C Escher M C
1,089 wordsThough M. C. Escher contended that he knew virtually nothing about mathematics, even having gone as far as to declare that he was absolutely innocent of training or knowledge in the exact sciences, (Schattschneider 67), his art work commonly incorporates the use of many recognized elements of science and mathematics.

Interesting To Note Cultural And Social
1,157 wordsWe all speak and act from our bodies, but what we actually consider as "our" or other peoples body is very much open to debate. The images shift and change threw the times and culture changes, and so does the perception of the "ideal" or "politically correct" body. In the world we live in, the body has become a commodity, a fetish.

Gender Roles In Shakespeare
859 wordsIt is a peculiar feature of Shakespeare's plays that they both participate in and reflect the ideas of gender roles in Western society.

Derrida was right in as...
