A Moment of the Histories Lost: Stephen J. Greenblatt and the Echoes of the New Historicism

Greenblatta, predavaca engleske književnosti na Berkeleyu do 1969., harvardskoga znanstvenika i za mnoge „zacetnika novoga historizma“, iako taj sekspirolog i pulicerovac nije prvi uporabio uvodne anegdote ni sintagmu „novi historizam“, a nije u Sjedinjenima Americkim Državama ni prvi naglasio važnost razmatranja pojmova „pisanje nacije“ ‚writing nation‛ i „pisanje regije“ ‚writing region‛. Međutim, u knjizi nisu presuceni ni prigovori novohistoristickomu svjetonazoru i njegovoj darvinovskoj „razvojnosti povijesti“, koji se uglavnom odnose na ponekad pretjeranu historizaciju književnosti, vezivanje uz „glavnostrujastvo“ (mainstream), velicanje „misaonoga naprednjastva“ na stetu podrobnoga uvida u to kako se pisac nosi s drustvenima prijeporima i cinjenicu da neka novohistoristicka djela ne donose pojasnjenja o samoj povijesti, uzimajuci ju kao fait accompli.

More than Virtualization: Cultoromics or a New Discovery of the Cultural Genome

However, the paper notes that the distinguished British linguist David Crystal associated it with economics and ergonomics, as did most of the readers, although the authentic American suffix is not -onomics but rather the bioscientific and neologistic -omics, whereas Michel and Aiden describe genomics as a study of organisms and their genomes, that is, their integral deoxyribonucleic sequences. Exemplified by a Google Books n-gram search pertaining to an American English usage frequency of the notion of “Croatia” from 1990 to 2008, the paper analyzes a scientific deployment of the new realizations and the development of software facilitating a machine retrieval of a spoken, written, or of a symbolic natural language, thus synthesizing a computerized theory and artificial intelligence with a cognitive psychology, linguistics, and logic to interactively correct or translate the texts and extract information. What is more, such an approach is also observable in a contemporary algorithmic speech synthesis, data mining, search engines, or in text compressors. Thus, an exploratory mining of the data stored in the permanently accessible digital archives of almost unlimited capacities represents a completely new behavioristic study, as well as a research in cultural phenomenology, in the so-called “narrative networks, ” reflected by a usage of certain words in a language. Additionally, the author notices a reality of almost 4% of all the printed editions being scanned by Google Books so far, in a pursuit for an apparently encrypted truth. As the statisticians, having mined that largest contemporary linguistic database of approximately 5.2 million digitized exemplars, computed that the holdings are comprised of the fascinating 500 billion words, emphasized is a fact that more than 360 billion of them are of English provenience, followed by the French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Russian and Hebrew ones. In such a multidisciplinary environment, the application of culturomic principles from the year 2000 on also enables the development of websites, for example, of Google Labs, which philologically function as special algorithmic, chronological search engines for the browsing of tokens, that is, of the developmental forms of a word or of the entire phrases in the history of humankind. Conclusively, the paper examines a necessity to acquire a systematic biological, encyclopedic, engineering or psychological knowledge to basically comprehend what the Program of Evolutionary Dynamics calls a “cultural genome.”

English Language as a Promoter of Media Literacy Education

Communications in computer and information science, 2016

The paper therefore compares appropriation, collective intelligence, distributed cognition, experiment, judgment, multitasking, negotiation, networking, simulation, performance, play and transmedia navigation in a mother tongue (for example, in Croatian) to English, which de facto is a lingua franca. Hypothetically, language instruction within an expanded media literacy concept facilitates a unified empowering and protective perspective, for it provides for an examination of representational typology to detect censorship, commercialization, copyright breaches, gender and racial stereotypes (for example, sexist expression), propaganda, violence and the Internet privacy infringements (that is, cyberbullying) in the new digital “narratives” or “texts,” too.
