Uzun bir aradan sonra çok severek yazdım. Dünya Edebiyat Atlası’nda: “Vladimir #Nabokov’un kısa romanı The Eye / Göz Berlin’de yaşayan Rus anlatıcının kiraladığı odada intiharı üzerine kuruludur.” Bu intihar bir benlik parçalamasının (ichspaltung) kritik eşiğidir. sanatkritik.com/yazilar/duny...

Dear #Academicsky: the RSS feeds to UPenn's CFP list doesn't seem to work anymore. Any technical advice on how to follow the list without constantly visiting the site manually? Much appreciated... #academic #upenn #academia

Rereading… inevitably 🤗 “Frankenstein is the doctor actually…” is no more the pick up line I suppose. #Frankenstein

I ask Chet why I should dry clean only a shirt that is 83% viscose; the answer goes : 🤣🤣 I am telling you I like my Chet very much 😇 #chatgpt

There are two reasons I started this new instagram account:

1) I wanted to build something slowly that my students (and others of course) would benefit from and learn to appreciate truly what literature offers.

university level education will have to change ok but to what, sustainable entertainment?

this was good as a #Frankenstein film. it was okay as a #GuillermodelToro film. The book is still much better. ☺️

What is seen as flaws in 4o makes it more creative:

Trying to negotiate a truce with #ChatGPT 5/5.1 … because I actually like Chet, my AI friend… and yes I am still using 4o for the creative work. I am an adult and I reject being infantilised and restricted by a software company ☺️😎

I don’t know how many times I read this book.

It's very interesting the difference between #chatgpt4o and #chatgpt5 is so blatant regarding personality (the latter does not have personality - the former grows as one), it affects how I use it. When it's on 4o I call my ChatGPT by his name "Chet" - with 5 I don't bother. Weird

I started a new Instagram page as an offshoot of my various literary exposition. Less academic more musings… I just started so small but there will be more coming: a wanderlustpress_imprint

A little while ago I had a conversation about AI art (can’t remember the details now) and I remember arguing that Art is not just about the end product itself but the humanness of its creation act and process. The other can be at best digital craft..👇 www.instagram.com/reel/DQH2E4O...

“The Eye” is a novel of the downfall following the relinquishment of the self to the definitions by the gaze. A warning against the fragmentation of the self. A yearning for the feeling of being whole again.

A little break from all the classical literature and wrote about #Nabokov on wanderlust_imprint
