This paper examines — Elon ’s AI-generated encyclopedia — as an ideological infrastructure of knowledge. The analysis reveals how AI-generated knowledge can reproduce ideological bias under the guise of objectivity.

Knowledge has never been more accessible than it is today. The phrase “to Google it” has become a universal expression when searching for information online. One of the most influential websites in this context is Wikipedia because of its visibility and its comprehe ...

Ireland may have moved on from the Celtic Tiger crash in the headlines, but its aftermath still quietly shapes everyday life. CMAT’s 2025 album EURO-COUNTRY gives voice to that unspoken legacy, turning private grief into public confrontation. The viral spread of the title track which is set against images of abandoned houses and grim news clippings, shows how pop music can surface unresolved social wounds and transform silence into collective reflection.

Ireland in the 2020s is haunted by the memories of a crisis that no longer dominates headlines but continues to shape everyday life. The aftermath of the Celtic Tiger collapse lingers as a kind of national silence; an unresolved trauma that remains felt rather than openly addressed. It is into th .....

"Your ai slop bores me" is a wesbite that blurs the lines between viewer and creator. As a parody of large language models, the page brings people together through nostalgia for a simpler internet and mockery of generative AI. The goal is to foster creativity and connection, as it is a place to let go of online hostility and the surrealism of a web flooded with non-human content.

Your ai slop bores me (youraislopbores.me) is a website designed by programmer Mihir Maroju that was launched on March 2, 2026. The project, often shortened to "YASBM", was designed to be a parody of large language models (LLMs) like the ones that are used by generativ ...

Persecution and communal violence present methodological challenges for researchers of violence. One such challenge lies in connecting persecutor and victim, as well as macro- and micro- factors. Part of the solution to this challenge may come from adapting approaches of linguistic anthropology to gossip and ‘everyday talk’. This working paper proposes that persecution has two poles: collective (in which persecutors are generally not acquainted with their victims) and intimate (in which persecutors are generally well acquainted through day-to-day or other meaningful contact). By analyzing intimate persecution of ‘sorcerers’ and ‘Chinese’ in Indonesia, this working paper suggest that gossip and everyday talk enables stereotypes to be ‘pinned onto’ certain acquaintances.

By Zane Goebel and Nicholas HerrimanIntroductionSocio-cultural anthropology is often conceived of as the study of big themes in little places. It is thus not surprising that when anthropologists have turned to the issue of violence, we have been concerned with how, what might be called macro-hist .....

Ladislav Bielik's picture "The Bare-chested Man in Front of the Occupiers’ Tank" reflects both a single moment and the Czechoslovakian context of 1968. The emotional and symbolic core of the photograph—the exposed chest, the human body, the man’s expression—are analysed using Judith Butler’s (2015) understanding of the body as a form of speech within public space. Through this analysis, this article demonstrates how the street can function as a symbolic space of withdrawal, and how resistance can be expressed through the body itself.

Coming across the photograph The Bare-chested Man in Front of the Occupiers’ Tank captured by Ladislav Bielik from the year 1968 is an eye opening experience, not only for its visual effect on the viewer but also the context and history it indexes. Looking beyond the captivati ...

This article explores how poetry acts as a transformative tool for marginalized voices, guiding individuals from personal identity formation to active participation in public discourse. By cultivating critical literacy, empathy, and civic awareness, poetry enables young people, especially from underrepresented backgrounds, to articulate personal experiences and challenge societal norms. Through educational programs and the case study of Amanda Gorman’s The Hill We Climb, this paper demonstrates how poetry fosters the rhetorical and analytical skills needed for democratic engagement. Drawing on Habermas' theory of the public sphere, it argues that poetry not only supports personal growth but also enables marginalized individuals to transcend barriers in public life, advocating for an inclusive public sphere that values diverse perspectives.

In a world where marginalized voices are too often sidelined, poetry offers a powerful bridge between private identity formation and public engagement. As a form of self-expression, poetry does more than allow individuals to share their thoughts. It fosters critical literacy, emotional intelligen .....

This paper draws together discussions of the public and the private, represented talk, and conviviality by showing how an interviewee uses linguistic features to frame instances of talk as either “represented private talk” or “represented public talk.” The empirical focus of this paper is an interview recorded as part of fieldwork on leadership practices in the Indonesian bureaucracy. In this interview, the interviewee appears to add authenticity to accounts of his leadership practices by performing them through represented talk.

By Zane GoebelIntroductionThis paper engages with discussions around public and private, represented talk, and conviviality. While all three areas have received considerable scholarly attention in the past, here I seek to bring these areas together by showing how the use of particular linguistic ...

This study examines how Jeremy uses X (formerly Twitter) to challenge entrenched neoliberal assumptions and how audiences respond to these interventions within a fragmented, algorithmically mediated digital environment. Drawing on Fairclough’s framework of naturalization and de-naturalization, and Blommaert’s concept of polycentric post-digital spaces, the article analyses a tweet by Corbyn that frames social problems not as individual failings but as systemic outcomes of contemporary .

Jeremy Corbyn utilises tweets as deliberate de-naturalising interventions that challenge neoliberal 'common sense'. He does so by framing inequality and poverty as structural outcomes of a 'rigged' neoliberal political-economic system rather than as the result of individual fa ...

Spotify’s personalized playlists, such as Discover Weekly, regularly appear to create uncanny emotional connections by aligning songs with listeners’ moods and experiences. This study explores how these moments exemplify a modern form of "the sublime", blending vast algorithmic complexity with intimate, tailored curation. Drawing on theories about the sublime developed by Burke and Kant, it examines how Spotify transforms its immense music library into deeply personal experiences, evoking awe and serendipity. While these playlists inspire connection and discovery, they also raise concerns about commodification, data privacy, and the authenticity of algorithmically mediated art. As such, this study reveals the dual role of platforms like as enablers of emotional resonance and agents of commercialization, reshaping the boundaries of art, emotion, and technology in the digital age.

Life often feels like a symphony of highs and lows, moments in which everything aligns perfectly or times when the world’s weight feels unbearable. In these emotional crescendos, we often reach for music, and with just a tap, Spotify steps in as a companion. You press play, and a song begins. S .....
