James and Dieter discuss satire&#8217;s limitations and paradoxes, as well as the distinctions between satire and mockery. The podcast also covers Dieter&#8217;s new research on satire and mental health.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8216;[<em>The Simpsons<\/em>] was television about television. It was mocking other television; it was quite clever about being different from other kinds of television&#8217;, says Dieter. &#8216;I think, for a lot of reasons it&#8217;s an important television show. For me it&#8217;s because of the satirical worldview, going against the establishment at the time. I think for a teenager who&#8217;s in a Catholic school in Belgium, not having a very good time, that was really important&#8217;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To listen to the episode, and others in the series, please see the page here:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/audioboom.com\/posts\/7322154-newton-talks-4-dieter-declercq-satire-and-the-simpsons\">https:\/\/audioboom.com\/posts\/7322154-newton-talks-4-dieter-declercq-satire-and-the-simpsons<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest instalment of Newton Talks, a podcast project by Dr James Newton, Lecturer in Media Studies, has just been published.
