The narrative universe of a sitcom is a product of industry, and so it is created to have a mass appeal as well as to reinforce social norms. However, the smaller units of humor transmission within the sitcom, the jokes, enforce the reality of the constructed universe. What seems unremarkable to a character will seem absurd to an audience, and so the joke can be an instrument of challenging boundaries and social change.
Parallel to this analysis will be an exploration of the worlds created within these shows: What is the impact on the collective imaginary and our relation to narratives when the barriers between them breech? Despite the 40 year span of these works, each premise is centered around a white female protagonist living in a metropolitan area, balancing her domestic life with a career in the industry of television production. This dissonance of the boundary crossing examined is reflected in the shows within these shows a live local news show, a weekly news magazine, and live variety show, respectively revealing the both liberating and limiting act of constructing an aesthetic object that must present as authentic and authoritative.
Geniusze, prostacy, psychopaci - stereotypizacja w prezentacjach gier i graczy. Two US contemporary TV comedies, Master of None and Atlanta , illustrate how the entire genre is crossed by deep transformations and slight changes. Distribution methods and consumption practices influence and reshape Distribution methods and consumption practices influence and reshape textual models, production routines, and established genre definitions. And even the basic forms of audience engagement in comedy need to be at least partially reinvented in this new scenario.
In analyzing the Full House revival—its production and reception contexts, its carefully crafted text and paratexts, its position among complex dramas and edgy sitcoms—I will also trace the ways in which Fuller House engages in postfeminist discourse and raises pertinent questions about family values, gender roles, and ethnic diversity.

Il libro ricostruisce sommarimente la storia di questa figura, come e dove nascono gli stereotipi ad essa legati e le produzioni audiovisive americane alla cui diffusione hanno contribuito. Lo studio scandaglia le forme comiche e umoristiche predominanti nella serie per poi passare all'analisi dei singoli personaggi. Arm Wrestling with Masculinity: One visual motif in particular—the shot of two men sitting at a table, their hands temporarily locked as part of an arm wrestling contest—is noteworthy, given the frequency of its recurrence in a variety of fictional programming All in the Family, The Odd Couple, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, etc.
This paper analyses selected aspects of the audio-visual translation of humour on the example of two sitcoms, How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory, and their translations into German.

After the period of development of the today known as classical physics and cosmology, the XIX and XX centuries were specially rich in the arise of new theories on these and related topics such as: A brief review of the last one follows. Einstein , a German scientist, he was the creator of the Theory of Relativity Special in and General in He developed many new physical concepts and obtained the Nobel Prize due to his work on the photoelectric effect.
The Special Theory is aimed to demonstrate the relativity of movements and times as functions of the reference frames, i. After the Special Theory, Einstein tried to incorporate the acceleration factor; then, he developed the space-time concept and replaced the Newtonian definition of force by the space-time curvature, i. His gravitational equation has two terms: In that concerning, Einstein did assume a not-expanding Universe and he maintained such a view till knowing the A. A problem with one of them was that it affords negative values for the Universe acceleration [1].
God becomes the Universe
Besides, he introduced the curvature parameter in a later form of the RWFL equation [19]. Lemaitre was also the first one proposing the primeval atom as the origin of the Big Bang, so called by Gamow in Besides, he cooperated with several scientists in defining new concepts, as the coordinate system of RWFL, necessary to study several Cosmological models [20].
Hubble was an American astronomer who provided many fresh concepts to modern Cosmology. He showed that some distant nebula were galaxies in fact. Several cosmological theories have been developed after those of Einstein, Friedmann, and Lemaitre. Some of them are the following:. As mentioned above, the main trouble for Einstein was the acceptance of the Universe expansion. Milne proposed a Universe having infinite time and size, the Static Universe theory, which had many critics [22].
Meyerstein, F. Walter [WorldCat Identities]
Theirs were not a Static Universe since it may grow. This theory does not accept the Big Bang, yet it assumes the constancy of the Universe density; so it concerns to a continuous creation of matter. After the general acceptation of the Cosmic Background Radiation and the Universe expansion, the Steady State theory was discarded. In previous paragraphs they were mentioned the ancient beliefs religious, philosophical and scientific about the Universe creation.
Additional comments on the scientific theories will be intended in the following section. In this respect, just two views thrive: However, this model has been rejected because some facts are not accountable within the theory, i. He applies a model based on the Second law of Thermodynamics and the Phase Space, to show that the last step of the Universe expansion should be formed by photons [27].
Teilhard de Chardin , a French priest. He was the founder of the Cosmic Theology and did argue that the Omega point stands for the maximum level of knowledge that human kind could reach at the end of the Universe. This theory was later developed by F.
Both Chardin and Tipler kept concerned with the Universe destiny. The same reference mentions a S. Polkinghorne [31] about the Quantum Theory acceptance seems very interesting: However, in spite of its success in Nuclear Physics, the Quantum Theory has not obtained acceptation equal to that of the Big Bang Theory respecting the cosmological origin of the Universe. Nevertheless, the extensive use of Quantum Theory in Nuclear Physics, in Chemistry and other sciences, has motivated big changes in the concept of the inherent incertitude of the micro and macroscopic measurements, as it were a generalization of the Heisenberg Principle.
So, the original quantum singularity theory would still have something more to say. He frequently uses the Democritus sentence: It was in that reference [33] demonstrated the acceleration of this expansion. Reference [3] proposed in the constant value of such acceleration.
These tests of Universe expansion, beside the already mentioned CRB and the matching chronology of nucleo-synthesis with the stars formation, make the Big Bang the most probable origin of the Universe and time. Besides, it works well with the Standard Model of Nuclear Physics. So, it may be assumed that, in the creation ex nihilo, the Universe and time started in a singularity the Big Bang i. Any created being may create nothing, absolutely.
It should be, rather, a continuous change in the original matter.

In the French translation Davies states [34]: The frequent question about the instant when the Universe was created has been refuted by the assumption that time began along with singularity. In this book the question of determinism is approached from many different fields, from quantum mechanics, chaos theory and the microscopic chemistry in the area of physico-chemical sciences, to genetics, evolutionary developmental biology and conservation biology in the domain of life sciences, also including some specifically philosophical domains such as those related to the problem of freedom and free will.
The split between scientific and humanistic culture has become so deep that looking for instruments to overcome it should not be postponed any longer. It is a monographic issue bearing the title El debate sobre el determinismo: The associate editor of the volume is Prof. Claudia Vanney, who has a Ph.

The problem of determinism is of great import nowadays, after a century when some scientific discoveries have challenged basic as well as fundamental notions, such as human free will, the proper inner structure of nature or the origin of living beings, among others. For this reason a rigorous and deep reflection becomes unavoidable. We read in the Introduction:
