Literature as a Way to Express Immigration and Ethnicity

When exploring the varying attributes of immigration and its connection to ethnicity and national identity, one of the best ways to examine these issues is through literature. While literature does not provide the objectivity of facts and figures, narrative fiction in literature provides endless avenues for subjective, thematic discussion about the broader emotional and human issues surrounding topics like immigration. A number of fantastic works tackling themes of immigration help to reach the core of the issues that immigrants must face in their new country, particularly as they relate to generation gaps and cultural acclimation.

Rubbish in Design

INTRODUCTION
The question of rubbish in design has assumed increasing significance in recent years. The late modernity in artistic expression, particularly in design, has made a strong case of incorporating everyday elements into different artistic expressions including, most notably, painting, sculpture, photography and installations. In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...

Being an art enthusiast is much easier in the twenty-first century, than it used to be in Johannes Vermeer's time. Imagine Amsterdam without queues near famous exhibitions, almost total absence of private galleries or critical reviews in the newspapers about a new artist and his genuine talent. It seems the Dutch population could not care less about some "Golden Age of Dutch painting" they had during seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Contemporary art lovers love this period, they spend time looking for new paintings, make research about lives of Dutch artists, we know so little about and decide whether a new discovered ...

Philosophy has been one of the defining disciplines and characteristics of Western culture. This ideology is so ingrained in the thought processes of these people that one may not realize that a particular view responds to the philosophical tradition that began with the ancient Greeks. Socrates was one of the most important of these thinkers. Therefore, as this discipline has developed, his thoughts have been both acclaimed and refuted by subsequent philosophers. Notably, Friedrich Nietzsche was very critical of this father of philosophy and many others in his Twilight of the Idols. A line-by-line analysis of a paragraph from this book ...

Baroque Art Period (1600-1750)

The term Baroque originates from the Spanish word of baroco, which means one big pearl of irregular shape. It defines the art period from 1600 to 1750. This period was turbulent in Europe since the religious conflicts between the Protestant and Catholic Church’s Reformations were at their peak; the Catholic Church, for years prominent within the spiritual European population, now had to restructure their customs due to the intense criticism expressed by Martin Luther. This religious conflict was not bloodless; the Peasant’s revolution in Germany and the Thirty Year War are indicative of the disastrous results of ...

Dolce Gabbana 2012 spring collection is the most stunning collection in the year around. This is perhaps the most conspicuous and impressive and in order to make it more pronounceable, I have chosen to use my project of a shopping bag.

The social and psychological pressures have been on the increase amongst humanity. The desire to feel appreciated and noticed by the rest of the society has pushed many individuals to ignore the reality and instead pursue fantasies and self motivated objectives. While women are considered as the ones majorly affected by the complicit femaleness, men are also equally affected by the pressures ...
