Na knižnom festivale Arsenal v Kyjive, ktorý sa konal v čase ruských útokov, sa zdôraznila odolnosť ukrajinskej kultúry, keďže program musel byť prerušený kúskami leteckého poplachu, ale napriek tomu prišlo desaťtisíce návštevníkov debatovať o literatúre a umení. #Knihy #Festival #Ukrajina

Članek obravnava vprašanje, ali aktualna zasnova mature dejansko spodbuja bralno pismenost med dijaki, pri čemer avtorica kritizira pretirano pomoč pri pisanju nalog ter se sprašuje o vplivu takšne mature na razvoj kritičnega razmišljanja in samostojnega branja literature. #Matura #BralnaPismenost #SamostojnoUčenje

Not sure if wrld.org has an arts or literature section? I’m looking for beta readers for a new book “Letters from England”. Here is an overview: OVERVIEW In August 2015, Timothy Goldring, a British businessman, began a sentence of seven years in Changi Maximum Security Prison, Singapore. He had no telephone. He could not always reply to letters. He had a concrete floor, a tikka sleeping mat, and seven cellmates in a cell twelve feet by twenty. The following month, a letter arrived through the food hatch. It was typed. It was from Lancashire. It began: Dear Tim, Trust your accommodation is up to the normal standards. Francis - IT businessman, Fitbit enthusiast, walker of the Yorkshire Dales, dreamer of a bungalow in Burnley with an inside lavatory — wrote to his oldest friend every month for four and a half years. Fifty-one letters. He did not miss a month. He wrote about what was happening in the world, about Donald Trump and Brexit, about his shoulder operation and his grandchildren and the taxi he drove home drunk on New Year’s Eve. He wrote the way he talked — with a Lancashire man’s instinct for irony, an old friend’s instinct for loyalty, and the stubborn conviction that the world continued and his friend was entitled to know about it. He did not write about the cell. He did not write about the sentence. He treated Timothy as he had always treated him: as a man who was interested in the world and entitled to opinions about it. Between every line, unspoken but unmistakable, was a single message: “I have not forgotten you. Here is the world, held open. I’m keeping your place in it warm.” Letters from England is two books woven into one. It is Francis’s book — a month-by-month chronicle of Britain, seen through the lens of one man’s grim, affectionate, furiously funny dispatch from the outside world. And it is Timothy’s book — the replies he could not send at the time: what it is to receive, month after month, the voice of a friend speaking from a world you can no longer reach. What it is to discover, in the most reduced of circumstances, that a smaller world is not necessarily a lesser one. That a monk’s cell and a prison cell are, in certain lights, the same room. That friendship, at its most austere — stripped of presence, of reciprocal conversation, of every ordinary reassurance — is perhaps the most extraordinary thing there is. This is not a story of crime or punishment. It is a story of loyalty. Of what one man does when another disappears from the world. He writes. Month after month. Into the silence. Because the alternative — to say nothing, to let the distance win — was, for Francis, sat in his cottage in Lancashire, simply not acceptable. If anyone is interested let me know and we’ll figure out how to get a pdf to you. Many thanks.

Alen Golež, pesnik in prozaist ter profesor družboslovja in filozofije, v svojem delu raziskuje kompleksnost sodobne literature, ki mu omogoča pobeg od površinskih impulzov družbenih omrežij, in se osredotoča na iskanje ravnotežja med ironijo in iskrenostjo v umetniškem ustvarjanju, kar je v skladu z metamodernizmom. #AlenGolež #literatura #metamodernizem

This week, Nature published two articles showing that generative artificial intelligence in science is no longer just an aid in literature searching, writing summaries, or programming. Systems like Google's Co-Scientist and FutureHouse's Robin are already involved in formulating hypotheses. (translated)
