In celebration of The Simpsons thirtieth anniversary, the show's longest-serving writer and producer offers a humorous look at the writing and making of the legendary Fox series that has become one of the most revered artistic achievements in television history.
Four-time Emmy winner Mike Reiss--who has worked on The Simpsons continuously since episode one in 1989--shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America's most iconic cartoon family ever. Reiss explains how the episodes are created, and provides an inside look at the show's writers, animators, actors and celebrity guests. He answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and die-hards, and reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes.
In his freewheeling, irreverent comic style, Reiss reflects on his lifetime inside The Simpsons--a personal highlights reel of his achievements, observations, and favorite stories. Springfield Confidential exposes why Matt Groening decided to make all of the characters yellow; dishes on what it's like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers sixty hours a week; and tells what Reiss learned after traveling to seventy-one countries where The Simpsons is watched (ironic note: there's no electricity in many of these places); and even reveals where Springfield is located He features unique interviews with Judd Apatow, who also provided the foreword, and Conan O'Brien, as well as with Simpsons legends Al Jean, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, and more.
Like Cary Elwes' As You Wish, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's Seinfeldia, and Chris Smith's The Daily Show: An Oral History, Springfield Confidential is a funny, informational, and exclusive look at one of the most beloved programs in all of television land.

Автор: Matthias Reiss Название: Controlling Sex in Captivity: POWs and Sexual Desire in the United States during the Second World War ISBN: 1350145734 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350145733 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 35890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Controlling Sex in Captivity is the first book to examine the nature, extent and impact of the sexual activities of Axis prisoners of war in the United States during the Second World War. Historians have so far interpreted the interactions between captors and captives in America as the beginning of the post-war friendship between the United States, Germany and Italy. Matthias Reiss argues that this paradigm is too simplistic. Widespread fraternisation also led to sexual relationships which created significant negative publicity, and some Axis POWs got caught up in the U.S. Army’s new campaign against homosexuals.By focusing on the fight against fraternisation and same-sex activities, this study treads new ground. It stresses that contact between captors and captives was often loaded with conflict and influenced by perceptions of gender and race. It highlights the transnational impact of fraternisation and argues that the prisoners’ sojourn in the United States also influenced American society by fuelling a growing concern about social disintegration and sexual deviancy, which eventually triggered a conservative backlash after the war.
In dieser Anthologie entdecken Kunsthistoriker und Kulturwissenschaftler von beiden Seiten des Atlantiks das vielschichtige, weitgehend unbekannte Werk von Winold Reiss (1886–1953) wieder und erschlie?en damit ein neues Archiv der multikulturellen Moderne. Der deutsch-amerikanische Maler, Grafiker und Designer suchte zeitlebens, die Kluft zwischen den "schonen Kunsten" und der angewandten kommerziellen Kunst zu uberwinden, indem er durch seinen innovativen Einsatz von Form und Farbe die amerikanische Kunstszene ebenso in Aufruhr brachte wie die Innenarchitektur. In seinen Portrats gelingt es Reiss auf faszinierende Weise, die ethnische Vielfalt der USA und Wurde der Menschen zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Seine spezifische Verbindung von kultureller Diversitat, Primitivismus und Ethnizitat war nicht uberall geschatzt.
