In his seminal study Gothic, Botting compares Gothic literature in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries with respect to their different ways of addressing terror and horror. He notes that the novel of terror dominated the eighteenth-century gothic writings for its transgressive efficacies. Female Gothic writers examine the terrors of patriarchal oppression while verbalizing the heroine’s anxiety about her entrapment into the confines of domesticity. In other words, the gothic heroine

The painting Good Crop was done by Clarence Holbrook Carter in 1942. He used an oil based medium on a canvas that was forty-eight inches by twenty-eight inches. This painting is from the era of war and rationed goods. The idea for this painting originated from his neighbor Jim Jennings, a farmer from down the road. He made the painting from just one basket of potatoes. Most of Carters painting were based off of memories from his childhood. While looking at Good Crop, your eyes are drawn

Egypt and they believed that The Rosetta Stone would be the code to deciphering Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. However, when the French were beaten by British military forces, they were forced to give up many Egyptian artifacts including the stone.

Jean-Francois Millet’s Potato Planters is a portrayal of two farmers; more likely husband and wife, planting seeding to grow potatoes during the day on their farm. This art has a lot of emphasis, movement, color, line, light, and depth. The emphasis behind this piece of artwork is the farmer and his wife planting the potato seeds. Farmers had to grow everything that they needed to survive. People don’t have to grow what they eat and need to survive like people many years ago needed. The purpose

I think that the author of this story, Cross Giblin, was very effective in explaining details in the sequence of translating the Rosetta stone. In chapter one of the story he uses dates to tell the beginning of the story. For example "near the entrance to the long, high-ceilinged room stand twomagnificent granite statues of Pharaoh Amenophis III, who ruled Egypt about 1400 B.C. Farther on is a colossal head of Pharaoh Ramesses II dating back to 1250 B.C. And beyond it, resting on a simple base, is

In recent years, multiculturalism, tolerance and political correctness have been integrated into how American society thinks. America seems to be trying to learn more about the ingredients of her melting pot. These efforts can be best understood by examining post-modernism. Post-modernism is especially important to breaking down stereotypes such as those that exist surrounding the black family.      To understand post-modernism we must first understand modernism.

postmodern theatre raises more questions than supplying the answers for the audience. Modernism created a ‘grand-narrative’ whereby there was only one meaning which would be told to the audience. Postmodernism broke down the ‘grand-narrative’ when Jean-François Lyotard wrote La Condition postmoderne: Rapport sur le savoir (The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge) (1979), he came up with

Post modernity was the successor of modernity in the time line of social change. It celebrates diversity and focuses thoroughly on the importance of the unconscious and puts emphasis on the free. It is an anything goes theory, full of new age beliefs and decisions. There is no consensus regarding when exactly postmodernity started, what it actually is, or whether it even exists. The term 'postmodern' is irrational: modern means now, present, and up-to-date. Whereas postmodern means nothing but future

Twentieth century is marked with two epochs, first half is known as modernism and second half is named as postmodernism. In the latter half of twentieth century there was an overall transferal in terms of culture, economics, religion, history, linguistics, social behavior, philosophy, arts, architecture, and literature. The world has entered into a new phenomenon that is being defined with the prefix of ‘post’. For istance from structuralism to poststructuralism, colonialism to postcolonialism, positivism

The term “postmodernism” was first used by the philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard in 1979. This term refers to the rejection of modernist ideas. However, if you have not had the chance to watch and films from the modern era, then it could prove difficult to tell whether or not original films are considered to be modernist or postmodernist. The films Stranger than Fiction and the short film Play are both postmodern films because they share the elements of hyper-reality, ambiguity, and metafiction.
