I highly recommend Dr Zoe Copeman's newest, "Negotiating Their Medical Authority: The Life Writings of Frances Burney, Hester Thrale, and Anne Lister." #C18L #medicalhumanities #feminist ojs.unito.it/index.php/ri...
Negotiating Their Medical Authority: The Life Writings of Frances Burney, Hester Thrale, and Anne Lister | RiCOGNIZIONI. Rivista di Lingue e Letterature straniere e Culture moderne ojs.unito.itquite honored to offer some of the framing to think in the subjunctive, the gloriousness of wonder's 'as if,' as we muddle through what AI could, might, ought to be -- as alluded to by the much-admired Prof @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social
Matthew Kirschenbaum6. To that end, I hold out hope for the tare splintered wonder, even now, even here (per @titachico.bsky.social ). “Do a breakthrough.” More, please.
And the rhetorical beauty of Prof @gabrielh.bsky.social's own words: "Let us pass silently over the series of slides presented without validation or replicability that is offered as evidence for the supposed rise and fall of Chinese literature and Shakespeare in 'Appendix 2.'"
Tita ChicoProf @gabrielh.bsky.social adopts the sloppy, ill-informed approach that Appiah used for his LLM analysis on Appiah's own cv to prove the point that the approach is meaningless. It is sloppy. And it is wrong. Appiah did not do the reading.

Tita Chico------> "Running a similar classifier task on Appiah’s own academic CV helps show the absurdity of this procedure. When I asked an LLM to classify the published titles and book descriptions in Appiah’s CV... I found that Appiah would seem to be part of the trend he wants to critique." 8/n
A tour de force of analysis and exegesis. Bravo, Prof @gabrielh.bsky.social, and thank you. "Kwame Anthony Appiah Hasn’t Done the Reading: The philosopher’s report on the state of literary studies is a shambles." @chronicle.com www.chronicle.com/article/kwam...

Paula KrebsA big thank you to the NEH grantees who are getting their grants after all and who have reached out to us to thank us and, in some cases, to make donations in recognition of the work of the lawsuit. So glad you'll be able to do your projects after all. www.mla.org/About-Us/Sup...
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social is a national treasure.
