Sidestreets at Kyrenia, Last
Sunday Monthly.
12 Midday, Onar Village, Kyrenia. The tenth event in
Sidestreets’ “Conversations on Culture” series in Kyrenia will
be a presentation by Dr. Holger Briel on “Dinner for One and Humour
Across Cultures.” The presentation will include a screening of the
classic short film “Dinner for One” (“The 90th Birthday”) and a
discussion by Dr. Briel.
“Dinner for One” (The 90th Birthday/Der 90 Geburtstag) is a comedy
sketch for the theatre written in the 1920s by British author Lauri
Wylie. Practically unknown in Britain, it has become a New Year’s
Eve cult classic in Germany (where up to half the population watches
it every year), the Nordic countries, Switzerland, Australia and
South Africa, since the 18-minute film version (recorded in English)
premiered on German television in 1963. Listed in the 1995 Guiness
Book of Records as the most frequently repeated television program
ever, “Dinner for One” has been the subject of a range of parodies,
interpretations and cultural analyses.
Dr. Briel’s Sidestreets presentation will consider a range of
questions in relation to “Dinner for One”: How does humour
translate? What is so specific about British humour? What is its
history and its performance? And why is it a big hit abroad? How
does it differ from American humour? And German humour? What
mechanisms are at work when a piece is received in a foreign
country? And what role do the media play in this reception?
Holger Briel completed his studies at Eberhardt-Karls-Universität
Tübingen, the University of Michigan, and the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst. He is an Associate Professor in the
Department of Communication at the University of Nicosia, and
has published widely in the fields cultural studies, critical theory
and visual communication. His books include “Intercultural Visual
Literacy” (London: Sage, 2010) and “Glocal Media and the Balkans”
(Skopje: Blesok, 2009). Seats cost 30TL, including lunch, and should
be reserved in advance at Sidestreets, Tel: 229-3070. (Back to Top)
