In this work ubiquitous learning technologies are applied to Chinese scenic poetry appreciation. A folksonomybased approach is proposed to accumulate knowledge about poems and their corresponding scenic spots. A user can use a “Tagging” operation by a smart phone to associate a concept (a word, a phrase or a sentence) with a scenic spot. These associations will be recorded in a folksonomy, whic...

OETRY is not only central in the title, but for the study of the Hebrew Bible. There is no intention here of disvaluing the prose of the Bible, which constitutes the first major literary composition in that medium ever produced, so far as I am aware, whether we speak of the so-called Court History and the J source of the Pentateuch of the 10th century B.C., or the composite whole which we may c...

We analyze computer-generated poems written with a mesostomatic algorithm. We show that computer-generated poetry is meaningful in the same way as human-generated poetry and that this poetic meaning must renounce one-to-one correspondence to reality, objective or subjective. We further show that the ability of a computer poet to produce meaning is stable with respect to a change in language. On...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the effect of a poetry writing program for people who had experienced a serious illness. METHOD For this study we randomly assigned 28 volunteer participants with a history of serious illness, usually cancer, to one of two poetry writing workshops. Each group met weekly for 2 hours for 8 weeks. The second group was wait-listed to enable comparison between the two...

Dante has an increasingly hard time progressing on his journey and in writing poetry about it as he approaches the bottom of the Inferno. Symbolic expression loses its grip before the nullity of absolute evil. Language returns to a pre-semiological state of signifying like a brute thing — especially by virtue of the concrete, literal, root senses of words that are reactivated as their conventio...

This paper discusses the idea of ‘ecopoetry’ by outlining its development from drawing on Romantic and deep ecological traditions in the 1980s to reflecting complex environmental concerns in the 2010s. We identify a distinction between definitions that focus on poetry’s ability to heighten individual readers’ awareness of their physical surroundings on the one hand, and definitions that look fo...

The universe is a grand book, Galileo noted in 1623, written in the language of mathematics (1). Those poor souls who don’t understand that language, he cautioned, wander about in a “dark labyrinth.” As languages go, mathematics can be intimidating. Plenty of people linger in the shade of Galileo’s labyrinth. To the uninitiated, equations, theorems, and proofs—to say nothing of their constituen...

This paper presents the current advances in “The Muses of Poetry”, an on-going project that combines interaction, emotions and poetry. The goal of the project is to create an interactive installation where a virtual character not only recites poetry, but also manifests the affective content of the poem through facial expressions and voice rhythm. The novelty of our work is the combination of di...
