Download or read book Technology Literature and Culture written by Alex Goody and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology, Literature and Culture provides a detailed and accessible exploration of the ways in which literature across the twentieth century has represented the inescapable presence and progress of technology. As this study argues, from the Fordist revolution in manufacturing to computers and the internet, technology has reconfigured our relationship to ourselves, each other, and to the tools and material we use. The book considers such key topics as the legacy of late-nineteenth century technology, the literary engagement with cinema and radio, the place of typewriters and computers in formal and thematic literary innovations, the representations of technology in spy fiction and the figures of the robot and the cyborg. It considers the importance of broadcast technology and the internet in literature and covers major literary movements including modernism, cold war writing, postmodernism and the emergence of new textualities at the end of the century. An insightful and wide-ranging study, Technology, Literature and Culture offers close readings of writers such as Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, Ian Fleming, Kurt Vonnegut, Don DeLillo, Jeanette Winterson and Shelley Jackson. It is an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike in literary and cultural studies, and also introduces the topic to a general reader interested in the role of technology in the twentieth century.
Download or read book Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Language Literature and Cultural Education ICON LLCE 2023 written by Ari Ambarwati and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access book. The role of the Indonesian language holds paramount significance, as it serves as an instrumental medium for educating the populace. It retains a steadfast position as a conduit for national communication, a unifying force, and a vital instructional medium for the nation's educational endeavors. In the contemporary epoch of globalization and the advent of Industry 4.0, global communication transcends temporal and spatial boundaries, with language assuming a preeminent role therein. The fortification and consolidation of Indonesian's role in this communicative milieu are imperative. Yet, given the intricate nature of the Indonesian populace, the augmentation and fortification of Indonesian's role necessitates sustained endeavors to ensure the preservation of Indonesian cultural identity within the nation's human resources. Diligent initiatives to fortify Indonesian as the lingua franca of scientific discourse in this era of globalization demand concerted engagement from various stakeholders, including the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI) within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at the Islamic University of Malang. The forthcoming Third International Conference on Language, Literature, and Cultural Education (ICON-LLCE) will center its focus on augmenting the role of Indonesian language towards the advancement of scientific inquiry and global civilization. The digital transformation, which has pervaded Indonesian society, has been markedly accelerated by the global pandemic that has gripped the world since early 2020. Communities worldwide have transitioned their activities to virtual realms, necessitating adaptability to the digital milieu across diverse sectors encompassing commerce, industry, governance, and education. This transition is marked by an increasing reliance on the digital domain, internet infrastructure, and intelligent computing systems, including artificial intelligence, which Bill Gates heralds as commensurate in impact to the advents of mobile telephony and the internet ("The Age of AI has Begun," 2023). The digital transformation denotes a comprehensive process wherein organizations integrate digital technology across all facets of operation, thus altering the manner in which value is delivered to Indonesian-speaking constituencies. In the Indonesian context, this entails the fundamental adoption of innovative digital technologies to effect cultural and operational shifts that harmonize with evolving demands, habits, and exigencies of the Indonesian-speaking populace. Significantly, this encompasses an expansive online Indonesian dictionary, the integration of information technology and the internet in the pedagogical sphere of teaching Indonesian Language and Literature, and the infusion of artificial intelligence into the educational process for Indonesian as a Second Language (BIPA). Additionally, the repository of books and reference materials in Indonesian will be transitioned to a cloud-based mode, facilitating universal accessibility. In summation, the Internet of Things (IoT) precipitates a discernible transformation in the modes of access and utilization of the Indonesian language, particularly within the domain of scientific inquiry. From the foregoing elucidation, it is underscored that Indonesian, as the official language of the Indonesian state, assumes a pivotal and strategic role in fortifying the national identity and safeguarding the enduring vitality of the language itself. In light of this, the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI) within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at the University of Islam Malang will convene the third iteration of the International Conference on Language, Literature, and Cultural Education (ICON-LLCE) in September 2023, under the overarching theme of "Augmenting the Role of Indonesian for the Advancement of Science and Global Civilization. This international conference, which has been ongoing since 2015, succeeds the second edition convened in November 2021. Through this imminent iteration of ICON-LLCE, distinguished scholars and academics representing various global locales will convene to engage in thoughtful deliberations pertaining to initiatives aimed at safeguarding and fortifying the enduring pertinence and robustness of the Indonesian language within the ambit of forthcoming intellectual pursuits and the broader global cultural discourse.

Download or read book Language Acts and Worldmaking written by and published by John Murray Languages. This book was released on 2022-02-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collectively authored by the Language Acts and Worldmaking team, this defining volume offers reflective narratives on research, theory and practice over the course of the flagship project of the same name, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council's Open World Research Initiative. It returns to the project's key principles - that our words make worlds and we are agents in worldmaking - analyses the practices and outcomes of collaborative working, and looks to the future by offering concrete ideas for how the work they have done can now continue to do its work in the world. Focusing on the key research strands, this volume looks at the role of the language teacher as a mediator between languages and cultures, worldmaking in modern languages, translation and the imagination, languages and hospitality, digital mediations, and how words change and make worlds. Critically, it analyses the impact on communities of living in multilingual cities, and the ways in which learning a first language, and then a second, and so on, plays a crucial role in our ability to understand our culture in relation to others and to appreciate the ways in which they are intertwined. Specific aims are to: · propose new ways of bridging the gaps between those who teach and research languages and those who learn and use them in everyday contexts from the professional to the personal · put research into the hands of wider audiences · share a philosophy, policy and practice of language teaching and learning which turns research into action · provide the research, experience and data to enable informed debates on current issues and attitudes in language learning, teaching and research · share knowledge across and within all levels and experiences of language learning and teaching · showcase exciting new work that derives from different types of community activity and is of practical relevance to its audiences · disseminate new research in languages that engages with diverse communities of language practitioners.
Download or read book Linguistics Literature and Culture written by Shakila Abdul Manan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-05 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the changing realities in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture in Asia, resulting from globalization, modernisation and rapid technological development. It consists of sixteen essays by academics and researchers around the world, reflecting on the interface between the global and the local, and its impact on the local and regional languages, literatures and cultures of Asia. This scenario, which exemplifies language contact in action, is captured by the book mainly to demonstrate that linguistic negotiations, appropriations and indeed changes are not one-way. As such, their implications on language use, language choice, language policy and planning, literacy and pedagogy, identity, subjectivity and culture need to be closely examined. The uniqueness of this book lies in its attempt to showcase original research in a variety of multicultural settings. Its multi- and cross-disciplinary approach will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers from diverse backgrounds. This book will serve as a useful reference that is both scholarly and informative for researchers as well as academics in the fields of linguistics, literature and culture.

Download or read book Literacies Culture and Society Towards Industrial Revolution 4 0 written by Fuad Abdul Hamied and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book began as one of the publication outlets for two flagship conferences in 2019: 12th Conaplin (Conference on Applied Linguistics) and 3rd Icollite (International Conference on Language, Literature, Culture, and Education) which bring forth broad topics in the fields of education, applied linguistics, and literature organized by the Indonesia University of Education (UPI - Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia). Conaplin is one of the first annual conferences held by UPI, organized by the Language Centre in collaboration with the English Language Department. Icollite, on the other hand, emerged from the local scientific forum into an international conference to showcase the latest insights offered by new doctoral graduates in the Faculty of Language and Literature Education. For the themes of 2019 put forth by the two conferences, 12th Conaplin's "Applied Linguistics and Industrial Revolution 4.0: Reviewing Policy, Expanding Research, Enriching Practices" and 3rd Icollite's "Bridging Literacies, Culture, and Society towards Education 4.0", we highlight the importance of current buzz words in the language and education fields. We have observed that the proliferation of the use of these terms signals how communities in general, especially those in higher education, are grappling with responding to rapid changes in the IR 4.0. In the era we live in, humanity is being reshaped at an unprecedented speed and scale, mainly due to the advancement of technology. In order to maintain balance in our educational system so that social and cultural aspects can work harmoniously with the advancement of technology that can sometimes be isolating and impersonal, we collectively need to identify new and innovative ways in which we support the full potentials of our students, colleagues, and communities in interconnected global interactions. To this end, we need to review our existing policies in education, expanding our research to foster more collaboration and interdisciplinary connection to provide solutions and alternatives to problems that might arise as the consequence of the changing times.
