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

USNS Comfort and Samaritan's Purse Field Hospital in New York City and Iconic Realism

These two examples of iconic realism are now a true reality in New York City. How do they reflect this theory? 

The USNS Comfort is a Navy medical ship that has circled the globe helping other countries in their time of distress. This is the first time that this ship has been a necessity for the United States of America, used as a treatment center for those who need to be hospitalized, but are NOT afflicted with COVID-19. This iconic ship is here on the shores of New York, not a place usually associated with this kind of war effort. With this ship in port, we are all reminded of the seriousness of this health issue as well as the determination for We the People to rise against this invisible enemy. 

The Samaritan's Purse has helped people from around the world in their time of physical crisis. Again, the image of this iconic, temporary field hospital in the midst of Central Park illustrates the necessity of all people to do their very best to come to the aid of each other during this critical time in our lives. 

God Bless America, and God be with the healthcare workers as well as all who have come to the aid of those in need during this pandemic.
