Abstract:

The Rape of the Lock is one of the best examples of mock-epic or mock-heroic poems written in English History. It is an imitation of Horatian satire, written in the Eighteenth-Century by Alexander Pope, in which he uses irony, sarcasm, and exaggeration to expose follies and vanities of the aristocratic or upper class in England in an undignified and grandiose manner. Written in heroic couplets about a trivial subject matter, the poet juxtaposes the trivial world of the upper class with the heroic deeds mentioned in the classical epics. This paper navigates the epic allusions used in The Rape o

Abstract:

O Almada, mock-epic poem written by Machado de Assis, proposes a‘theory’ of this ‘difficult’ genre, within a literary program that wouldmean the invention of a first example of mock-epic poetry in Brazilianliterature. Machado’s proposal implies that the mock-epic looses referentiality;otherwise put, undergoes a process of anesthetization. This aesthetic autonomy,however, would signify the universalization of a textual phenomenology of “twofamous compositions that served as models, but are not truly inimitable”. In myarticle I elaborate on how Machado de Assis reads the mock-epic tradition,Boil

Abstract:

Abstract Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Hebrew underwent a process of revival. Despite the growing stratification of the language, literary translations into Hebrew were governed by a norm which dictated the use of an elevated style rooted in ancient Hebrew texts. This norm persisted at least until the 1960s. Motivated by the Hebrew tradition of employing the elevated style to produce the mock-epic, translators created mock-epic works independently of the source texts. This article describes the creation of the mock-epic in canonized and non canonized adult and children's literature

Abstract:

The decades between 1730 and 1770 witnessed the publication of a large number of mock-heroic epic poems, in many cases inspired by Alexander Pope’s The Rape of the Lock (1712–1717). One of the most successful products of this trend was Friedrich Wilhelm Zachariä’s Der Renommiste (1744). The article attempts to show that Zachariä’s poem, in addition to using the constitutive contrasts of mock-heroic for comic effects, also displays a critical attitude towards traditional ideals of heroism.

I determine the metrically secure forms, discuss previous scholarship on the meaning of the augment in epic Greek, and then proceed to the actual analysis.

Abstract:

Reviewers of Douglas Adams’s “Hitchhiker” novels have accurately noted that his works do not conform to any of the usual definitions of SF. One useful way of discussing these works is to regard them as examples of mock SF, analogous in form and function to the mock epic. Adams’s novels employ many of the conventional plot devices of SF—exotic hardware, strange life forms, narrow escapes. But at every turn the conventions are used to frustrate rather than fulfill the reader’s normal expectations of what should happen in the genre. For example, Adams’s hero, Arthur, is a bungler who repeatedly e

This article compares the techniques of observation and experimentation (“esperienze”) practiced by members of the Accademia del Cimento with the “pure imitation of truth” pursued by Florentine painter Lorenzo Lippi (1606–1665). Lippi’s art reveals striking parallels between developments in the fine arts and the sciences in seventeenth-century Florence, particularly in their moral commitment towards the truthful representation of nature and a matter-of-fact style of representation. Despite these parallels, it is interesting to note that in his mock-epic Il Malmantile Racquistato, Lippi parodie

Dedicated to the young Octavian (Octaui in line 1), the poem seems to fill a biographical gap in Virgil's career before his composition of the Eclogues.

The shift opened up a critical dispute concerning the relative importance of the Aristotelian categories of character and action in literature.

Many attempts have been made to resolve the problem, but few persuade to any degree. This paper proposes that the key to the unity-question lies in Catullus’ adoption of the rare priapean metre.

Abstract:

Juvenal's third satire is a privileged piece of verbal diarrhoea. As the longest satire in Juvenal's well-attended Book 1, as the centre of this book, and as the one Juvenalian jewel that sparkles ‘non-rhetorically’, it has always been the critics’ darling. Its protagonist, on the other hand, has not always been so popular. Recently, reader sympathy for old Umbricius (the poem's main speaker) has shifted to laughter in his face; the old sense of ‘pathetic’ has ceded to the new. One of the central strategies of the ‘Umbricius-as-caricature’ camp has been to point to the overtime worked by ‘mock

Abstract:

259 Background: In April 2021, it was found that 35% of our breast cancer patients seen in the breast surgery and medical oncology clinics had no financial coverage leading to significant financial toxicity at Parkland Memorial Hospital, a safety net hospital for Dallas county in Texas. In addition, only 8% of all our breast cancer patients were financially screened in April 2021. We aimed to increase pre-visit phone calls to financially screen patients within a week of their subsequent visit with a provider from a baseline rate of 8% to 20% for all breast cancer patients in hopes of capturing

Abstract We implemented the KAER toolkit in the University of Washington primary care clinics. In this session we share the workflows implemented to promote the KAER model and share the tools we developed within EPIC, the system's electronic medical record (EMR). We collaborated with clinic staff to develop interdisciplinary workflows including: training patient service representatives, social workers, nurses, and medical assistants (MAs) about 'red flags;' training medical assistants to complete the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA); and assuring th

Abstract:

In the medieval romances single combat was the knightly norm. The Italian chivalric epics sought to adapt this convention to the ideals of the Renaissance courtier. In Il Cortegiano, Frederico Fregoso explains “that where the Courtyer is at skirmishe, or assault, or battaile upon the land, or in such other places of enterprise, he ought to worke the matter wisely in seperating himself from the multitude, and undertake his notable and bould feates which he hath to doe, with as little company as he can.“’ But such displays of panache had little place in the massed infantry tactics that dominated

Abstract:

The parodical nature of the Satyricon has not to be proved anymore : Petronius strives to satirize a number of serious genres, and to mock their specific rhetoric and their sublime representation of reality. The narrative of Encolpius’ encounter with a young woman (Sat. 126-128) is an interesting illustration of this systematic process of reversal that the author imposes to the literary Models. Petronius masters indeed all the codes of the first meeting scene, and those of the epico-elegiac lover discourse. But he enjoys appropriating this literary topos comically in order to turn it away : th

Abstract:

Illness narratives are stories that focus on, or are inspired by, the sometimes life-altering experience of illness. Most narrative constructions of these illness experiences are built upon one of three broad narrative “skeletons.” One skeletal subform, the romantic/warrior narrative, is critiqued by comedian Norm Macdonald in a humorous anecdote that mocks the expectation that cancer patients must wage an epic and heroic battle against their pernicious cancer to have a chance to survive. Macdonald explicates that such a mentality produces heroes and villains, winners and losers, and places ad

Abstract:

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Currently, FDA-approved monoclonal antibody therapies are limited to infants and young children with severe RSV disease. As a result, there is an urgent need for comprehensive studies of RSV pathogenesis to support the development of new therapeutic strategies. Exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP (EPAC) have recently emerged as key regulators in various viral infections. Our previous work identified EPAC isoform 2 (EPAC2) as a critic
