Iconoclast Icons: The Family	Part of a series of academic essays on radical cultural events of the 1960s & 1970s, Iconoclast Icons remains one of the most popular pieces posted. (It is updated once a year now. Let us know if any of the links are expired)
Suna no onna	Originally an annotation of Kobo Abe's unusually erotic "Woman of the Dunes" for Goddard College, "Suna no Onna" is a brief explanation of the narrative, w/ story segments for live reading.
Lustmord: Sexual Murder in Weimar	Originally published in the Cine-Muerte catalog at the film festival in Vancouver, B.C. & then reprinted Andy Black's Necronomicon UK,"Lustmord" delves into the attraction towards themes of sexual murder in contemporary cinema by journeying back to the decadence of modernist art in Weimar culture.
There Are Pictures in Your Paintings	Originally for print in HeadPress UK this special piece is a collaboration between BDC & John Szpunar of Detroit's Barrel Entertainment. It is the last interview given by painter, film maker & jazz historian David X Young.
The Korean Comfort Women	Originally a live workshop held at Goddard College in 2003, this piece on the Korean Comfort Women discusses a secret history of sexual slavery during WWII. Young women kidnapped from all over the Asian occupied territories and colonies were held as prisoners in battle fields, strategically placed to sexually service the Japanese troops. It has only been over the last ten years that international dialog has begun to define these actions as actual war crimes.
Topazu	An interactive dialog between BDC & New York City performance personality Andrew Hampsas on culture behind the Pink Curtain. Inspired by film "Tokyo Decadence" by director Ryu Mirakami. "Topazu" was originally part of the Necronomicon SIN CIN project for Andy Black.
The Chambermaid	Published in 1900 under the title Le journal d`une femme de chambre, "The Diary of a Chambermaid" first appeared in the United States in 2006. Known first for Jean Renoir's 1946 mildly successful attempt, and most famously for Luis Bunuel's classic 1964 film, "The Chambermaid" is the controversial story based on Octave Mirabeau's tale of a Parisian maid employed in a bourgeoisie country home. It sounds fairly simple a plot, though this tale truly puts Wisteria Lane to shame!
The Piano Teacher	Set in contemporary Vienna amidst the dichotomy of the city’s core of tradition and the coming of age into cultural decay, "The Piano Teacher" is a painfully disturbing romance based on Elfriede Jalinek’s 1983 Nobel Prize winning autobiographical novel of the same name. “Pain itself is merely a consequence of the desire for pleasure, the desire to destroy, to annihilate; in its supreme form, pain is a variety of pleasure.”
