Simpson Study

Abstract

This article attempts to highlight how The Simpsons are a particular example of American culture, which highlights a different relationship of Americans with culture. Homer and Marge are not an ideal couple, a role model to follow, but they stage a whole range of failures. However, they don’t stop being together. This makes them above all a man and a woman struggling with their impossible relationship. It’s precisely in this centrality of the impossible that a different relationship with culture can be found. Something that differs radically from everything that worries the gender studies. I propose to consider The Simpsons as a work that does not cultivate the utopia of sexual relation.
