Abstract:
On 13 October 2012, Lenny Bruce, had he not accidentally overdosed on narcotics (or committed suicide – the jury is still out on that one), would be eighty-seven years old. It is, of course, a thoroughly incredible notion – like an octogenarian Mozart, a super annuated Janis Joplin, or James Dean signing up for a senior citizen pension. Poètes maudits, doomed rock icons, and self-destructive superstars are supposed to die young. Their myth demands it, and we wouldn't have it any other way.Bruce at forty-one, perched on a toilet bowl with a spike in his right arm and his last typed words (‘cons

Abstract:
In the parlance of the time he was known as a “sick comedian.” He was also called a junkie, a hipster, a satirist, a shaman, a free-speech martyr, “a disease of America,” “a nightclub Cassandra,” and a prophet. But Lenny Bruce, the caustic comedian who gained a following in the late 1950s and early 1960s, called himself something else: a deviate. “All my humor is based on destruction and despair,” he said. “If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing on the breadline.”

Abstract:
This paper will disscuse the development of religiosity in the Westillustrated by Lenny Bruce that ‘every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’ The social phenomenon marked a paradigmatic shift that is very significant in religiosity awareness. The paper will also examine the development of spiritual stretching the Western secular society which is reflected in New Age Movement and New Religion Movements.

Abstract:
This essay explores the questionable potency of satire in the light of Richard Nixon's political rehabilitation. Following a discussion of satirical treatments from the 1940s to the 1980s by, among others, the cartoonists Herbert Block (‘Herblock’) and Garry Trudeau, the comedians Mort Sahl and Lenny Bruce, and writers including Philip Roth and Robert Coover, I examine one work extensively – Kurt Vonnegut's Jailbird (1979) – as a disquisition on satiric impotence, setting that novel in the context of the comedic firepower that had been directed at Nixon since the dawn of his political career a

Abstract:
Peut-on rire de tout ? Lenny Bruce (1925-1966) est le premier humoriste à parler de religion, de drogue, de racisme et de sexualité sur scène. Le premier également à être traîné devant les tribunaux pour ses propos. Bruce, Bedos et Desproges répondent par l'affirmative, sans jamais oublier leur nez rouge, en s'efforçant de faire monter le public sur scène et non de caresser ses instincts. Bruce sert dans la marine américaine pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et voit les corps flotter près du bateau et les soldats plus souvent atteints par les morpions que par les balles.

Abstract:
Several major American Jewish scholars and intellectuals have addressed the vitality and the pertinence of Jewish humor, seeing in it an entrée not only into key characteristics of communal life but also into the texture of reality itself. These academicians and critics have exposed the encounter between stand-up comedy and the social and political peculiarities of Jewish life in the United States. No comedian attracted more sustained attention than Lenny Bruce, whose career enlarged the contours of what could explored in night clubs and on long-playing records. Perhaps no satirist took greater risks, or exposed himself to greater legal danger, in both subject matter and in language. No predecessor was more willing to flaunt his own Jewish sensibility, or to present with such cynicism the hypocrisies inherent in the codes of conduct by which respectable America professed to live—which is what made Bruce the object of serious interest.
