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

Iconic Realism and Photograph of a Baby Swaddled in the United States Flag

Yes, according to the official rules regarding our beloved United States flag, wrapping a baby in the flag is not on the list of appropriate uses.
However, these two photographs creatively illustrate my semiotic theory of iconic realism in that we see a baby, comfortably situated in the midst of a United States flag, held by a soldier in one photo and a responsible adult in the other. These photographs represent the infancy of hope, relying on adults to show strength and determination as facilitators of this human quality.
The future generations of U. S. citizens are dependent on the adults of this great nation to make decisions that will create an environment which enables these children to contribute their talents and skills to move humanity forward.

On this Memorial Day, we acknowledge those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us to continue to engage in freedom. God Bless America.
