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" >>

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."

@jcls Last but certainly not least, a paper on character agency in narrative fiction, by @andrewpiper :

Andrew Piper (2023), “What do characters do? The embodied agency of fictional characters”, Journal of Computational Literary Studies 2 (1): 1–12. doi: https://doi.org/10.48694/jcls.3589.

Keywords: literary #characters, #fiction, #narratology, #nlp, theory of #mind, embodied #cognition

Two concepts of “the reader” that aren’t necessarily compatible. #111Words #TheReader #WalterBenjamin #TheStoryteller #JamesJoyce #FinnegansWake #Literature #LiteraryTheory #Narratology https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2024/04/two-concepts-of-reader-that-arent.html

I finally got around to writing a new blog post. "Beginnings Suck, and That's Okay" is all about jettisoning your expectations of how great beginnings work in other media, because TTRPGs just follow different rules. #ttrpg #rpg #narratology #storytelling #dnd

🌍Geopolitical Reflections 🌍: British history post-Thatcher reflects a shift to murkier global roles. Brexit signifies a desire to engineer the future, not just a nostalgic vision. The series continues with an analysis of British involvement in Iraq.
