Playing with Fire MWAHAHAH


Andrew Meyer demonstrates the limits of what is acceptable within the realms of protest, play and transgression. Also, demonstrates the act to question and discuss the limits of correctness he violates. South Park demonstrates "convergence culture" that combines different fields within cultural studies. Allusive ontologies are dependent on the techniques of evaluation along with the aesthetic. Responsive ontologies talks about issues that are "as the were" surface level interactions. South Park is not a very politically based show so it cannot fully get critical of the politics; they react rather than recreate. Disruptive attempts to create social restrictions untouched by the responsive to be apart of the political struggle; things are self-aware. In South Park audiences interpret it as a sitcom and not as a critique of politics; it's just viewed as funny. Episode interpretations can take shape of "something different," or the form of rejection of "political correctness" to be taken as "humor," but become popular so it can keep high culture capital.
