Two incredible lectures from Piotr and David, two books signed by the author for the first time ever in my life; there’s nothing more than these I appreciate the most. Actually, there is, a copy of @PiotrBlum ’s new book gifted to me. I’ll treasure it with care.

[Piotr Blumczyński @PiotrBlum]

Highlight of the day: finally getting to meet the legendary @Z_Jiaming who travelled hundreds of kilometres to listen and respond to our talks. This is the most carefully read copy of my book I've ever been asked to sign!

Every self-respecting (self-indulgent?) translation theorist should at some point engage with Walter Benjamin (not just "The Task"!). Here's my recent essay (OA) on how his "aura" has been misapplied, and what it can offer us. @Neil_Sadler @Philotrad

In this study, not only did 94% of AI submissions go undetected, but in 83.4% of cases, they received higher grades than submissions from real students.
It's time "to embrace the 'new normal' of AI to enhance education" - don't you agree? But how exactly?

My article 'Temporality and Translation: Thematic and non-thematic narrative' is now available

https://t.co/fGBar036sK

My argument draws on @PiotrBlum to argue that temporality and storytelling are connected by translation rather than being identical or completely separate.

@Neil_Sadler Always a killjoy when reading in high spirits

[Jiaming Zheng @Z_Jiaming]

@Neil_Sadler @m_deceit Really intriguing, look forward to reading it Neil!

📢A new Point of Departure article on ‘Getting Critical about Critique’ includes a series of provocations by theorists to unpack & open-up notions of critique and criticality in Higher Ed. It is accompanied by a CfP to further explore what we mean by ‘critical perspectives’🧵...

[Matt Valler @mattvaller]

Life milestone today: my first academic publication, co-authored with @PiotrBlum for @The_Translat0r. "Reassembling the ruins: revisiting Latour's concept of translation in Modernity's growing aftermath." Very proud of this work. Published Open Access. https://t.co/Fkbpn0abwu

[Piotr Blumczyński @PiotrBlum]

Looking forward: announcements and launches!

Brian Baer is always well worth listening to. One of the most erudite, knowledgeable, and insightful voices in TS these days.
