Weekending In Woolsey, Walter Fulton

ENGL 1101 Showcase

The sun begins to peak through the blinds, rising over the lake in the backyard. Birds have been chirping for the last 30 or so minutes, and I roll over to grab my phone and check the time. 6:45. I try to get 15 or 30 more minutes of sleep to no avail. I can hear my little brother upstairs running around and figure I will get up to make some breakfast.

Tarot Fabula: Radical Digital Cards, Shuffled Narrative Structures, And Playing The Future In An Era Of Algorithms, Rachel M.L. Dixon

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

Since their earliest recorded use in the 1400s, tarot cards figure as objects for game play, artistic creativity, spiritual divination, and self-discovery. Tarot Fabula (https://tarot-fabula.com) introduces a ludic, interactive website interface that challenges 20th century tarot reading practices as linear narratives. Statistically random reshufflings of tarot decks from archival collections prompt the reader to become a narrative co-creator, drawing them into conversation with traditional reading and interpretive practices as they remix narrative elements portrayed on the cards. Tarot Fabula’s shuffling and reshuffling of cards as historical objects merges contemporary computational methods for generating random results with an interrogation of …

Meals In Mississippi, Fayth Ousby

ENGL 1101 Showcase

I grew up in a small town known as Goodman. My family has spent many years here as we own most of the land in said town. While my ancestors migrated here, our ways of cultivating have made a considerable impact on the town. I got to enjoy fresh fruit every morning and vegetables straight from the field. We have always had an abundance of food, so much that we share it with everyone. Everything from the berries and watermelon to beans and cotton. It was a large gathering place for the town as well. Even at this moment, the …

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I decided to go back into my dark room and click the power button on my Playstation. One of my friends named Greg was texting and calling me saying get on Madden. I decided to start a party chat and invite him so we could talk while playing. When we finally loaded up the game, he invited me and he took a long time trying to figure out if he wanted to pick the white or orange uniform. It was around 9:30 am and it was my first game of the day …

Cultural Diplomacy And Global Challenges In G20 Indonesia 2022, Poppy Setiawati Nurisnaeny, Hendra Kaprisma, Suwedi Suwedi

International Review of Humanities Studies

Indonesia has been chosen to host the G20 summit in Bali in November 2022. Indonesia has prepared many agendas ahead of the execution of this summit. This preparation concerns the technical implementation of multilateral relations, which have undergone significant changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Indonesia needs help hosting the G20 due to the fractured multilateral relations of several G20 member countries caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict in early 2022. As a result, Indonesia must mediate between the disputing parties to resolve this issue by selecting appropriate communication methods. Cultural diplomacy is one approach. Cultural diplomacy is a non-coercive …
