With the rise of ecological branch of literary criticism many critics have attempted to explore the relationship of literature and environment. Consequently the role of literature, and especially poetry is re-examined from ecocentric perspective, that is, poetry is considered as promoting ecological consciousness. Some of the critics eve argue that this consciousness can be converted into activ...

This contribution comprises a didactic analysis of course in literary criticism and creative writing based on programme transcultural poetry plurilingual activities loosely inspired by Oulipean constraints. First, the notions jargon thought style (Sensevy, Gruson, et Le Hénaff, 2019; Bloor, 2020; 2022) serve to identify epistemic potential this relation canonical cultural practices fields writi...

This paper is about the automatic generation of creative text, more precisely the automatic generation of poetry. It starts by presenting two possible categorisations for systems that aim generating poetry and then makes a brief overview on the existing attempts to this subject based on what can be found in the literature.

For α, β, n ordinals α → (β, n) means that any graph on the ordinal α either contains an independent set of order-type β or a complete subgraph of order-type n. We only consider cases where n is a natural number, hence the naming. The partition relation α → (β, n) for α, β finite multiples of κ where κ = ω or κ is weakly compact is characterized by a finitary problem as is the same for α, β fin...

The key contribution of computer science to general and school education relies on the concept of Computational Thinking. Teaching programming in Logo at the primary school is an appropriate didactic approach towards Computational Thinking, it permits to embed Computational Thinking into a spiral curriculum at a very early stage and should enable specific transfer to related school subjects. Th...

Multimedia production is generally considered to be an expensive task. This is true when dealing with complex graphics, animation, artistic effects, music and high quality video editing, but didactic applications do not require such advanced features. A conventional lesson can be effectively reproduced in a multimedia environment using a small set of multimedia features and a simple, regular st...

Our software system simulates the classical collaborative Japanese poetry form, renga, made of linked haikus. We used NLP methods wrapped up as web services. This approach is suitable for collaborative human-AI generation, as well as purely computer-generated poetry. Evaluation included a blind survey comparing AI and human haiku. To gather ideas for future work, we examine related research in ...
