not so humoresque now....or is it?

In ‘Interrogation Machine’ it introduces the idea of Schumann’s piano piece ‘Humoresque’ as an accompaniment with an unwritten, but silent rather than absent, vocal line. I can see the links with this idea with Freud’s theories of the sub conscious thoughts and ‘ideals’ of individuals and groups as shown with military example of treatment and beliefs towards homosexuality as well as torture. The article is cynical of this American psyche and traditions, starting from the ‘school campus’ of un-written but well-known , accepted and followed ‘laws’. It is ironic to read that Humoresque music, a genre of romantic music characterised by pieces with fanciful humor, exists upon the same notion.
