James Fleming’s Cosby Codex represents an attempt to offer the definitive theoretical reading of The Cosby Show, a foundational text in Late Postmodern Western Culture, or a multicultural, post-cognitive text par-excellence. He is a PhD student in Central Florida, where he resides with a very patient wife and ever-loyal dog.
