Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog,Theory of Iconic Realism to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for visiting. I hope you will find the information insightful. ~ Dr. Jeanne Iris

Kevin Smith's Film, "Dogma" and Iconic Realism

Photo from Google Images

Kevin Smith's 1999 film, Dogma, is an excellent example the theory of iconic realism to a film. Throughout this film, Smith challenges consciousness associated with dogmatic points of view by placing realistic depictions of Biblical iconic characters in settings unusual for these characters. He vacillates between humor and poignancy to elucidate for his audience an awareness of the difference between one's following a religious dogma and action associated with true faith.
