The Simpsons, Hyper-Irony, and the Meaning of Life

What separates the comedies that were shown on television fifty, forty, or even twenty five years ago from those of today? First, we may notice technological differences, the difference between black and white and color, the difference between film stock (or even kinescope) and video. Then there are the numerous social differences. For instance, the myth of the universal traditional two-parent family is not as secure as it was in the fifties and sixties, and the comedies of the different eras reflect changes in its status � although even early comedies of the widow/widower happy fifties, sixties and seventies were full of non-traditional families, such as are found in The Partridge Family, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Julia, The Jerry van Dyke Show, Family Affair, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, The Andy Griffith Show, The Brady Bunch, Bachelor Father, and My Little Margie. Also, one may note the ways in which issues such as race have received different treatments over the decades.
But, I would like to concentrate on a deeper transformation: today's comedies, at least most of them, are funny in different ways from those of decades past. In both texture and substance the comedy of The Simpsons and Seinfeld is worlds apart from the comedy of Leave it to Beaver and The Jack Benny Show, and is even vastly different from much more recent comedies, such as Mash and Maude. First, today's comedies tend to be highly quotational: many of today's comedies essentially depend on the device of referring to or quoting other works of popular culture. Second, they are hyper-ironic: the flavor of humor offered by today's comedies is colder, based less on a shared sense of humanity than on a sense of world-weary cleverer-than-thou-ness. In this essay I would like to explore the way in which The Simpsons uses both quotationalism and hyper-ironism and relate these devices to currents in the contemporary history of ideas.
Quotationalism
Television comedy has never completely foregone the pleasure of using pop culture as a straight-man. However, early instances of quotation tended to be opportunistic; they did not comprise the substance of the genre. Hence, in sketch comedy, one would find occasional references to popular culture in Wayne and Shuster and Johnny Carson, but these references were really treated as just one more source of material. The roots of quotationalism as a main source of material can be found in the early seventies with the two visionary comedies, Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, which lampooned soap eras by being an ongoing soap opera, and Fernwood 2Night, which, as a small-budget talk show, took on small-bud.
La palabra Leasing proviene del inglés y es posible traducirla como “arrendamiento financiero”. Por Leasing se comprende un contrato realizado entre dos partes, compuestas por un arrendador financiero y un arrendatario financiero.
El contrato de Leasing consiste en que el arrendatario financiero obtiene el derecho al uso de cierto bien que ha sido proveído por el arrendador financiero a cambio del pago de rentas periódicas.
La utilización de dicho bien por parte del arrendatario tiene un plazo establecido en el contrato, que al momento de cumplirse le permite escoger entre varias opciones, entre las que puede devolver el bien, así como también renovar el contrato para continuar arrendándolo por un período de tiempo que, usualmente, es más corto al anteriormente establecido. Existe una última opción que consiste en comprar el bien a un precio residual, es decir, adquirirlo al monto calculado a partir de la diferencia obtenida entre el precio original en el que arrendador adquirió el bien (en el que se incluyen a demás los intereses y gastos asociados al uso del bien) y las sumas de dinero que el arrendatario ha ido aportando a través de la renta.
Fundamentalmente, existen 2 tipos de leasing, entre los que encontramos el Leasing Financiero. Para que un contrato de leasing se defina como tal el arrendador deberá traspasar la propiedad del bien en cuestión al arrendatario, y debe además considerarse que la duración del contrato de arriendo debe ser a lo menos de un 75% de la vida económica del bien. Por último, como se ha mencionado anteriormente, el arrendatario, si así lo requiere, podrá adquirir el bien, devolverlo o bien renovar el contrato.
Encontramos también el Leasing Operativo que consiste en un contrato en el que el período de arriendo del bien se realiza por períodos más cortos, y donde además, el arrendatario tiene la opción de devolverlo en el momento que le parezca más adecuado, sin aviso previo. Se trata de un contrato mucho más flexible, y es esta la razón de que este tipo de contrato sea el más utilizado.
Como podemos ver las ventajas del leasing son variadas, sin embargo, la más importante consistiría en la posibilidad de obtener determinado bien aún sin contar con el monto de dinero total necesario para su compra. A través del leasing es posible obtenerlo y darle uso a través del establecimiento de un contrato (con posibilidades de adquirirlo) con un arrendador que lo compra y a quien se le debe pagar una renta a cambio de su préstamo. Como un ejemplo, el leasing en la actualidad se ofrece en algunos lugares para adquirir automóviles, con la opción de compra o recambio por un modelo más nuevo pasados un par de años. Puede ser bastante conveniente, dependiendo del caso.
Here is a rare homage to the art of classic 2–D animation and the time–honored method of hand–drawing characters that come alive on the silver screen. The creator of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama," reveals the art of brilliant character design, backgrounds, and prop art in this lavishly detailed handbook that unveils the complex secrets behind the deceptively simple and universally loved Simpsons characters. With creative insights, artists' sketches, helpful insider hints, and step–by–step instructions, enter the imagination of "master doodler" Matt Groening and receive some professional "how–to" advice from many of the animators and directors who have made "The Simpsons" the longest–running animated show and situation comedy in television history. In our technological era when animation has become increasingly digitalized, this unique handbook records the genesis of some of the most extraordinary examples of the art of hand–drawn animated characters.
Los productos colombianos del sector alimentos que tienen un papel relevante en el mercado japonés son: Pescados, Carnes de Cerdo, Vinos Embotellados, Uvas, Limones.
Por otro lado, existen otros productos con potencialidad, como por ejemplo: Filetes de Merluza Congelados, Salmones Ahumados, Ostiones, Mero, Cerezas Frescas, Naranjas, Papayas, Nueces, Ciruelas Secas, Pasas, Quesos, Aceite de Oliva, Cecinas, Paltas, Miel, Vinagres, Guayabas y sus derivados.
Dada la recuperación que ya se observa en la economía japonesa, es ahora el momento en que debemos intensificar las misiones comerciales de promoción de nuestros productos, siendo la Semana Colombiana, un evento que nos permitirá fortalecer el posicionamiento de nuestra oferta exportable, mediante la exhibición de nuestros productos, la realización de reuniones de negocios bilaterales, seminarios temáticos, así como la difusión de estas actividades en los medios de prensa japoneses.
Japón es un mercado excepcional para los exportadores de alimentos, considerando que importa anualmente la suma de US$ 60,5 billones en este tipo de productos, sin embargo, la crisis internacional hizo que estas importaciones se vieran afectadas. El mercado japonés privilegia las relaciones de largo plazo con sus contrapartes comerciales, y le da una gran importancia a la calidad de los productos, así como a la contribución que estos hacen en beneficio de la salud de las personas. Hay que destacar igualmente, que el factor precio ha adquirido relevancia durante este período de crisis.
La recuperación económica japonesa, y por ende del consumo de las personas en Japón, contribuirá a un crecimiento en las exportaciones de alimentos a este país. Colombia, en el intertanto deberá consolidar el posicionamiento de aquellos productos que han tenido un comportamiento positivo, y asimismo fortalecer el ingreso de aquellos otros que tienen potencialidad.

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar cómo las Mipymes colombianas pueden acceder al mercado de valores y beneficiarse así de las ventajas que antes eran exclusivas para las grandes empresas, identificando algunos aspectos de índole legal, normativo, económico y financiero que faciliten el acceso de estas sociedades al mercado bursátil del país, y que a su vez se busque considerar y mitigar aquellos factores que dificultan el acceso de las mismas a crédito de bajo costo con el fin de financiar sus proyectos de corto, mediano y largo plazo.
En este contexto, se entrará a estudiar el Mercado Alternativo Bursátil, tomando como referencia a España, centrándonos entonces, en identificar cómo funciona el mercado de valores de España y Colombia, cómo es la regulación financiera actual en cada país, qué actores se involucran y cuáles son los esfuerzos de los gobiernos para facilitar la entrada de las Pymes en este tipo de mercados y qué tan interesadas y preparadas están las empresas y sus miembros para acceder a este tipo de financiamiento, además de la disposición de los inversores ante el riesgo que presentaría financiar proyectos de sociedades de bajo capital.
Para finalizar, los resultados permitirán determinar principalmente la viabilidad que tienen las empresas pequeñas y medianas en Colombia para acceder al mercado de valores, identificando aquellas experiencias satisfactorias como es el caso del Mercado Alternativo Bursátil en España, haciendo especial énfasis en aquellas medidas que han favorecido a este tipo de empresas para acceder a capital de bajo costo y formulando medidas complementarias para favorecer y estimular el acceso de las Mipymes a la Bolsa de Valores de Colombia.

2. The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for
the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series is a satirical depiction of working-class
life epitomized by The Simpson family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa,
and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield and
parodies American culture, society, television, and the human condition.
3. MATTHEW ABRAHAM “MATT” GROENING
• He was born on February 15th, 1954 in Portland, Oregon,
U.S.
• He is an American cartoonist, writer, producer, animator,
and voice actor.
• He is the creator of the comic strip “Life in Hell” (1977 –
2012) and the televisión series “The Simpsons” (1989 –
present) and “Futurama” (1999 – 2003, 2008 – 2013).
• Groening has won 12 Primetime Emmy Awards, ten for The
Simpsons and two for Futurama as well as a British Comedy
Award for "outstanding contribution to comedy" in 2004.
In 2002, he won the National Cartoonist Society Reuben
Award for his work on Life in Hell. He received a star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 14, 2012.
4. Matt created The Simpsons in
just fifteen minutes, perhaps
without thinking they would
become one of the most
celebrated families in the world.
The Simpsons began to be
emitted initially on April 19th,
1987 in a species of shorts that
only lasted two minutes. From
1989 they began to have their
own space.
5. The Simpsons uses the standard setup of a situational comedy, or sitcom, as its
premise. The series centers on a family and their life in a typical American town,
serving as a satirical parody of a middle class American lifestyle.
By having Homer work in a nuclear power plant, the show can comment on the state
of the environment. Through Bart and Lisa's days at Springfield Elementary School, the
show's writers illustrate pressing or controversial issues in the field of education. The
town features a vast array of media channels, which enables the producers to make
jokes about themselves and the entertainment industry.
The show portrays government and large corporations as callous entities that take
advantage of the common worker. In The Simpsons, politicians are corrupt, ministers
such as Reverend Lovejoy are indifferent to churchgoers, and the local police force is
incompetent. Religion also figures as a recurring theme. In times of crisis, the family
often turns to God, and the show has dealt with most of the major religions.
6. Springfield is a fictional area and its name is inspired by the street where the creator's
home was located. Although The Simpson family is not based on the Matt Groening’s
family, their names are: Matt's father and son are called Homer, his mother's name is
Margaret, and the names of his little sisters are Lisa and Maggie. Bart is the modification of
the word "brat", which in Spanish means “mocoso". Other characters such as Chief
Wiggum, are inspired by names of some streets where Groening grew up.
7. The Simpsons are a family who live in a fictional
"Middle American" town of Springfield.Homer,
the father, works as a safety inspector at
the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, a position
at odds with his careless, buffoonish
personality. He is married to Marge Simpson,
a stereotypical American housewife and
mother. They have three children: Bart, a ten-
year-old troublemaker; Lisa, a precocious eight-
year-old activist; and Maggie, the baby of the
family who rarely speaks, but communicates by
sucking on a pacifier. The family owns a
dog, Santa's Little Helper, and a cat, Snowball
V, renamed Snowball II in "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-
Bot". Both pets have had starring roles in
several episodes.
8. The Simpsons received widespread critical acclaim
throughout its first nine or ten seasons, which are
generally considered its "Golden Age". Time named
it the 20th century's best television series, and Erik
Adams of The A.V. Club named it "television's
crowning achievement regardless of format". On
January 14, 2000, the Simpson family was awarded a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It has won
dozens of awards since it debuted as a series,
including 31 Primetime Emmy Awards, 30 Annie
Awards, and a Peabody Award. Homer's
exclamatory catchphrase "D'oh!" has been adopted
into the English language, while The Simpsons has
influenced many adult-oriented animated sitcoms.
Despite this, the show has also been criticized for
what many perceive as a decline in quality over the
years.
9. MATT GROENING REVEALED HOW THE
SIMPSONS CAN PREDICT FUTURE EVENTS
What prophecies have made The Simpsons famous?
• The attack on the Twin Towers of the year 2001.
• The plane crash of the Chapecoense football team.
• The injury of a French athlete at the Rio Olympic
Games.
• The election of Donald Trump as President of the
United States.
• Neymar's World Cup injury.
Matt replied:
"Do you think it's a coincidence or do we really have magic in our studio? It's not all it seems ..."
“Do you remember that episode of 2000 in which we put Donald Trump as president? We really did it because
it was a rather ridiculous hypothetical situation, but it did come true! ", He said to BBC News.
