the past (Grady, 21). This demonstrates that even as the world was modernizing and changing Shakespeare’s work changed with the world. His works were easily adapted to the new ways of the world everywhere. In the essay, Modernity, modernism and postmodernism in the twentieth-century's Shakespeare, written by Hugh Grady states “The shock-value, say, of the Cubist set used in Edward Gordon Craig’s 1912 production of Hamlet in the Moscow Art Theatre came in large measure form the presentation of…

Although Aboriginal peoples inhabited in Australia continuously for over forty thousands years, Australian Indigenous Studies or “the study of and about the Indigenous peoples” (Nakata, 2006) is a relatively new discipline in the country’s academy. Since the introduction of the subject considered the first one relating to this matter at tertiary level in 1968 (Bourke and Bourke, 2006, p. 101), Indigenous Studies has entered into mainstream education and has now become “an expansive field of…

The Breakfast Club which was written, directed and produced by John Hughes was written for teenagers and allowed other generations to observe popular culture through the eyes of a teenager. The film illustrates teenage culture in the 1980’s and the social struggles tied to being a teenager. To understand the shift in American culture within the 1980’s and how movies began depicting popular culture, the film does an excellent job of illustrating. Popular culture, low culture, elite culture,…

Spain was the country that played a negative role in this context because of the particular seriousness of the economic situation and the social crisis that was affecting it. As John Beverley observes, “the Spanish baroque was, for example, like postmodernism today, at once a technique of power of a dominant class in a period of reaction and a figuration of the limits of that power”(Beverley 1993:64). Economic and social crises are not always happening at the same time, but they are produced in…

Expectations and the Brexit by Amelia HC Ylagan In the cusp of the 19th century, Dickens is perhaps the most famous romantic writer telling of the social consequences of the Industrial Revolution in England at that time, in the narrative of a “condition-of-England” as the growing-up storyline (Bildungsroman) would paint, and in the message of challenged traditions as the Victorian girdling had constrained. The pathos of the Victorian novel is mostly based on a foundation-emotion of isolation…

Christianity faces a major threat today, but it does not come from without; it comes from within. Many have labeled this threat as the “emerging church” movement. This is a reformist movement within Christian-oriented circles primarily characterized by protest (Carson 9, 14, 25). Few have taken up the task of discussing this movement in detail, but in D.A. Carson’s work on the subject, he exhaustively covers the movement and what it means for Christian-oriented people. Carson succeeds in this…

Through the destruction of history, government 's are able to dominate large populations of people and influence them to act a certain way. The public is controlled through the creation of distress within the lives of its people. The defilement of domination is kept up through forced reality on the populace. The acknowledgment of pernicious aims prompts…

and offline identity. Sherry Turkle (1995) supports that people experience identity in modern age as a set of roles that can be mixed and matched. She adds that in postmodern times, multiple identities are not regarded at the margins of things. Postmodernism also views consumption as a passive act, when every product is mass-produced and rehashed a thousand times before, the new frontier is mass customization. Alvin Toffler (1980) argues that the decline of consumers in post-industrial age is…
