This book develops the thesis that the transition from premodernism to postmodernism in art of the digital age represents a paradigm shift from the Hellenistic to the Hebraic roots of Western culture. Semiotic and morphological analysis of art and visual culture demonstrate the contemporary confluence between the deep structure of Hebraic consciousness and new directions in art that arise along the interface between scientific inquiry; digital technologies; and multicultural expressions. Complementing these two analytic methodologies; alternative methodologies of kabbalah and halakhah provide postmodern methods for extending into digital age art forms. Exemplary artworks are described in the text and will be illustrated with photographs.

Same womb as Lt. of Inishmore; different baby.By Robert RoblesFrom the same writer as Lieutenant of Inishmore; McDonagh brings a hell of an English ride to the stage.Generating the same crazy premises as well as the addicting dialogue; McDonagh hooks you and doesnt let you go until the end. Just like LoI; its a roller coaster; but I think his themes are more identifiable and the message is clear; the justice system; wherever you go; doesnt really care.The dialogue makes you cringe while laughing and leaves you gripping the corner of the book at times; the author has always had this effect on his readers (and viewers when its produced into a play) and Hangmen is no exception. The pacing is (I dont use this word lightly) phenomenal. The message satirical but is built with more than a few layers of truth.The only con to this play is that youll be left wanted more by the end.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
