Modern Myth

Dread Trident has argued that theorizing the modern fantastic within the context of TRPG texts is important for understanding SF and fantasy as academic disciplines, as well as for understanding the rise of realized worlds. It has worked through case studies of representative TRPGs to provide a variety of examples of this phenomenon, utilizing core concepts such as SF as modern myth-making, the Singularity as a fantasy trope, hyper-embodied language, enchantment-as-magification, fantasy’s challenge to the mundane, gametext harmonization in imaginary worlds, the draconic-posthuman trope, the ‘spectral return’ of the gothic, cosmic horror, cosmic despair, realized-fantasy space, ironic distance, untranslatable and unimaginable representation, ‘nerdy’ categorization of the material, complexity of lore in fantasy gametexts, post-anthropocene posthumanization, etc. In the modern fantastic’s realized worlds of TRPGs we have a wealth of unexamined gametexts that function like engineering tools along with discursive literary objects. They are both. And they are designed for material, embodied gameplay. They form a megatext of shared-world-setting creation far beyond those of any one author. The fantasy they offer provides a way of managing existence within modern, technologized life....

This paper represents a personal view of the evolution of the Mulberry Bush School and Organisation. I will define three developmental stages, and within these some “core concepts” which, in my view, have enabled our services to evolve. I will illustrate these with case studies.

Since Flinders Petrie, the importance of Western Asia to the history and development of culture in ancient Egypt has been recognized by scholars and has also been a significant driver in shaping Egyptological methodology and theoretical approaches. The study of relations between Western Asia and Egypt encompasses a wide range of specialisms given the broad range of evidence, the geographical breadth, and the academic disciplines involved. This chapter reviews the history of the study of relations between Western Asia and Egypt pointing to a selection of challenges scholars face in undertaking their research, and examines two case studies: theories concerning the role of Western Asia in the rise of the state, and the assessment of Egypt’s New Kingdom Empire in Canaan to illustrate the ways in which scholarly challenges are met and the resulting historical conclusions.

Cooperation among arts scholars is thought to be hampered by the division of research on the arts into two cultures, one scientific, one humanistic. This article proposes an alternative model for arts research, wherein multiple levels of explanation focused on well-bounded phenomena integrate research across academic disciplines. Two case studies of research that fit the model are presented.

Computer vision (CV) is rapidly advancing as a tool to make conservation science more efficient, for example, by accelerating the annotation of images from camera traps and aerial surveys. However, before CV can become a widely used approach, several core technology challenges need to be addressed by the CV community. Taking into consideration several case studies in CV where tremendous progress has been made since the emergence of deep learning, this chapter will introduce core concepts in CV, survey several areas where CV is already contributing to conservation, and outline key challenges for the CV community that will facilitate the adoption of CV in mainstream conservation practice.

Language And Education

This paper discusses the advantages and challenges of ethnography as a research method, especially as applied to the study of language in complex multilingual contexts. In this paper, we briefly outline the theoretical and methodological foundations of ethnography, and then we reflect on our own experiences as researchers making use of this method in two different contexts — Hong Kong (Fleming) and Kazakhstan (Smagulova). We conclude by suggesting possible benefits of ethnography and ethnographically-informed approaches in relation to the study of language and education in Kazakhstan. The authors of this article specialize in the fields of language, society, and education; accordingly, the insights we offer might be of particular interest for scholars doing research in similar domains. However, we do acknowledge that the potential of the methodological application of ethnography transcends language studies. Indeed, ethnographic methods have contributed substantially to knowledge production across various academic disciplines. The strength of ethnography as a method, we believe, lies in its capacity to generate rich, deep, and context-sensitive data whether used separately or together with other approaches in multi-dimensional studies. Kazakhstan is a context where relatively few ethnographic studies have taken place, and which might benefit greatly from further studies of this type.

This lucid, accessible introduction to supervised machine learning presents core concepts in a focused and logical way that is easy for beginners to follow. The author assumes basic calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics but no prior exposure to machine learning. Coverage includes widely used traditional methods such as SVMs, boosted trees, HMMs, and LDAs, plus popular deep learning methods such as convolution neural nets, attention, transformers, and GANs. Organized in a coherent presentation framework that emphasizes the big picture, the text introduces each method clearly and concisely “from scratch” based on the fundamentals. All methods and algorithms are described by a clean and consistent style, with a minimum of unnecessary detail. Numerous case studies and concrete examples demonstrate how the methods can be applied in a variety of contexts.

Active blended learning (ABL) is a defining aspect of the University of Northampton and has generated national and global interest. Within a few months of the author taking up a senior leadership position with the university, ABL was a significant positive factor in the university's ability to lock down the campus in response to COVID-19 and deliver education remotely. However, there is a scarcity of evaluation of ABL to provide evidence of the scale of its adoption in the university, its forms in different academic disciplines, its impact on different groups of students, and how to improve its effectiveness. Ideally, evaluation is always integral to pedagogic initiatives. It is however a reality that evaluation comes with challenges. This chapter explores why evaluation is so important and also so difficult. It proposes a way forward in the context of ABL by combining nationally available metrics with small-scale case studies.

This presentation outlines the application of cross-disicplinary and transdisciplinary epistemologies and pedagogies within the field of dance studies and the parameters of dance teacher education. Charting and challenging readings of the articulated and bodily knowledge, including dance disciplines (such as reading, writing, and embodying dance histories; performance analysis; and performance making), the enquiry presents an application of the three dimensions of academic disciplines within two case studies (dance histories/performance analysis and making). The paper presents epistemologies and pedagogies that facilitate methodologies for an embodied and articulated knowledge of balletic genres and histories, practices, and traditions.

The volume presents the proceedings of the second international workshop on the Archaeology of the Arabian Peninsula. Its subtitle, 'Connecting the evidence', portrayed our striving for investigating relationships and connections between different regions, materials and themes of research. The nine contributions straddle the entire expanse of the Peninsula and beyond, in order to counter the present divide in different academic disciplines. The chronological focus spans from the Pre Pottery Neolithic, the Bronze and Iron Ages down to the Islamic Middle Ages. The analyzed themes range from funerary to cultic landscapes, oasis formation and role of metallurgy for desert dwellers in state-of-the-art interdisciplinary perspectives and field case studies.
