Two Ways to Look at Life | The Only StoryDilip Barad
There were two ways of looking at life; or two extremes of viewpoint, anyway, with a continuum between them.
One proposed that every human action necessarily carried with it the obliteration of every other action which might have been performed instead; life therefore consisted of a succession of small and large choices, expressions of free will, so that the individual was like the captain of some paddle steamer chugging down the mighty Mississippi of life.
The other proposed that it was all inevitability, that pre-history ruled, that a human life was no more than a bump on a log which was itself being propelled down the mighty Mississippi, tugged and bullied, smacked and wheedled, by currents and eddies and hazards over which no control was possible.

Comparative Literature in the Age of Digital Humanities _ On Possible Future ...Hina Parmar
1.The changes brought about by new communication technologies are as profound and sweeping as the invention of print and the discovery of the New World. We are in a major transitional moment in history.
2. These technologies have both liberatory potential through democratizing information, but also a dangerous capacity for control and violence. There is an inescapable dialectical tension.
3. Humanists must involve themselves in debates about digital culture and technology to ensure corporate interests do not dominate these spaces and our cultural legacy.
4. We need new critical methods and conceptual understandings to grapple with digital texts and culture, which transform assumptions about mediation, authorship, discourse, etc.
5. The article puts forth comparative media studies, data studies, and authorship/platform studies as three avenues for a future comparative literature adapted to the digital age.
6. Models like Wikipedia illustrate the power of open, collaborative knowledge production. Institutions like universities need to think about how to integrate these models into learning.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.

2. Abstract
• With the invention of the printing press, communication, literacy, and the state of
knowledge completely changed providing the condition of possibility for
reformation and the Enlightenment of the Age of Humanism and the rise of mass
media.
• The impact of print and the “Discovery” of the new world was predicted by
networking technologies, which not only enabled the dissemination of knowledge
and new culture and social spheres.
• The invention of the electric telegraph, the heyday of colonization, the
exploitation of the natural world, the electrification of cities, the rise of
transnational finance, the internet, and “New” media of the radio, film, and
television.
• Explosion of real-time social networking on hand-held devices. these
technologies have a common thing a contraction of time and space through the
control of regulation of knowledge information and bodies.
• In this regard, every technology has a dialectical underbelly, facilitating the
• potential democratization of information and exchange on the one hand and the
ability to exercise exclusionary control and violence on the other.
3. Key Points

4. Key Arguments
• Nicholas Negroponte in his book Being Digital says perhaps even hundred dollar computer will
not only be used to enhance education, spread democracy, and enable global communication but
will not likely be used to perpetrate violence and even orchestrate genocide in much the same way
that the radio and the railway did in the last century.
• Paul Gilroy analyzed in his study the fatal junction of the concept of nationality with the concept
of culture along with “Black Atlantic” voyages of discovery enlightenment, and progress also
meant, at the very moment, voyages of conquest, enslavement, and destruction.
• New communication technologies including but hardly limited to web-based media forms,
locative technologies, digital archives, cloud computing, social networking, and mixed realities.
• N. Katherine Hayles ponders various possible futures for Comparative Literature in the second
decade of the twenty-first century- how to rouse ourselves from the “somnolence of five hundred
years of print”.
5. Key points
• “Materiality as the interplay between a text’s physical characteristics and its signifying practices”,
as Hayles argues allows us to consider the text as “embodied entities” and still foreground
interpretative practices.
• Walter Benjamin did in “The Arcades Project” both the media and methodologies for the study of
literature, culture and society. Just as Benjamin sought to employ the montage form to transform
historical scholarship by refocusing attention on what it means to “write” history, digital media
enable us to refocus on the media, methodologies, and affordances of print culture in the practice
of Comparative Literature.
• What happens when the print is no longer the normative or exclusive medium for producing
literature and undertaking literary studies?
• While electronic literature offers a significant and multivalent possibility for exploring the future
of Comparative Literature.
6. Key Arguements
• Comparative literature since they question that have formed the methodological ,
disciplinary and institutional foundation of a wide range of academic fields in the
humanities , including history and art , literary and cultural studies and humanistic
,social sciences such as anthropology, archaeology and information study.
• The purpose of these chapter is to provide some preliminary signposts for figuring out
what this means for the Humanities generally and for Comparative Literature more
specifically.
• Digital Humanities “a term which still needs the qualifier ‘’digital’ in order to highlight
the proliferation of media and the move away from strictly print artifacts”.
• Digital Humanities projects are almost collaborative.
• It is an outgrowth and expansion of the traditional scope humanities not replacement or
rejection of humanistic inquiry.
7. • Jeffrey schnapp says “Digital Humanities Manifesto ”, it is essential that humanist assert and insert
themselves into the twenty century cultural wars.
• Humanists ,foundations and universities conspicuously silent when Google won its book search
lawsuit and effectively won the right to transfer copyright of orphaned books to itself?
• Digital millennium copyright act, radically restricting intellectual property , copyright and sharing?
• Humanists are engaged with digital culture, production , publishing , access and ownership.
• European Avant-garde in the early twentieth century, the Digital Humanities Manifsto is bold in its
claims fiery in language and utopian in its vision.
• Robert points out the beginning of the fourth information age not the first. To reshaping university,
curricula, departmental and disciplinary structures.
• We are now in the fifth decade of the fourth information age in the history of humankind.
8. Google , Technorati , JSTOR, Facebook ,Flicker ,Twitter
we are producing sharing , consuming and archiving exponentially
more cultural material ,textual and visual data , than ever before in
history of our species.
9. • Franco Moretti’s provocation is to consider comparative literature as a “Problem” that “asks for
new critical method”.
• The problem of Comparative Literature is to figure out how to take seriously the range of new
authoring, annotation and sharing platforms that have transformed global cultural production.
• Post –print age.
• We must actively engage with design, create , critique and finally hack the environments and
technologies that facilitates this research.
• The world of print are comparatively different in interactivity and expressivity but this is not to say
that digital media is more evolved than print media or books are obsolete.
10. • Moretti has already indicated one possible way of doing this articulation of
“Distant reading” a specific form of analysis that focuses on larger units
and fewer elements in order to reveal their overall interconnection shapes,
relations, structures, forms and models.
•
It is term specifically arrayed against hermeneutics extracting meaning
from a text through ever closer, microscopic reading but beyond distant
reading we might entertain possibility of machine reading.in which trends
correlation and relationship would be extracted through computational
method.
•
Hyles points out in her recent studies on the transforming power of
digital humanities even if we were read a book for our entire adult life
the upper end the number of books that can be read about twenty five
thousands
11. • As we are in the first decade of massive transformation it may be somewhat premature articulate
new disciplinary methodological and institutional fault lines.
•
Concept of literary or equally vexing notion of what constitutes literature and culture are terms of
owe much of their meaning. as object of knowledge study and pleasure in humanistic tradition to
the history of writing and inscription practices.
•
Friedrich Kittler calls “Aufschreibesysteme”(System of writing down), These system are not
limited to print but include vastly differentiated material history of knowledge systems from stone
carving, leather folio and parchment scrolls illuminated manuscripts, printed Books,CD ,Roms.
• Now various forms of electronic literature web based media digital authoring environments.
12. Comparative Media Studies
• Comparative literature has been inflected by so called visual turn of 20th century.
• Television, Digital media offer more fundamental challenge since they not only transform the
media assumption built into traditionally study but also scholarly environment.
• Digital media are always already hyper media and hyper textual
• Both originally term were coined 1965 by the visionary media theorist Theodor Nelson
• For nelson hypertext is body of written pictorial material interconnected in a such complex way
that it could be not conveniently represented on a paper such a system could grow indefinitely
gradually including more and more of the world’s written knowledge.
13. • How then the comparative literature can be practiced when scholar work are created exchanged
and critic multi model environment such as the web?
•
How do we as scholars develop methodologies that appreciate evaluate media specificity of every
literary cultural artifact?
•
Comparative media studies foreground the material of quality surface structures upon which
inscription are made the process of reproduction and circulation the institutional mechanism of
disseminations and authorization the reading and navigation practices enabled by media form and
social implication for literacy and knowledge production
•
Comparative media studies implies that output or scholarly work is not uni-medial and for that
matter might not even be textual
• Comparative media studies enables returns some fundamental question who is author? What
is a work? What constitutes particularly in environment in which text readerly writerly by
potentially anyone?
•
•
14. Comparative Data Studies
• Lev Manovich and Noah wardrip-fruin the field of “cultural analytics” has emerged over the past
five years to bring the tools of high –end computational analysis and data visualization to
dissect large scale cultural data sets.
•
Comparative Data Studies allows to use computational tools of cultural analytics to enhance
literary scholarship precisely by creating orders, visualization, maps, semantic webs of data are
simply too large to read or comprehend using unaided human faculties.
•
Comparative Data Studies also radical broadens the canon object of cultural material under
consideration on one hand originally constituted as singular object in one medium.
• On the other hand “Born digital objects whether blogs, webpages, video etc.
• As MCGann argue regarding to the first in his elegant analysis of “radiant textuality” the
difference between codex and electronic versions of oxford dictionary.
15. Comparative Authorship and Platform studies
• Claims of web and information technology certainly be critically interrogated.
• Collaborative authorship, peer to peer sharing content, crowd sourced evaluation of data the hall
mark of participatory known as world web2.0
• James Boyle points out there are many corporate entities eager, regulate late the public domain
control the “commons of the mind”
• for Boyle the real danger is not unauthorized file sharing but failed sharing due to enclosures and
strictures placed upon creative commons.
• Comparative literature has not concern it self with design, interactivity, navigation strategies these
issues are decisive part of the Comparative Authorship and Platform studies
• In a print model scholar typically “handed off” the content of their manuscript To publishers who
did layout, design, editing, print, disseminations of the work, now this work moved to the
forefront of digital humanities.
•
16. • Other Academic Platforms such as Grand text Auto, USC’s experimental authoring and
collaboration platform “scalar”, “Rice University Press” connexions and the institute for future of
the book variously explored knowledge production and legitimacy in the post print era by re
examining authorship, design, peer review and participatory dimensions of scholarship.
•
My own work on Hyper cities a collaborative digital mapping platform for exploring authoring
the complex layers of the city spaces.
• Wikipedia a revolutionary knowledge production and editing platform.it is represent a
dynamic flexible and open ended network for knowledge. it is most comprehensive representative
and perceive participatory platform for knowledge production ever created by Human kind.
•
17. • Conclusion
This Article has mainly focuses on 21st century in terms digital
humanities after discussing various arguments we come to know that date
it has than more three hundred millions edits forty seven languages. It is
worth some pause and reflection in a future disciplinary incarnation of
comparative literature. This research render this world as a world and produce
knowledge about who we are , where we live and what that means.
