From the slapstick comedy of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, the surrealism of Spike Milligan and Monty Python, and the golden age of political incorrectness helmed by Benny Hill, to the alternative scene that burst forth following the punk movement, the hedonistic joy of Absolutely Fabulous, the lacerating scorn of Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais, and Jo Brand and the meteoric rise of socially conscious stand up today: comedy can be many things, and it is a cultural phenomenon has come to define Britain like few others. In Different Times, David Stubbs charts the superstars that were in on the gags, the unsung heroes hiding in the wings and the people who ended up being the butt of the joke. Comedians and their work speak to and of their time, drawing upon and moulding Britons' relationship with their national history, reflecting us as a people, and, simply, providing raucous laughs for millions of people around the world. Different Times is a joyous, witty and insightful paean to British comedy.

Book excerpt: A brief thought that takes me back in time, to my 18 years and then forward again, to the 18 years of my first daughter: how many differences. My youth, friends, raids on mopeds, a low wall where you can sit in the evening and tell every story, the ever-present football, the desire to know and make new friends, the loves that blossomed during a village festival or a walk in the most important way. My daughter turns 18 today. Life is different, the difficulties are greater, economies are smaller, technology has invaded our existence but deep down we are a family and what we have around us will never affect the true values, the children of the past and the children of now do not they will never be different in the eyes of their parents.

Book Synopsis In Different Times by : Ian van der Waag

Download or read book In Different Times written by Ian van der Waag. This book was released on 2019-11-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first attempt to bring together diverse scholars, using different lenses, to study South Africa’s Border War. As a book, it is critical in approach, provides deeper reflection, and focuses specifically on the SADF experience of the war. The result is a more complex picture of the war’s dynamics and its legacies. Although South Africa is a vastly different country today, the study of the Border War opens a range of questions, also relevant to contemporary deployments such as in Lesotho (1998) and the Central African Republic (2013). It includes the debate on participation in foreign conflicts; on the deployment, design and preparation of appropriate, modern armed forces and their use as foreign policy instruments in far‑off theatres; on military planning; and, as the historical controversies regarding the battles at Cuito Cuanavale and Bangui illustrate, on the interface between foreign campaigning and domestic politics.
