The era of European civilization was marked by the French Revolution. The epoch was entangled in dialectic movements that tore it between romanticism and rationalism. The period marked the pick of literary works with several artists fronting different ideologies and eventual rejection of classicism.

There has been a major push in the past few decades towards diversity in the literary canon, which was for a long while dominated by similar voices with similar origins. This push toward diversity has taken many forms: the integration of more female voices; the inclusion of more writers of color, regardless of their origin; and the inclusion of works of literature from non-Western cultures that have for too long been ignored. This last point has become known by the name multiculturalism, and though there is agreement throughout the academic community that this addition of previously un-acknowledged voices ...

Critical Review

Abstract
Literature provides a unique way in which individuals can use to relate with their culture. With the combinations of metaphors and symbols, meanings of events in the natural environment are explained beyond what could be conveyed in the absence of literature.

This implies that literature offers the best ways to explain the moral and spiritual cultivations in ...

Modernism in literature is said to have its roots in the late 19th century after World War I that took place from 1914 to 1919. Modernism in literary work is a shift from values, religion and tradition to isolation, identity crisis, fragmentation and relative truth. Modernism was catalyzed by World War I, as it led to mistrust in the ability of existing institutions to solve societal problems and maintain order in society. It also changed people’s perception of the world and society. World War I therefore influenced how writers wrote not just in terms of content of their ...

Pedro Almodóvar is considered to be one of the most provocative directors of modern Spanish cinema. His style is complex, and tend to be a break from the conventional concepts and norms associated with filmmaking. According to Mikaila Weaver, every film that Almodóvar directs highlights issues of sexuality and gender, and "creates an arena for the negotiation of these culturally constructed labels and categories" (4). One of the key elements associated with Almodóvar films is that of formalism. Formalism is a specific type of film study theory that involves heavy editing or the ways in which ...

The Armenians have for a long time had a rich history of written and oral literature. However, the effect of the European interest in oral literature and folklore in the 19th century played a great role in initiating a new movement of writers whose main interests were centered on the collection of stories, myths, songs, and oral epic poems. The period from1843-1848 saw bright Armenian students being sent off to European universities mainly in France to complete their education.

I remember my first encounter with one of Salvador Dali’s paintings very vividly. The painting was the one with the leaping tigers. One of my friends was going through their luggage that was in a suitcase in my room and the card with the image fell. I picked it up and looked at her wondering why she would carry such a strange image which was frightening as the tigers looked fierce ready to devour their prey. At that time, we were all manga and pop music oriented. This seemed out of place. She said that it was her ...

There is a significant part of the population that appreciates the science fiction. Science fiction is, in fact, a branch of speculative fiction that covers highly imaginative concepts that are often related to the fields of technology, astronomy, physics, and even socio-anthropology.

The Modern period from the late 19th to the early phase of the 20th century served as the catalyst for the beginning of avant-garde works of different artists whose works isolated their styles from the rest of the artistic movements that emerged in the previous eras.

Theater of the absurd is an idea that started gaining relevance in the 1950s. The concept is essentially informed by the ideas of absurdism and existentialism.

Authors embracing this style mainly present the human’s state as futile. This is in line with the philosophical perspectives such as the ones presented by Albert Camus that insisted human being can only be in the position of exploiting their full potential ...

Even in today’s increasingly diverse world of theatre and the arts, finding high-quality and accurate representation of minorities and people of color can be incredibly difficult.

Nothing is eternal. Everything is subject to extinction. Nevertheless, the ruining effect of time pays particular merci to those items, which represent art in its transparent implication. A reasonable question flows out of it: what do we call “the real art”? What does it look or feelfeels like?

Therefore, art itselfthis is just a dainty imagethe power of eternityidea which makes artistic items live on through centuries.

There are key features which define Victorian era literature. While some trends in literature may be difficult to define, the Victorian era is not. It is not only easily definable, current classic literature is riddled with examples of it.

It includes serialization resulting in many Victorian era literary works being interminably long. Often ideas of industrialization appear as it reflects the changes people from every social stratum were forced to cope ...

Jesus in Writings and Paintings.

Jesus as an Inspirational Figure in the Renaissance
Christianity and Jesus have always been central to the development of culture in Europe throughout its history. That does not, however, mean that people’s conception of them both remained static – a fact which has arguably led to some of the greatest artistic and intellectual outpourings the world has ever seen. While the Renaissance is famous for its intellectual outpourings (with Da Vinci being just one of the people famous for this), it is equally famous for its paintings and sculptural works. The ubiquity of religious iconography in both artistic and ...

[Assignment]

The question of why a work deserves inclusion in the literary canon is especially interesting when it comes to world literature. Many of the world’s earliest texts arose out of an oral rather than a written tradition, giving them a form and tone very different than modern works considered to have literary merit. With these works, literary value is determined less by the words themselves and more by the ideas and themes that are developed and their relationship to the culture. In the case of The Epic of Gilgamesh, is inclusion in the canon is due to ...

Philosophy

Introduction
One of the most important reasons behind study of literature or the literary works of authors is that they contain a philosophical or hypothetical perspective on different matters, which are yet again brought to the forefront of analysis through comparison with those of other authors. What makes study of these perspectives all the more interesting is that one cannot simply declare one to be the most acceptable and the other invalid. It is because that in literature, there is no right or wrong – instead, there is only greater agreement to the perspectives of one that the other .One ...
