social bleakness Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-08-24 14:00:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- But every citizen must contribute in trying to redress the economic and social bleakness. Shilowa urged all residents - families, organisations, communities, business - to save electricity, promote energy efficiency and increase the electricity supply. http://www.joburg.org.za/content/view/2197/209/ Until we find a solid explanation to the origin of the term, we can assume that Eastern Europe was not known for miserablism (at least not Neil Tennant’s miserablism). I believe the author of this movie review might be attempting to refer to the word because of the region’s harsh, cold social bleakness. http://www.anvil-media.com/archives/100102/busoneseven.html All in all, yeah, I personally find this characterization too sweet if it was supposed to represent Jason in the long term, but for a one-time thing, I'm still grateful for its existence. It's one of the only two stories on Batman where Jason doesn't have to deal with personal drama or social bleakness, and it shows. http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/351468.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2010-08-24 15:28:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In terms of paintings, there can also be used the term "blandness", I believe, in that it does not provoke much reaction, which may be what your context may be referring to |
