Lyrebird. Taxonomy and systematics[edit] Lyrebirds were thought to be Galliformes like the broadly similar looking partridge, junglefowl, and pheasants that Europeans were familiar with, and this was reflected in the early names the Superb Lyrebird had, including Native Pheasant. They were also called Peacock-wrens and Australian Birds-of-paradise. The idea that they were related to the pheasants was abandoned when the first chicks, which are altricial, were described. They were not placed with the passerines until a paper was published in 1840, 12 years after they were first placed in their own family, Menuridae. Within that family they are placed in a single genus, Menura.[3] It is generally accepted that the lyrebird family is most closely related to the scrub-birds (Atrichornithidae) and some authorities combine both in a single family, but evidence that they are also related to the bowerbirds remains controversial.[4] Species[edit] There are two extant species of lyrebird: Description[edit]
Manic Pixie Dream Girl. The "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" has been compared to another stock character, the "Magical Negro", a black character who seems to exist only to provide spiritual or mystical help to the (white) protagonist. In both cases, the stock character has no discernible inner life, and usually only exists to provide the protagonist some important life lessons.[3] Examples[edit] Counterexamples[edit] Kate Winslet's character Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind acknowledges the trope of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl and rejects the type, in a remark to Jim Carrey's Joel: "Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. Although Zooey Deschanel's Summer is often identified as an MPDG, the movie can be seen as a deconstruction of the trope because it shows the dangers of idealizing women.

Hipster. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Hipster (branchouille) est un terme des années 1940 qui désignait à l'origine les amateurs de jazz et en particulier du bebop qui devint populaire dans ces années-là. Le hipster adoptait le mode de vie du musicien de jazz, notamment la manière de se vêtir, l'argot, l'usage de drogues, l'attitude détendue (« cool »), l'humour sarcastique, la pauvreté de rigueur et des codes de conduite sexuelle libre. Les premiers hipsters étaient généralement de jeunes blancs qui adoptaient le style des noirs urbains de l'époque.
Ceux qui vinrent ensuite ne connaissaient pas forcément l'origine culturelle de ce mode de vie. Le mot semble avoir aujourd'hui une connotation légèrement négative, mais les hipsters eux mêmes tendent toujours à se nommer fièrement ainsi. Origine du terme[modifier | modifier le code] Style de vie du hipster des années 1940-1950[modifier | modifier le code] L'auteur Frank Tirro, dans son livre Jazz, définit le hipster ainsi : Gentrification. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La gentrification (anglicisme créé à partir de gentry, « petite noblesse »[1]) est un phénomène urbain par lequel des arrivants plus aisés s'approprient un espace initialement occupé par des habitants ou usagers moins favorisés, transformant ainsi le profil économique et social du quartier au profit exclusif d'une couche sociale supérieure.
Ce néologisme est employé pour la première fois par la sociologue Ruth Glass (en) dans son ouvrage London: aspects of change[2], étudiant le phénomène à Londres dans les années 1960. Profil social d'un quartier[modifier | modifier le code] Le quartier de Harlem à New York, anciennement un ghetto afro-américain défavorisé, aujourd'hui en reconquête par les classes aisées qui le rénovent et se l'approprient.
Analyse sociologique[modifier | modifier le code] Commerces et gentrification[modifier | modifier le code] La gentrification comprend aussi une dimension commerciale. Voir aussi[modifier | modifier le code] Valley girl. Valley girl is a stereotype depicting a socio-economic class of white women characterized by the colloquial California English dialect Valleyspeak and vapid materialism. The term originally referred to an ever increasing swell of semi-affluent and affluent middle-class and upper-middle class girls living in the early 1980s Los Angeles bedroom communities of the San Fernando Valley.[1] In time the traits and behaviors spread across the United States and Canada, metamorphosing into a caricature of unapologetically spoiled "ditzes" and "airheads" more interested in shopping, personal appearance and social status than intellectual development or personal accomplishment.[2] Sociolect[edit] In popular culture[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit]
