The Dearth Of The Author In Ai-Supported Writing, Max Kreminski

Computer Science and Engineering

We diagnose and briefly discuss the dearth of the author: a condition that arises when AI-based creativity support tools for writing allow users to produce large amounts of text without making a commensurate number of creative decisions, resulting in output that is sparse in expressive intent. We argue that the dearth of the author helps to explain a number of recurring difficulties and anxieties around AI-based writing support tools, but that it also suggests an ambitious new goal for AI-based CSTs.

Tolkien The Playwright: Manuscript Revisions And Faërian Dramas In "The Homecoming Of Beorhtnoth", Anna Smol

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Tolkien is not usually considered a playwright, even though his verse drama, “The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm’s Son,” is a unique example of the genre. It is Tolkien’s only published play and historical fiction, as well as a unique poetic - dramatic genre, a modern alliterative verse play, which Tolkien developed over many years in numerous drafts, now held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford and the Brotherton Library in Leeds. These manuscript drafts allow us to trace Tolkien’s stage directions, which reveal that he imagined this to be a play for presentation on stage. This essay examines Tolkien’s statements …

Friar Jack, The Science-Fiction Apologist: Exploring “The Friar Of Oxford” By William Lindsay Gresham, G. Connor Salter, Sørina Higgins

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Few Inklings scholars have explored William Lindsay Gresham’s life outside of the fact that he was married to Joy Davidman. His poem “The Friar of Oxford,” published here for the first time, shows a surprising level of engagement with C.S. Lewis’s ideas, combining war imagery with references to the Ransom Cycle and a “mushroom cloud” reference that may show he explored one of Lewis’s literary influences. The poem’s contents add to existing Gresham-Inklings scholarship, and show Gresham accomplishing the same goals that the Inklings and their associates like Dorothy L. Sayers accomplished in their “escapist” or mythopoeic works.

Coltrane’S A Love Supreme: Mediations Of Immediacy In Jazz Ritual And Recitation, James R. W. Crockford

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

This paper explores the ritualized performance ethic of John Coltrane’s later career, which is charged with a determined exploration of freedom and spiritual ascendance through participative and gestural immediacy. Conceiving of this music as a spiritual and political tool for embodied transformation, this paper traces this ethic at play in Coltrane’s iconic 1965 album A Love Supreme, identifying ways the work effects a mediation of immediacy. Through focus on the album’s closing “Psalm” recitation, its parallels in Coltrane’s other works, and their analogue in traditions of ecstatic liturgical and political oratory, this paper demonstrates the consistent priority Coltrane gives …

Stemming The Flow: Strategies To Address The Production Arts Skills Shortage Within Australian Theatre And Performance Practice, Tessa Rixon, Anthony Brumpton

Behind the Scenes: Journal of Theatre Production Practice

The lockdown, cancellations, and uncertainties of COVID-19 triggered a large-scale exit of skilled professional technicians, managers, and designers from the Australian arts industry. A significant gap in the national workforce of production artists has since emerged, forcing arts organisations to work with smaller teams and employ younger people with little to no training or knowledge. These pressures are beginning to impact the industry’s ability to meet the post-COVID demand to stage live performances, yet little information has been collected to fully comprehend the issue or to suggest solutions.

Conducted throughout 2023, this research sought to understand the current situation of …

Art And Climate : A Creative Awareness, Michel Abou Khalil

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

The growing engagement of artists with ecological challenges is a significant trend in the Anthropocene era. Most often, some of them feel driven by a sense of responsibility regarding the impact of industry and consumer society on the environment. Their commitment becomes a form of activism, mobilization or even a simple commercial niche to exploit. By observing this enthusiasm in the art world for environmental issues, we can ask ourselves the following questions: despite their sometimes lack of in-depth knowledge, where does the role of artists begin and end in this complex universe? Does their commitment have real power to …

“A New World And A New Society Challenged By A Problematic Character In La Compagnie Des Glaces By G.J. Arnaud”, Sophie Nicolaïdès Salloum

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

The Ice Company, a dystopian novel, is the first volume of a 64-volume saga which met with great success among readers. It was adapted into a comic strip by the JOTIM group and also into a television series. On an earth invaded by ice, the survival of the human species is ensured by the large railway companies which share the globe. They provide warmth and food, but also exercise a ruthless dictatorship. Involuntarily involved in the intrigues of the Company, the glaciologist Lien Rag rebels against the power of the Company and the ostracism suffered by the Red Men, a …

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Our planet is currently experiencing a climate crisis due to global warming. Scientists have begun to sound the alarm about this phenomenon, which will have disastrous consequences at every level. Literature is also affected by this phenomenon. As a result, we are witnessing an influx of literary works of all kinds with the aim of warning people of the dangers of this phenomenon and explaining its causes and impacts. And comics are no exception. In a hugely successful comic book, not only in France but worldwide, comic book artist Christophe Blain teams up with engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici to create Le …

Designing Adaptive Facades Using Biomimicry For Improving Daylighting In Office Building: A Case Study Of Cairo, Egypt, Hosam Abd El-Aziz Amr, Nada Essam

Journal of Engineering Research

The paper explores the use of biomimicry to enhance façade design and improve daylighting performance in office buildings in Cairo, Egypt. By emulating natural processes, adaptive facades were developed to increase energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Initial studies examined biomimicry principles and international case studies of adaptive facades. Simulations of a façade inspired by the Gazania flower's nyctinasty movement showed significant improvements: the area achieving optimal illuminance (300-3000 lux) increased from 24.2% to 37.4%, and Spatial Daylight Autonomy (SDA) has decreased from 82% to 68%. These findings demonstrate biomimicry's effectiveness in addressing daylighting challenges in hot climates. The research underscores …
