Teaser: Myth of the Month 24: The Epic of Gilgamesh -- pt. 2: Analysis
A randomly-chosen sample from the deepest most thorough analysis that you can find anywhere of the profoundly ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, on patreon for patrons only for one year:
We examine the Epic of Gilgamesh as a piece of literature, for its strange dream-like style and form, its points of similarity to Biblical and ancient Greek and European mythology, and finally, its deep levels of psychological and political allegory, ultimately revealing the love between Enkidu and Gilgamesh as a parable of the fraught relationship between civilization and the wild.

      They used staff notation like we do today. But people sometimes created their own idiosyncratic musical notation systems too. (like in Rossyln Chapel). It's an interesting point though I have no idea whether music phrasing would follow these patterns like Ziph's law.

    Saw a breakdown of the characters used in the script, and a frequency analysis, and apparently some characters only appear towards the end of lines of text on the page. This shouts out that the whole thing is decorative, and not a coded language. The 'text' is created for visual impact, without meaning. Obs the video went into it a great deal deeper than that! But it made a lot of sense to me. All the hours spent trying to decipher the 'text' could be just chasing rainbows - the 'words' are invented scribbles, meant to look nice - there is no meaning behind them at all.

They didn't out and out say what I said, but as soon as I saw that certain characters appearance depended on where they were ON THE PAGE, as opposed to some sort of typical distribution within the text, just said to me it was all entirely decorative.

    Love your analysis. I do miss that depth of analysis from my days studying literature and art history. It really helped me understand why it became my go to feel good movie. There is one thing I don't agree with though : I don't regard even the most painfully corny bits of the movie as flaws. I don't believe the movie would be better without them. Cornyness is also symbolism and a certain form of stylization, it is a shortcut to larger pool of meaning. People often look down on it cause it's often a lazy way (in romances) to say love instead of or in addition to showing it, so it can feel too much and superfluous. And cornyness is cliché, It feels paradoxically artificial and simultaneously painfully overly sincere (not unlike the character of Henry...) But I could argue it does a lot in the context of the movie : - Part of the overall balance : it occupies the forefront of the picture because it is obvious and loud but it opens the background to all sorts of depth and complexity without the overall tone becoming too somber and serious. I don't think it takes away anything from the movie, rather it enhances it. - ciments the movie in the tradition of romcoms while being also an opening to subverting some of it's codes. - it's fun, playful and cozy : it's qualities I often miss in other lgbt romances Admittedly I am a die hard fan of everything corny, cheesy and sappy and I'll never stop defending it.

    • @Historiansplaining
      @Historiansplaining 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you! I should be more precise -- when I say that parts of the movie are "corny" I am not thinking so much of the sappy parts, which I think are well-earned, but more the stilted, forced jokes, like "His Royal Hardness" and "I will Brexit Your Head from Your Body." And maybe Uma's accent.

As for Uma's accent I am totally seriously convinced it's a deliberate choice from her : it sounds fake and artificial because it's a commentary on how out of place some people think a woman in a position of power is. Or she just wanted to have fun with it wich I am also totally fine with it, also they might not have had the time nor the budget to hire a dialect coach for a side character.

    First and I am not fully disagreeing but is this slightly overstating these changes? The nobility did not disappear and their manorial rights were rarely challenged. Indeed in some occasions they were given authority over cities and towns.

    • @Historiansplaining
      @Historiansplaining 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, that's a debatable question. I would say that privileges like manorial rights were mostly not challenged until 1789, but those rights became less important than other sources of wealth and power, for which commoners could compete. Likewise, the right to sit in parlements & diets remained but they became less powerful vis-a-vis the Crown and administration; similarly, in England the House of Lords remained, but started to be eclipsed by the House of Commons.

I am aware that the Habsburgs created the bureaucracy to act as a break between the Nobility and peasants (Otherwise the same person owning your land is the person administering Justice.) Edit: "in the mid-to-late-1700s". This lasted until 1849. On the other hand I do know that the relative power of the Nobility and Crown ebbed and flowed as Louis XIV made Parlements under him which was lost when Louis XV took the Throne but then he also shut down Parlements (Of course the new Nobility are those in question but they hampered the collection of taxes from the Old Nobility also.).

It is also a fact that vikings got a lot of stuff from New Brunswick are acc. to chief archeologist of the Canadian excavation at confirmed viking site at Lance aux meadows, Birgitta Wallace. So it is not impossible with all this theories of trade, but look at google map. See the sailing routes we know they took. They went close to shores going south and when they see a beach where boats could be pulled up it seem to have been like a magnet to them. It is fascinating also to see how it seem to have gone politics in to this. Like in Canada there is a scepticism it seem to dig out sites where sign of norse presence has been. Because of land managements towards native people and so on. Kind of a not healthy thinking.

      This lecture is organized in two parts. The first deals with the origins and history of Irish Travellers in Ireland. The second deals with the origins and histories of the various interconnected traveller groups in Britain. The passage that you refer to is in the first part, and it specifically discusses Irish elites’ perceptions of the Irish Travellers during the Victorian era and early 20th century, including their mistaken belief that Travellers in Ireland originated from intermixture of Roma (or “gypsies”) with native Irish people. In fact, the Travellers originated in situ in Ireland. Roma are much less numerous in Ireland than in Britain or mainland Europe, and were even more rare before 1900. Travellers in Ireland have either little or no Romani ancestry. This is confirmed by the Travellers’ own oral histories, genealogical studies, genetic studies, and written and visual historical evidence. This lecture specifically does not say that Travellers and Roma never mixed in Ireland or in Britain-only that they rarely did so in Ireland, and that this very limited contact does not account for the origins of the Traveller community. This is accurate. This lecture cites multiple sources, some of them listed in the notes, which draw upon the Travellers’ own knowledge as well as modern research methods. In your comment, you take a statement in the lecture dealing with the Travellers’s origins in Ireland and misapply it to the traveller communities in England-an entirely different country-which are multivarious and intermixed. That is a very different situation, which the lecture discusses in detail in the second part. Every person has their own knowledge which they bring from their own experience. Also, every person of any nationality or ethnicity has the right to gather and present accurate historical facts based on rigorous research. I hope that you would listen fully to what others have to say, and weigh their sources and evidence, without leaping to conclusions based on their nationality or ethnicity. Thank you for listening!

    One thing Casey McQuiston said once was "A big part of what I wanted to accomplish with Alex and Henry was to show a mentally ill person being loved not despite their mental illness but in consideration of it as part of the whole of them." and that is such a meaningful message to me so I thought I'd share. I'm loving this series so far though, keep up the good work!

      You're right, that is so crucial to how Alex embraces Henry, and also, interestingly, you could also see the same sentiment as applying to Henry's embrace of Alex -- who has undiagnosed ADHD per Casey's comments to fans.

    Did you consider Moonlight in your review of "lgbtqa+" romance movies? It won the Oscar's Best Picture in 2017.

      I think it's a great movie and significant but I don't really think of it as a romance. I think that the through-line is Chiron's personal development.

      @@Historiansplaining Interesting given the ending, I don't see how it's not a romance.

    Even though I subscribed to this channel ages ago, the videos never appear in my feed. It's like the algorithm just doesn't promote this channel even to those who really like it, like me.
