Jean-Michel Basquiat was born in Brooklyn, New York, on December 22, 1960. With a Haitian-American father and a Puerto Rican mother, Basquiat's assorted social legacy was one of his many wellsprings of motivation. A self-educated artist, Basquiat started drawing at an early age on sheets of paper his dad, a bookkeeper, brought home from the workplace. As he dug further into his imaginative side, his mom emphatically urged him to seek after creative abilities. Basquiat initially pulled in consideration

struck the pavement we were sharing... "I was going down, man..." on the contrary, he was destined to rise after dividing our cajoled ashes -- fortunately the weather was fine that day. I've intended to walk in the shadows of greatness, namely Michel Houellebecq an author who writes passionately on

In the book, The History of Sexuality, Michel Foucault talks about how it is that we use sex and sexuality as a way to explain who we are. One’s sexuality was thought to explain a lot about a person’s character, so much as to say sexuality ultimately defined a person’s identity and “truth” about them. This has to do with the relationship that sex has with power and knowledge. Foucault argued that he does not think there’s a truth in sexuality that is outside of power. He stated, “power is essentially

In the History of Sexuality Vol. 1, Michel Foucault writes the body as a constructed and manipulated agent, the locus of sociopolitical discourse and power. To Foucault, the body cannot exist before the law (that which holds and ascribes its meaning). Similarly, sexuality cannot free itself from relations of power (Butler 1989:603). Indeed, the body is culturally contested; it is incapable of independence from any particular structuralized narrative. The ubiquitous yet uncertain subject of sex,

Socrates was not guilty of any of the crimes he was convicted of because he did not encourage others to act a certain way, rather he evoked discourses that would make his peers to profess on their own. Michel Foucault, a french philosopher and historian who had very high regards to socrates had a cathartic take on the controversy. Foucault associated socrates with self-care and truthful pursuits. Foucault’s understanding and regard for ancient greek society

The first of the three, and my personal favorite, is “Pont Saint-Michel” by Matisse. This piece is very simple, yet has a calming and elegant color scheme and medium. This oil on canvas cityscape uses rough brushstrokes and very few exact lines in order to show an inexact representation of the bridge and its surrounding buildings. The buildings have very little true form, and seem to blend into one another. Their colors are mostly primary, with reds, yellows, and blues standing out the most. These

Michel Foucault’s work within philosophy has made important impacts when it comes to understanding how power affects a capitalist state. Believed that history of a country should how the past created a better future for society but in most cases through history, that was not the case. One of the examples that Foucault uses is how the mentally ill were treated in the Renaissance compared to the 18th century. During the Renaissance period, the mental ill people were allowed to seen within society and

to find a way to make the camera as discreet as possible, and flexible enough to be able to capture the moment when it happens. I know from documentary how to not have a preconceived idea of what the scene could be”. - Michel Gondry As this quote from French film director Michel Gondry suggests, the ability of a director to create a film that hides the camera and the construction of a film remains difficult. In his 2004 film, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Gondry utilizes the full potential

Michel Foucault was a French thinker, philosopher and postmodernist. He has been hugely influential in shaping understandings of power. He talked about how the power and knowledge are used as a form of social control through societal institutions and also the relationship between them (Michael Power, Annual Review of Sociology, Vol. 37, (2011), pp. 35-56, Published by: Annual Reviews). In the book “The Foucault Reader: An Introduction to Foucault's Thought, Edited by Paul Rabinow, 1984”, he

The film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind directed by Michel Gondry follows two ex-lovers during their breakup. The protagonist of the movie, Joel Barish, is a middle aged man living in Long Island that lives a dull life. However, this all changes as soon as he meets a young woman at a party named Clementine Kruczynski. Immediately drawn to her colorful personality, clothing, and hair Joel became engulfed in her, wanting to know all of her interworking’s and emotions. It didn’t take long
