	Napoleon in popular culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The stock character of Napoleon is generally comically short, indignant, and bossy; the literal embodiment of the "petty tyrant." He is often portrayed wearing a comically large bicorne hat, often with a big "N" badge, and shown with one hand tucked inside his coat as in the famous portrait of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David.
		Napoleon hates to be reminded of his short stature (in the episode "When Time Collides!", Miss Information mistakes him for a leprechaun), and he also likes to play the tambourine, which he keeps behind his coat (hence why he keeps his hand in it, as he states in "Great Heroes of France").
		Napoleon is parodied in an episode of "Pinky and The Brain" where Brain is mistaken for Napoleon because of his small stature.

		Taking the perspective that culture is a creation of something else is the first step in guiding application of the ideas in this study on symbolism of popular culture.
		Perhaps one of the best ways to describe the application of a symbolism of popular culture is to consider its use from both a time perspective and a functional perspective.

	Soldier and Peasant in French Popular Culture 1766-1870 Folklore - Find Articles
		The book addresses five major issues: the image of the soldier in popular prints and woodblocks; oral literature relating to soldiers (and the soldier as a storyteller); the ceremonies surrounding the selection of recruits by lot; the popular perception of the soldier, both native and foreign; attitudes towards the veteran or returning soldier.
		There are some further aspects of the impact of soldiers on the countryside that could have been tackled, in particular the issue of deserters and the fate of soldiers' wives, widows and dependants, but this is a thorough and scholarly analysis of peasant perceptions that greatly enriches our understanding of rural customs and rural attitudes.
		It may be that the impact of the Revolution and the Napoleonic era on popular perception was less significant in practice than the authorities of all these regimes believed, but if that is the case then Hopkin should say so and speculate on the reasons for this.
