Mark Twain once said, “Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written.” The type of person that one truly is can never change. But artists, such as authors and songwriters put their work out into the world as a way to tell their story. The audience tend to look at these works as a form of entertainment. But by knowing the artist’s intention and background, the two can connect on a deeper level. Aubrey Drake Graham, notably known as…

Jeffrey Jerome Cohen is the author of “Monster Culture” who connects society and the monsters that humans make. Cohen explains how the Monster always falls under one or more of the categories, decided by the Monster’s characteristics. These characteristics include the monster who is a cultural body, the monster who always escapes, the monster who always brings crises, the monster who is an outsider, the monsters whose story prevents us from breaking rules, the monsters who represent fear and…

A ray of light in a world filled with darkness--that is what NYCB is. And on every occasion the company presents Jerome Robbins' sublime, majestic The Goldberg Variations that light shines even brighter. Especially if the work is as lovingly performed as it was on Saturday evening by Ashley Bouder, Sterling Hyltin, and Sara Mearns (from all three of whom I have been accustomed to expect efforts of the highest caliber); Lauren Lovette, Emilie Gerrity, Anthony Huxley, Taylor Stanley, Daniel…

In Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s essay, “Monster Culture,” he explains the qualities of monsters…

What’s My Name? Life itself wraps around the idea of being honest, truthful and meaningful. However, as I began to read the book Making Stories: Law, Literature, Life by Jerome Bruner, I encounter the idea of life being a mere reflection of our own narrative.

Narrative “gives shape to things in the real world and often…

In his writing, “Monster Culture (Seven Theses)”, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen argues that we no longer live in an age that uses Unified Theory, an age when we realized that history is composed of a multitude of fragments. In this writing, he has bound some fragments together to form a “monstrous body” and pushes his readers to reevaluate their cultural assumptions relating to those specific fragments. In his first thesis, “The Monster’s Body is a Cultural Body” Cohen explains that each monster has a…

Summary: Monster Theory In the first few lines of this article Jeffery Jerome Cohen, declares that he is creating a new “modus legendi”. That is, he is creating a new method of studying cultures from the monsters they engender (Cohen 3). He is ready to go against how cultural studies have been done in the past and form a new way of thinking and studying culture. Cohen goes one to make a few more comments on culture and history. First, “We live in an age that has rightly given up on Unified…

During the next couple of pages, I have written a literature review based on a third edition book written by Carl Rogers and H. Jerome Freiberg (1994) called Freedom to Learn. I will first provide the reader with a brief summary of the book followed by what, and how this information will be used in my future classroom. I feel it is extremely important to debug such useful information and related to my perspective of what classroom management is. Then the conclusion will follow, including what I…
