Descubra o que o Pernalonga tem a ver com a cultura judaica popular neste artigo de Benjamin Ivry


"On Bugs Bunny’s 80th birthday, how Jewish is that wascally wabbit anyway?" by Benjamin Ivry         July 26, 2020

A voz original de Pernalonga (Bugs Bunny) era da grande personalidade do rádio Mel Blanc (1908-1989), de origem judaico-russa.
Além de vários detalhes históricos relacionados com o adorável personagem de animação, você também verá outros como a inspiração em personagem interpretado por Clark Gable roendo cenouras em "It Happened One Night" (1934).

A propósito, para os que ainda não entenderam a razão das grafias com 'w' nas palavras 'wabbit' (rabbit) e 'wascally' (rascally), ou seja o 'coelho malandro':
Trata-se de uma imitação de fala infantil do personagem Elmer Fudd que o persegue nos desenhos, o que podemos notar também no título deste outro artigo de Cindy Johnston também muito interessante sobre o assunto:

Descrição da obra no site:
"'What is the meaning of a word?' In this thought-provoking book, Hagberg demonstrates how this question—which initiated Wittgenstein's later work in the philosophy of language—is significant for our understanding not only of linguistic meaning but of the meaning of works of art and literature as well."

Excerto da descrição da obra dada pelo Amazon.com:

" ... Aristotle offers a conception of the private and its relationship to the public that suggests a remedy to the limitations of liberalism today, according to Judith A. Swanson. In this fresh and lucid interpretation of Aristotle's political philosophy, Swanson challenges the dominant view that he regards the private as a mere precondition to the public. She argues, rather, that for Aristotle private activity develops virtue and is thus essential both to individual freedom and happiness and to the well-being of the political order.
Swanson presents an innovative reading of The Politics which revises our understanding of Aristotle's political economy and his views on women and the family, slavery, and the relation between friendship and civic solidarity. ..."
