Seven Theses by J.J. Cohen http://ls-tlss.ucl.ac.uk/course-materials/HARTG075_73436.pdf Thesis 1: The Monster is a Cultural Body (born by metaphoric crossroads as an embodiment of a certain cultural moment-time, feeling, place) Thesis 2: The Monster always escapes (it can reappear) Thesis 3: The Monster is the harbinger of category crisis (refuse to be in any category, resist attempts to include them in any systematic structuration) Thesis 4: The Monster Dwells at the Gates of Difference (an incorpotation of the Outside, the Beyond; the most part monstrous difference ends to be cultural, political, racial, economic, sexual) Thesis 5: The Monster Polices the Borders of the possible (warns, prevents mobility(intellectual, geographic, sexual) delimiting the social spaces, every monster is in its way double narrative,two stories(one describes how the monster came to be and another its testinomy,detailing what cultural use the monster serves)) (monster is transgressive, too sexual, perversely erotic, a lawbreaker; so it has to be destroyed) Thesis 6: Fear of the monster is really a kind of desire (despite being linked to forbidden practices the monster also attracts,the cooptation of the monster int the symbol of the desirable is often accomplished through the neutralization of the potentially threatening aspects with a liberal dose of comedy, sometimes ppl become someone new) Thesis 7: The Monster Stands at the Threshold of Becoming (when the com back hey bring knowledge of our place in history,bear self-knowledge and a discourse all the more sacred as it arises from the outside, monsters ask us how we percieve the world, hey ask us to reevaluate our cultural assumptions about race,gender,sexuality and etc., hey ask us why we created them)

Explain The influence of the Communist Manifesto on Mexican Art-

essay about the influence of the Communist Manifesto on Mexican art in the 1920′s. Give an example of a mural or painting that shows the influence of the Communist Manifesto. Please cite a passage from this work and show how it is reflected in the artwork you choose. How did Marx and the Communist ideology influence Mexican muralists? Marx proposed a new way of structuring the society that many Mexicans thought would erase the inequalities that seemed inherent in Mexican society. During the Revolution, they saw that the wealthy and powerful would not give up their privileges easily and that even a violent upheaval might not change the economic disparities in society. How did the Mexican muralists use Marx′s ideas in their work? Did they make the working class the protagonists in their murals? DId they point out the exploitation of workers? The corruption of elites? Did they highlight the spirituality and communal spirit of indigenous Mexican culture that rejects materialism and consumption as measures of success? Look for these themes in the murals and look at how they might reflect Marx′s ideas.
