The document discusses science fiction and representations of the non-human. It explores how early science fiction novels from the late 19th century imagined catastrophic events destroying human civilization and how nature would reclaim the world. It also examines more recent works that feature post-human characters and societies or depict nature gaining sentience and the ability to communicate. The document analyzes these themes through references to works such as The War of the Worlds, After London, and The Stone Sky and includes various images related to the topics.

Global change
This film summarizes a discovery about a volcanic eruption in the 6th century that caused worldwide climate change for two years. Through tree ring, textual, and ice core analysis, researchers found that the eruption led to dimmer sunlight, red rain, drought, famine, plague, and deaths in entire cities. This global catastrophe may have significantly impacted human history.

The document contains 30 repetitions of the same copyright notice for "The Norton Anthology of World Literature, 3rd Edition" published in 2012 by W.W. Norton & Company. It suggests that the copyright notice appears on each page of Volume F of the anthology. It concludes with a slide directing readers to online study resources for the anthology at the publisher's website.

The document presents a list of 26 artworks created by 16 American artists such as Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, Fairfield Porter, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Tom Wesselman, Jules Olitski, Helen Frankenthaler, and Friedel Dzubas. The artworks span different mediums and date from the late 19th to late 20th centuries.
Narrative theories
The document discusses various theories of narrative structure. It notes that a Greek philosopher discovered over 2000 years ago that narratives must have a beginning, middle, and end. Additionally, it describes how this theory developed into identifying five main stages of narrative: exposition, complication, development, resolution, and climax. Another section explains Campbell's monomyth theory that narratives follow a hero's journey through universal stages. Finally, Todorov's theory is summarized as suggesting narratives pass through five stages - an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair it, and a new equilibrium.
Bermuda triangle updated
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle or Hurricane Alley, is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. However, most reputable sources dismiss claims of any mystery. Theories for disappearances in the area include paranormal explanations like Atlantis or UFOs, but also natural phenomena like compass variations, the Gulf Stream, violent weather, and methane hydrates. The document discusses several specific incidents of disappearances in the area and concludes that while the Bermuda Triangle adds an element of mystery, natural events still govern planetary bodies like Earth.

Superhero
Ben Grimm was a member of a group that went into space on a rocket. During the flight, radiation mutated Grimm, turning his skin into an orange, rocky substance and giving him super strength. Now known as The Thing, he is a member of the Fantastic Four who uses his super strength and durable rocky body to battle villains while shouting his famous catchphrase "It's clobberin' time!"
Space Adventure Synopsis
The spaceman's ship is attacked by aliens. He flees through a wormhole and crash lands on a planet covered in metal. He finds a space dock inhabited by humans but under attack by evolved aliens. The spaceman uses a defense turret to destroy an alien ship. He later salvages an alien battle pod and upgrades it to scout and attack the aliens, but they are too numerous. To save the future, the spaceman travels back through the wormhole and destroys the aliens' home planet, but causes a paradox that threatens to destroy the past and future.

David-Talbott-The-Saturn-Myth-1980.pdf
This document provides an introduction and overview of the book "The Saturn Myth" by David N. Talbott. It discusses how Talbott was intrigued by Velikovsky's claim that Saturn was once the pre-eminent planetary god in ancient mythology. Talbott then set out to examine Saturn's mythical character in more detail. The summary argues that ancient sources describe Saturn as the "Great God" or "Universal Monarch" that visually dominated the ancient heavens. Through detailed analysis of symbols and imagery, Talbott contends that early civilization sought to recreate or commemorate Saturn's organization of its "celestial kingdom," and that Saturn's dramatic appearance in the sky at that time inspired humanity's leap into civilization.

BOOM0502_10_Goldberg
Ken Goldberg conceived of a series of artworks that translate live seismic data from the Hayward Fault into immersive visual and auditory experiences. His earliest works, like mementomori and Mori, represented the data in monochrome and were intended as "memento mori" reminders of mortality. His latest work, Bloom, represents seismic activity as an evolving colorful "field of circular blooms" projected on a large scale. Unlike the earlier pieces, Bloom aims to replace the mood of pessimism with optimism by making the invisible seismic movements visible in a way that suggests life and beauty rather than death. Goldberg creates these works to foster a connection to the natural world and heightened awareness of the subtle shifts and

This keynote lecture was delivered at the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies, University of Limerick in December 2019. It examined the relationship between the urban and the utopian – specifically, the question of the knowability and unknowability of city spaces within literary texts (primarily London, but also other smaller British cities). It focussed on an emerging caucus of twenty-first-century British fictions that use urban settings, as well as real and imagined escapes from the city (in pastoral or temporal terms) to blend mimetic topographical detail and the locatedness of an identifiable city space with a more formally dislocating sense of ambiguity.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
