If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech it would be Judy." Amy SchumerFrom award-winning comedian Judy Gold a concise funny and thoughtful polemic on the current assault on comedy that explores how it is undermining free speech and a fundamental attack against the integrity of the art.From Mae West and Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor and Howard Stern to Kathy Griffith and Kevin Hart comedians have long been under fire for using provocative often taboo subjects to challenge mores and get a laugh. But in the age of social media comedians are at greater risk of being silenced enduring shaming threats and damaged careers because of angry censorious electronic mobs. But while comedians work has often been used to rile up detractors a new threat has emerged from the left: identity politics and notions like "safetyism" and trigger warnings that are now creating a cultural and political standard that runs perilously close to censorship. From college campuses to the Oscars comics are being censured for old jokes long-standing comedy traditions unfinished bits and old material that instead of being forgotten go viral. For comics like Judy Gold today s attacks on comics would have Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce "rolling in their graves." "No one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about. Do you tell artists what they can or cannot paint" she asks. Freedom of speech is fundamental for great stand-up comedy. Humor is the most palatable way to discuss a subversive or taboo topic but it better be funny. A comic's observations are deliberately delivered to entertain provoke and lead to an exchange of ideas. "We are truth tellers." More important the tolerance of free speech is essential for a healthy democracy.In addition to offering readers a quick study on the history of comedy and the arts noting such historical reference points as The Hays Code and the threats to them Gold takes readers on a hilarious ride with chapters such as "Thank God Don Rickles is Dead" as well as her singular take on "micro-aggressions" such as:Person: "OMG! You re a lesbian I had no idea. I mean you wear make-up. When did you become a lesbian"Judy Gold: "Coincidently right after I met you!" micro-assault!In this era of "fake news" partisan politics and heated rhetoric the need to protect free speech has never been greater especially for comics who often serve as the canaries in the coalmine monitoring the health of our democracy. Yes I Can Say That is a funny and provocative look at how safe spaces are the very antithesis of comedy as an art form and an urgent call to arms to protect our most fundamental Constitutional right. There's a good reason it was the FIRST amendment.</p> HarperCollins B and Blackstone Publishing hardcover

22058401Tokyo 1930-34 Watanabe . Otanzaku oblong color woodprint 32.2 x 107 cm. very good faint center fold artist cinnabar red seal exceptionally clean a bright copy obscure work seldom found excellent registry & impression. RARE EXAMPLE! . . . . AN OBSCURE EVENING VIEW OF YANAGI BASHI IN TOKYO . . . A "OTANZAKU" OBLONG PRINT FORMAT . . . BY "SEKI" . This "shadow" print was done after dark at the famous Yanagi Bashi Willow Bridge in Tokyo. . This fine print shows two willow trees along the river with the bridge in the foreground. A Kimono-clad Japanese woman holds a lantern to light the way as she walks towards the bridge. . A tall bamboo fire-watchtower is outlined against the dark grey-black sky that gradually goes into a deep green as it touches the earth. . Several small houses show lighted windows their lights reflect on the river waters. . A single lonely lantern post marks the entrance where the bridge begins. . Another similar bridge is visible in the background on this moonless night. . ARTIST SEAL & TITLE: The artist's name is not found on the print. There is however a title written in two black Kanji reading "Yanagi Bashi." Printed over the title is the artist's red cinnabar Hanko/seal/chop reading "Seki." Found at the bottom center of the print. . "Seki" is an elusive artist who is not listed in a the usual standard reference resources on the period and genre of Shin Hanga examples. . WHO WAS SEKI: This artist and name are a complete mystery and there are no references to him in the record. This may very well be a spuriously used name to hide the true identity of a plagiarizer seeking to take advantage of the famous Shotei. If any reader of this listing has more information on him we would be very grateful to hear from you. An alternate reading of Seki Kanji is "Kan." . The artwork is similar to and reminiscent of Tsuchida KOITSU 1870-1949 who was master of the dusk evening and night prints. . His skill is unquestioned when it comes to drawing and painting such difficult scenes. The overall effect is stunning and skillful his use of dark colors produces a true-to-life image of dusk and evenings. Very few artists could portray such difficult scenes at this level of expertise. . The subject of this print Yanagi Bashi is quite similar in construction to another "OTANZAKU" size by Takahashi Shotei Hiroaki found in Stephens. See our example book number 220585 posted to our website under the same author's name. . In this example the bridge is reminiscent of the Yanagi Bashi or the other unnamed bridge in the background of our example. See Stephens below. . CONDITION: This unusual size print oblong print has excellent impression and registry. There is as usual a mild center fold common to "OTANZAKU" prints of this grand length of 32.2 cm. . The verso is very clean with ample "Baren" marks a fresh clean & obscure example. . Color scans are posted to our website. . REFERENCES: .

China: 1807.<br/> <br/> A rare and important edition of this notable text; the sixth volume contains the valuable commentary and notes of Dunren Zhang 1754-1834 Qing scholar mathematician historian and book collector.<br/> <br/> After the death of Emperor Wu in 87 B.C. his successor summoned to the capital scholars from throughout the empire to discuss the most important problems of the day. Emperor Wu had “implemented a series of centralized economic measures to support his territorial expansion particularly to sustain wars with Xiongnu a confederation of nomadic tribes from Central Asia. For example the state monopolized salt iron and liquor industries; operated nationwide transportation facilities; and ran retail businesses. After the emperor died the new emperor gathered his officials and more than sixty Confucian literati to reassess these measures. The consultation turned into a lengthy debate not only on economic issues but also on topics such as agriculture border defense diplomacy legality and Confucianism…<br/> <br/> “The debate was later reconstructed under the title Yan tie fan by a Confucian bureaucrat-scholar Huan Kuan who consulted both living debaters and the historical record. The text delineates the debate in sixty episodes spanning over several days. In each episode the debaters focus on a specific issue that emerges during the debate.†You “Building Empire through Argumentation†369.<br/> <br/> As a result of the debates the monopolies on salt and iron were briefly abolished but were soon resumed only to be abolished again after the overthrow of Emperor Wang Mang in 23 A.D.<br/> <br/> “The text of this book the Yantielun has been brought in the shape of a dialogue between the opponents. Except the state monopolies the text also touches political questions of the time like the power of the nomad federation of the Xiongnu in the north or the general style of politics as a ‘rule of the law’ versus ‘rule by virtue.’ Huan Kuan’s book is an important document about the internal discussions about political affairs during the Former Han period" ChinaKnowledge.de online.<br/> <br/> Fine set preserved in a slightly worn hantao.<br/> <br/> <br /> <br> <br> References<br /> <br> <br> ChinaKnowledge.de<br /> <br> <br> Wagner Donald B.
