"For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations." (Isaiah 61:11)

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

Announcements:

I have demonstrated or will demonstrate the application of this theory at the following locations:

Appalachian Living and Iconic Realim

 Recently, I have been viewing a fascinating woman, named Patara, as she lives on a homestead outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. Her inherited wisdom from her Appalachian roots, which include the Cherokee tribe and her Tennesseean family, illustrates iconic realism in the following manner. During a time of high technology, growing artificial intelligence, and social media, she uses some of this technology to demonstrate to her audience the value of knowing some common sense skills to survive any current or future emergencies. Old fashioned recipes, farming techniques, and spiritual guidance are positioned online in the midst of fast food prep, stock shortages, and the lack of spirituality to demonstrate the need for many to transform their 'spoiled' ways into hard work, diligence, and trust in God. Go forth, Sister!
