athenian art, politics and society. Donald Sells locates the enduring significance of parody in the specific cultural, social and political subtexts that often frame Old Comedy's bold experiments with other genres and drive its rapid evolution in the late fifth century. Close analysis of verbal, visual and narrative strategies reveals the importance of parody and literary appropriation to the particular cultural and political agendas of specific plays. This study's broader, more flexible definition of parody as a visual – not just verbal – and multi-coded performance represents an important new step in understanding a phenomenon whose richness and diversity exceeds the primarily textual and literary terms by which it is traditionally understood.

"This book is an unmitigated outrage." -Confessor Diadem Donkey, University of TRōPS "I trust the Iwrong of Irak more than Castaspersin." -McDermotley Rantwell, TRōPS delegate to L.U.R.C.H. "Feed him to the "moby."" -Looni Tribal Chief "I don't care what you have to do, sink his boat, kidnap his mother, follow him to the ends of the Midwestern Hemisphere with bribes of caramel lattes and fresh salmon, but catch that bastard Castaspersin and bring him back for sentence then verdict." -Her Ladyship, the Venerable Ris "TRōPS" is the politically incorrect satirical narrative of Forte Castaspersin, a castaway washed ashore in The Republic of Purgit Sowend ("TRōPS"), a curious land whose ruling elite "leftizenry" are locked in cultural war with democratic Mehrka, from whom the Republic seceded. Now part of an Urban Archipelago of similar city-states, TRōPS is governed by Her Ladyship the Venerable Ris who stops at nothing to advance the agenda politics of diversity, multiculturalism, secateur, equality of outcomes over opportunity, and tolerance of even suicidal F'nahtc Welambs terrorists from the Sandstohrm. Determined to eradicate all vestiges of both Mehrka and its President, NoSake St.Texmas, The Venerable Ris relies upon academia's moral equivalency engineering under Confessor Diadem Donkey, courts which seek ideologically-perfect fairness rather than justice, and the media clerisy of Prince Annelid. Glenfiddich Massaquiddick, III (Borkean Logic creator), Shillery Monica-Flowers, Nihil Ozone, and many others exacerbate the split with Mehrka, working to imbed a replacement faith-the secular Theocratic Humanism of Nō. A trenchant, humorous, parody of the Left, "TRōPS" is packed with both inside and outside the Beltway allusion, as Castaspersin's original, quirky, and at times acutely serious examination of TRōPSian society skewers the ideation of contemporary American and European Leftist liberalism. "I love this Castaspersin. He can ride in my pickup truck anytime." -Nosake St.Texmas, Mehrkan President
