Here, the versatile cast ably draws on West African dance and Alvin Ailey-esque motions of struggle and striving, channeling martial power in machete-swipe kicks and resilience through the familiar (but, again, anachronistic) vehicle of spirituals, even in the absence of visible adversaries.

Their supporters said they had grown frustrated with years of seeking, and failing, to modernize the Vatican's rickety and anachronistic communications department and to convince the pope and his top lieutenants that in an age defined by media, communications could not be an afterthought.

Mr. Uderzo and the writer René Goscinny created Asterix in 1959, filling the series with puns, regional stereotypes and anachronistic references to French culture as it followed the adventures of its main character, an ancient Gaul named Asterix, a mustachioed figure in a battle helmet.

"Blue Flowers" isn't quite an epistolary novel — the chapters alternate between A.'s letters and a third-person narrative of Marcos's increasingly disordered life — but in choosing an anachronistic literary form, Saavedra seems to wish to cloak A. in the romance of the genre.

The title "Imperfections" doesn't lie: Viewers of David Singer's microbudgeted directorial debut will have to endure plenty of baggy scenes and awkward exchanges to enjoy the upside of this modest con movie, which has the charming, almost anachronistic noir setting of Chicago's Jewelers Row district.
|
|
Within the show, the most striking aesthetic element is the charged and often surprising soundtrack, an anachronistic mix of modern rock and punk with quieter, brooding works along the lines of its sinister theme song, "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Unless one falls into a deterministic notion that all art is forever destined to be a luxury good — and we are unable to imagine and construct another communicative role for art — we should take seriously the challenge to cultural reification that Buren's anachronistic interventions once posed.

Although this image is somewhat embedded in reality, the pair's expensive, anachronistic duds, coupled with such surreal touches as an orange stuffed rabbit planted between them, ratchet up the unexplainable factor, but not so far as to distract you from the painting's shimmering, almost too-sweet color.
|

These days we can hardly find the energy to raise our eyes from the tiny screens three inches from our faces in order to watch watch larger screens, to say nothing of dragging our asses down to ye olde theater for something as anachronistic as the opera.

A scene set in the offices of the colonial authorities in 1920 is stilted and anachronistic; a tantalizing early appearance of one Soft-Paw, a gang leader renowned for his silent footsteps, ends with him slinking away, carrying rucksacks full of guns, never to appear again.
|
|
Now that the meteoric rise of vaping has accelerated the death-by-a-thousand-cuts decline started by federal regulation in the United States, cigarette brands that were once titans of industry are now using inefficient, anachronistic tactics to fight for their share of a dwindling market.

Fortunately, there are plenty of extraordinary women artists who tirelessly work on dismantling of such traditional and anachronistic notions be it in New York, London, Berlin, or Tbilisi, showing how much truth, honesty, and drive is present in women as well as in art they create.

To this day, artists in Cuba fight against this perception of them as existing along the global margins of artistic production, a view that seems to be particularly anachronistic and rather inadequate in the digital age, when the concept of "the Third World" is becoming increasingly outdated.

Probably a little bit of both, and I won't be the first or last to suggest that people are just plain tired of Taylor Swift, a style of pop princess who feels almost anachronistic just three years after her nearly unprecedented crossover from CMT and Joni Mitchell bangs.
|

"Untitled (Evil exists where good men do nothing)" fit its surroundings well when installed in an old courtyard two years ago during Basel, but currently confined within Gagosian's booth at a convention center, it makes for an anachronistic curiosity amid other contemporary works at this major Midwestern showcase.

Opinion Columnist After the debacle last week in Iowa and the reporting of the results there, even more people began to speak openly about how anachronistic and antiquated it is for Iowa and its problematic caucuses to continue to have such an outsize influence on the Democratic nominating process.

Ben Elton—who wrote "All is True"—is also responsible for three seasons of "Upstart Crow", a sitcom in which David Mitchell plays a much-put-upon Shakespeare whose moaning about public transport, among other things, allows for much anachronistic fun delivered in a jokingly cod Elizabethan English.

Footage of North Koreans cheering as they watched the news announced at noon local time Wednesday was like a scene out of an old Cold War movie, so anachronistic in this globalized era that the only response that makes any sense is to think the North Koreans are crazy.

It would understate things to say that an emotional transfer kicked in when I put on the sleek two-button suit, whose details — pick-stitched lapels; deep double vents; waist adjusters (to eliminate a belt's bisecting ugliness); a superfluous yet appealingly anachronistic ticket pocket — contributed to the spell.
|
|
And it's probably not realistic to expect many other games to spend as much time crafting their narratives with such verve and attention to detail; Uncharted 4 is as big as it gets in terms of video game development, and yet the single-player adventure feels increasingly anachronistic.
|
|
The IPO was necessary to solidify the paper's finances—more than once it's mentioned that raising the share price by $3 would generate $3 million to hire 25 additional reporters (a figure that seems anachronistic, at best)—but it put the Graham family's control of the Post at risk.
|
|
It is in the confluence of all these forces that you come upon the true nightmare: a society in which small and big lies pervade every discussion, across every medium; where deceit is assumed, trust is naïve, and a consensus view of reality begins to feel frighteningly anachronistic.
|

On his personal blog, early medieval historian Guy Halsall has pointed out a number of the anachronistic elements in Bryullov's painting which together point to 21870th-century culture clashes and racism — rather than the reality of the fifth century CE or the true ethnic identity of the Vandals.
|
|
Senators made pious noises and partisans bemoaned the state of the republic, but the widespread Washington wisdom was that this was a fait accompli: After decades of "Butter Battle Book"-style escalations in the judicial wars, a minority veto was simply too antiquated, anachronistic and pre-ideological to survive.
|
|
Brin's interest in zeppelins isn't purely an anachronistic tick — the Hybrid Air Vehicles HAV 304 Airlander 10 hybrid airship, depicted in the image above, holds the record as the world's largest aircraft and has some promising benefits for potential military operations, including a very low operational heat signature and radar profile.
|
|
Those who haven't watched the Kentucky Derby in recent years might still picture an anachronistic sporting event in which jockeys push horses to their physical limits, men and women wear antebellum styles with churlish pride, and Southern millionaires pine for a time when the height of technology was the riverboat.
|
|
The world will not wait for the United States to reconcile its internal political disputes, and China with a more cohesive political establishment may sense its patient, peaceful rise, has left it well positioned to benefit from anachronistic and poorly structured U.S. global policy still unaware of the current realities.

Mr. Luhrmann's film, about the relationship between a young writer (Ewan McGregor) and the star of the Moulin Rouge (Nicole Kidman), was an anachronistic jukebox musical that featured songs by bands as diverse as DeBarge ("Rhythm of the Night") and Nirvana ("Smells Like Teen Spirit"), but set in 1899 Paris.

Its Executive Director, Suhag Shukla, penned a heartfelt op-ed in The Huffington Post, and enlisted over 40 professors from fields such as Social Ethics at Saint Mary's College in California to Religious Studies at Harvard University, to join its call in rejecting this "anachronistic" proposal to rewrite Indian history.
|

Liam is so good looking that his portrayer, Thomas Doherty, also plays a vampire on the CW. It is likely Rob's adventures — and misadventures — with her love interests will be the parts of High Fidelity that stick with you, rather than the series' decidedly un-millennial, jarringly anachronistic music snobbery.
|
|
While it seems anachronistic today given the expectation of wall-to-wall news coverage and an emphasis on government transparency, impeachment rules and precedent allow the Senate to clear the chamber of journalists and spectators and bar the doors so senators can talk privately among themselves for hours on end.
|
|
The parallels between pioneer days and the present become more pointed, and the language Ms. Brunstetter uses in the 1840s scenes, which is neither period-appropriate nor playfully anachronistic, starts to irk, as do the sorrows of present-day Jane, who should have been packed off to a therapist years ago.
|
|
It never escapes my notice that among the muntjac antlers and equestrian prints — little anachronistic emblems of mastery — C. keeps an astonishing, thick-lipped, bug-eyed porcelain head of a slave or servant woman on her coffee table (lidded and hollow inside, meant to hold bonbons, keys and other knickknacks).
|
|
The three couples intertwine in a series of violent intimacies, with the white partners lingering over apparently anachronistic artifacts of black culture (Jim leers at Kaneisha as she twerks to Rihanna; Alana orders Phillip to play R. Kelly for her on the violin), and the black partners alternately thrilled and repelled.
|
|
Coppola's visual indulgence makes it clear that Marie is a poor little rich girl, out of touch and a tragedy in her own life, but the drama of the intentionally anachronistic work comes from Dunst's ability to project womanly wisdom and girlishness, often at the same time — a recurring theme in her roles.
|

In a characteristically persuasive Jezebel post about Talese, Jia Tolentino suggested giving less weight to crotchety comments: [I]t's also arguable, and I'd argue it, that part of removing old men like Gay Talese from their positions of extreme prominence is caring less about the dumb, ungenerous, anachronistic things they tend to say.

To help fund these performance fees and build bipartisan support for the initiative, the federal government should also move to monetize its much-smaller portfolio of infrastructure assets, starting with the Tennessee Valley Authority, an anachronistic government-owned electric utility dating back to the New Deal that notably serves seven predominantly red states.
|
|
Her existence so defies retrospective wisdom that when a heavily fictionalized version appeared briefly on the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" it prompted incredulous, mocking comments charging that the character — a black woman prosecutor, in large part responsible for the arrest and conviction of a Lucky Luciano-like mobster — was pure anachronistic fantasy.
|
|
Instead, Mr. Espy, 64, and his allies were able to seize on Ms. Hyde-Smith's rhetoric and argue that it was an anachronistic representation of Mississippi, a state that has struggled mightily to repair its image more than a half-century after some of the gravest abuses of the civil rights era.
|
|
Set to an anachronistic pop soundtrack and an eye-poppingly attractive production design that would be right at home in a Wes Anderson movie, this is a film that dares you not to enjoy its material pleasures, even as you wonder if you should be laughing quite so hard at the jokes.
|
|
But the onslaught of anachronistic references began to feel more like an act of desperation than like freewheeling invention, as if the director and his collaborators — Constance Congdon is credited with the adaptation, and Mr. Bayes and Mr. Epp with "further" adaptation — did not trust the material to delight us without continual goosing.

"The idea of joint training could be used as a propaganda tool to rationalize how far-sighted Kim Jong Un was in making what was actually an anachronistic decision to build the ski resort at a time when ordinary citizens are starving to death", said Kim Sung-han, a former South Korean vice foreign minister.

Pound is not the only major 20th-century literary figure who supported fascism or held racist views; but he is the only one who engaged with the extreme right of the postwar era, and today his particular blend of economic populism, conspiracy thinking, and overt racism, far from seeming eccentric and anachronistic, is disturbingly contemporary.

When the songs are chosen for you, just like they were in the olden days, the olden days you remember, the olden days when people listened to albums like the anachronistic idiots they were, the olden days before you read more thinkpieces bemoaning the death of the album than you actually listened to albums.

It's hard to imagine a better demonstration of the state of AAA gaming today than Assassin's Creed Odyssey, a game where the whole of the wine-dark Classical Aegean is available for you to ply with your oars — but which operates according to a risible, cartoonish video game logic that seems, if possible, even more anachronistic.
|

But who would have imagined that Watters would use the opportunity to lampoon Chinese Americans through the lens of pop culture's most tired and anachronistic stereotypes -- martial artists, inscrutable elders -- while mock-interviewing elderly immigrants and mugging for the approval of his largely white audience like a toddler pointing proudly to his first successful potty poo?
|
|
But Tetris Effect pushes past nostalgia and achieves something novel: it's made seemingly anachronistic game design feel fresh again, by appealing to what makes the original Tetris great and combining with what so many of us, including those disillusioned or uninterested in the demanding video games of today, sorely need right now from such a product.
|

Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads It's hard to say what is most disorienting about the interactive performance piece, Ivanka Vacuuming, created by artist Jennifer Rubell and presented by CulturalDC — the schadenfreude it instigates, the somewhat anachronistic feminist button-mashing, or the ridiculous notion that Ivanka Trump has ever used a vacuum cleaner in her entire life.
|

During the brief zenith of his singular and increasingly anachronistic career, that was enough—not enough ever to make him an All-Star, or even really a particularly valuable player by the rude metrics that measure that sort of thing, but more than enough to make him one of the most indelible players of his era.
|

" But once you sit in front of him for a few minutes and see the words leave his sharp, slender face, it's easier to understand, and it even becomes jarring when he occasionally has to break out of his "anachronistic elocution" to communicate certain things, such as his order: "Umm, I'll just have an Iced Cap. Thanks.
|

How do men steer a path between the anachronistic prudery of a Mike Pence (who will not dine alone with a woman other than his wife) and the naked lechery of a Louis C.K., both of which share the premise that the central consideration in any interaction between a man and a woman must involve the prospect of sex?
|
|
If those things can occasionally seem anachronistic, it is worth remembering — particularly in an age of Tinder, Grindr and PrEP, and shifting national boundaries — that fashion is rooted in Eros and that both the easy sensuality of which he is an author and the tragedy of which he is an inheritor are inevitably elements of his creative truth.
|

This is not just anachronistic, mean and racist but also helps to obscure the actual black experience of opioid use: While the death rate among whites from overdose has risen most steeply in recent years, by 267 percent from 2010 to 2014, the mortality rate for black users has risen by a comparable 2014 percent over the same period.

Even Ivanka TrumpIvana (Ivanka) Marie TrumpPresident tweets 'few work harder' than Ivanka, Jared Dick Cheney to attend fundraiser supporting Trump reelection: report Trump Jr. dismisses conflicts of interest, touts projects in Indonesia MORE got caught up in the anachronistic law; she did not register as a Republican in time to vote for her father in the 2016 GOP presidential primary.
|

Ms. Yaeger, a fashion mainstay who wrote for decades for The Village Voice during its alterna-bible glory days and now contributes to Vogue, has a signature, unvarying style: an anachronistic little bob dyed flaming red, pyramidal layers of skirt and underskirt, the exaggerated lips painted à la Betty Boop, two traffic-light dots of rouge high on her cheeks.

"At a time when most people would have thought that the aim of the Hong Kong government should be to bring the whole community together, it seems appallingly divisive to use anachronistic common-law charges in a vengeful pursuit of political events which took place in 2014," Chris Patten, the last colonial governor of Hong Kong, said in a statement.
|
|
He manages to be, as Hua Hsu pointed out in a recent New Yorker article, an "Asian Everyman" who plays down "identity politics" and opts for an almost anachronistic message about everyone coming together — one that, in its rosy vagueness, contrasts with the rest of the field's willingness to dive, however emptily, into thorny questions about busing, reparations or gender equality.
|

Exercising its absolute right to approve the selection of the playwright, the estate approved Aaron Sorkin; the estate has now identified numerous alleged departures from the novel in the way the characters in the play express themselves, but is it really surprising that Sorkin would filter the 1930s Alabama story through what the estate seems to perceive as an anachronistic contemporary New York sensibility?
|
|
And as Todd mentioned, the scene in the Underground was so anachronistic and unnecessary — and yet entirely necessary, because the film would have you believe that Britain's decision not to open negotiations with Hitler was entirely based on a train car full of ultra-reasonable British people (and not on the fact that there were never really terms to negotiate in the first place).
|
|
Instead of sweeping such anachronistic, paternalistic claptrap under the proverbial rug, we should follow the lead of people like African American Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., who this year has published a book ("Stony The Road," Penguin Press) and is hosting a PBS documentary series ("Reconstruction") that trace such dehumanizing, debilitating characterizations of black people in the pre-civil rights era directly to their post-Civil War sources.

SS: Your business seems to be, and I'll be honest with you, I was a former floor man myself, not from Lloyds I was on the LIFFE floor, and you guys still with your slipcases and what have you, having you tottering off down to the Leadenhall, I beg your pardon, the place next to Leadanhall and, it's the Lamb isn't it – and basically it just seems anachronistic.

Greene is an organizer of the series.) The features include John Sayles's "Matewan" (on Friday), with Chris Cooper as a union organizer in West Virginia; Peter Watkins's nearly six-hour "La Commune (Paris, 1871)" (on Saturday), which from the vantage point of anachronistic TV news reporters depicts the revolutionary government that briefly ruled that city in 1871; and "Behemoth" (on Sunday), a horrific, at times surreal documentary portrait of migrant iron and coal workers in Inner Mongolia.

"Slow Love" fashions a replicated musical period piece complete with piano bedrock, restrained drums not so much driving as following the melody, and sappy strings swathing the whole thing in a cozy, syrupy blanket, then adds a historically anachronistic saxophone that, without turning the song into swing, after the first chorus continues to solo in the background for pretty much the rest of the song, swelling up with liquid joy at each subsequent chorus and sometimes commenting on Prince's vocal line.

When the Chicken Littles of fashion run around squawking that men's wear has run its course; that the separation of the cisgendered sexes into two separate seasons is as anachronistic as binaries themselves; that women's wear will soon swallow whole the male side of the business like a Hanna-Barbera alley cat and then stand by smacking its lips, what they are forgetting is that most of the labels that have skipped the men's wear cycle, like Gucci, are accessories-driven.
