|
|
When you watch these movies today, the pulpy universal language of crude dubbing and its erasure of national boundaries can feel oddly idealistic, like Esperanto or something, less a failure of technology than a sweet, utopian anachronism.

To master archery and broadsword combat; to learn to manufacture fabric, bread, ceramic cookware and wood furniture by hand; to perfect the preindustrial arts of iron craft and tanning: Yes, there are worse things to carry into a post-apocalyptic world than a membership card to the Society for Creative Anachronism.
|
|
On the other hand, when the Season 2 episode "Maidenform" began with a montage of Betty, Joan and Peggy dressing to the Decemberists' 2005 song "The Infanta," the music was fitting — its thundering drums and intimations of regal, powerful femininity — the anachronism (not the series's only one, but rare) was jarring.
|
|
Denial alternates between power chord-driven urgency and thoughtful piano and horn-laden arrangements, with elements that, in less capable hands, might be written off as indie rock anachronism: reckless mixing, harpoon synth lines, unexpected rhythmic turns, dynamic builds that collapse into total chaos, and guitars that make guitars sound exciting again.
|
|
He likes to present himself as an anachronism—"the honourable member for the 18th century", as some nickname him—but in many ways he is a post-modern politician who, rather like Donald Trump, understands that the best way to attract attention in a world of babble is to turn yourself into a freak.

Turkey talk: Though the station and the exterior of the train that Paul takes from Manhattan to Connecticut bears the Penn Central logo—the transit company that would have run that train line in 1973, when the film takes place—the interior shows a Metropolitan Transportation Authority (or MTA) logo, which is an anachronism.

Anachronism-heavy historical TV shows can sometimes come off as smug, as if they think they're shocking their audiences — even though, in this post-Reign world, seeing a girl in a 19th-century hoop skirt get low to "I Like Tuh" is approximately as new and surprising as watching a walk-and-talk on an Aaron Sorkin show.

|
Was it just a year ago that more than 2165 million Americans cast their ballots for president, choosing Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump by nearly three million votes, only to be thwarted by a 217-year-old constitutional anachronism designed in part to appease slaveholders and ratified when no one but white male landowners could vote?

And it is the sort of anachronism that survives in this alternately booming and time-stopped city, one where glass office towers have all but erased evidence of a beloved squat and funky western stretch of Sunset Boulevard (farewell, House of Blues) and yet where Philip Marlowe's office building at Hollywood and Cahuenga Boulevards still stands.
|
|
In his catalogue essay, Joachimides describes the situation in even starker terms: Since painting was, and in many circles still is, regarded an absolute anachronism, the work that has been done by a number of major artists over the past two decades might best be understood as a partisan art, an underground battle against the official norm.
|
|
In 21st-century America, the concept of "Indian" is so often treated as an anachronism (a reminder of a people tragically slaughtered, with remnants of the population on reservations) rather than as an identity held by living human beings, that it's difficult for Orange's characters to find a way to think of themselves as authentic Indians.
|
|
"The Dot Com" (you can only say it in title caps) is a transcendently silly thing to call a website, at least in 2019, some cross between an anachronism and something your goofy uncle would say to you every time he saw you at a family gathering, knowing that you write for a website: Oh, how's life at the ol' Dot Com?

For one thing, the dichotomy Wayne establishes between the digestion-addled, potato-shaped, hopelessly provincial and embarrassingly ambitious Jew (represented by both the Lactaid-popping Federman and his dowdy, allergic girlfriend, Sara Cohen) versus the effortlessly soignée and sophisticated WASP (represented by the lithe and lazy Veronica Morgan Wells) seems, at this point in American history, not only a cliché but an anachronism.
|
|
"The Graduate" seemed to many moviegoers a perfect illustration of a young man struggling to cope with a social landscape over which he had no control (even though the idea of a new college graduate lounging in his parents' swimming pool without fear of a "Greetings" letter from his draft board, as the protagonist Benjamin Braddock does, was quickly becoming an anachronism).
|
|
Dumas spends a lot of time pondering where Hermès is headed as the world speeds up exponentially: There are challenges to remaining an anachronism; no other company of this sort has such vertical integration, with command of much of its raw materials (Hermès reportedly has a number of crocodile ranches in Australia) and total control of many items from conception to finish.
|
|
Much as the quest for fuel economy ended the reign of the muscle car in favor of the sporty hybrid, contemporary basketball's focus on efficiency has rendered the Bryant-style volume gunner something of an anachronism, a hoops dodo being crowded out of the on-court ecosystem by the long-distance, floor-breaking wizardry of a Steph Curry, or the blatant analytic calculation of a James Harden.

Re-christened Pre-Malone due to the time travel element — and later Lord Post Malone after being knighted, naturally — the chart-conquering face-ink enthusiast says he's having "the best day of [his] life" as he and the Tonight Show host meet the Queen (who lays a sick anachronism burn on Jimmy), attempt some less than period-accurate trash talk, and totally, definitely do their own stunts.
|
|
Then Chase Utley—whose very presence on the Dodgers is an anachronism; who was the worst everyday hitter on the team this season; and who a couple innings earlier was allowed to stay in the game against a left-handed reliever in a situation that might normally see him pinch hit for because the Dodgers' lead at the time seemed safe— singled in Toles to give the team a lead.
|
|
It would have been a strange end: all those near-miss illnesses, all that long work throughout the 20th century, protecting a feudal institution from the logic of modernity, updating an anachronism just enough so it can survive—and then she dies with a bullet to the chest, just like the Romanovs a century ago, just like all the other royals who couldn't empty themselves of all real content to make themselves acceptable to a changing world.
|
|
Such a statement has been criticized and contradicted by the outside, for example, the head of California's professional fire department said the President's comments were an anachronism that hurt those suffering and firefighters on the front lines Indeed, California's wildfires are having more impact than that in previous years, the number of homes at risk of wildfires in the west coast state of California now stands at 7 million, more than 10 times the number in 1940 and is expected to continue to rise.
