We’re excited to share that we published the “Characters in Action” (ChiA) annotation guidelines on Zenodo today. ChiA captures three key dimensions of character representation in narrative texts: mention in text, participation in event, and direct speech.

For me, the horror of Peele's film, as in real life, is in the banal evil of polite white supremacy. ✊🏽

At the office preparing to teach narratology for the new master students tomorrow. So of course I am playing Knight Forlorn, the new GMless and solo RPG from Bläckfisk.

My poor knight suffered horribly and died pretty quickly. Shit happens I guess. An interesting journaling experience, for sure. I might write up the notes as a story for my Patreon later.

As even the traditional Freytag's plot line unravels (and old "master plot" archetypes are deconstructed), Richardson writes a someway contentious new approach to narrative structure in today's world of reading and crafting. Yes, I'm a nerd and went for it instantly.

Mexican Artist Chavis Mármol crushes a Tesla .
"Chavis Marmol is a sculptor from Apan, Hidalgo, Mexico. Chavis Marmol’s work is a blend of humor and critique, delving into reflections on contemporary issues. In his Neo-tameme series, he explores our pre-Hispanic past from a Western neocolonial perspective" >>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KG22zPXIGo

Storytelling or storyselling?
"Artist Chavis Marmol dropped a nine-tonne replica of the colossal head carvings of the Olmec, the first known Mesoamerican civilisation, onto a blue Tesla 3. The Olmec head landed a year after Tesla announced plans to build a huge factory in northern Mexico."

On my way to Durham for the Narrative & Cognition Lab event on "Narrative Theory & Cognitive Science: Still a Problematic Relationship?"

Am super-happy with the lineup: #JohnSutton, #LarsBernaerts, #RichardWalsh, #MarcoBernini, #MarcoCaracciolo, #PeterGarratt, #MichaelWheeler, and #EmilyTroscianko! Very good conversations ahead, as well as some good beers... 🥳 🍻 📚

I'll talk about what taking enactive cognition seriously could mean for scholarly methods of reading.

Odysseus often keeps silent and watches. (A bit Luffy-like, realy.) Some silences are obvious, some less so -- there are silent silences, explicit silences, and more.

What are they there for, what does it mean if a reader doesn't even notice some of them, and what does 'concretisation' mean?

#classics #mythology #homer #epic #greek #narratology https://kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2024/01/silence.html

There are silences that are significant, and then there are silences that are just silent. The Odyssey uses silence as a storytelling tool, for emotive affect, for springing surprises, for concealing surprises.

(For some reason these silences tend not to translate to on-screen versions.)
