    information Review AI to Bypass Creativity. Will Robots Replace Journalists? (The Answer Is “Yes”) Andrey Miroshnichenko ID York & Ryerson Joint Graduate Program in Communication & Culture, York University, Toronto, ON M3J 1P3, Canada; [email protected] Received: 1 July 2018; Accepted: 21 July 2018; Published: 23 July 2018 Abstract: This paper explores a practical application of a weak, or narrow, artificial intelligence (AI) in the news media. Journalism is a creative human practice. This, according to widespread opinion, makes it harder for robots to replicate. However, writing algorithms are already widely used in the news media to produce articles and thereby replace human journalists. In 2016, Wordsmith, one of the two most powerful news-writing algorithms, wrote and published 1.5 billion news stories. This number is comparable to or may even exceed work written and published by human journalists. Robo-journalists’ skills and competencies are constantly growing. Research has shown that readers sometimes cannot differentiate between news written by robots or by humans; more importantly, readers often make little of such distinctions. Considering this, these forms of AI can be seen as having already passed a kind of Turing test as applied to journalism. The paper provides a review of the current state of robo-journalism; analyses popular arguments about “robots’ incapability” to prevail over humans in creative practices; and offers a foresight of the possible further development of robo-journalism and its collision with organic forms of journalism. Keywords: artificial intelligence (AI); automated journalism; robo-journalism; writing algorithms; future of news; media ecology; Turing test 1. Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is usually defined in two ways that, in a sense, are contradictory.

However, the South tends to neglect and even to negate certain peoples and their identities. Women, especially lesbians, are often silenced within southern literature. Where Tennessee Williams and James Baldwin used literature to bridge gaps between gay men and the South, southern lesbian literature severely lacks a traceable history of such connections.

  • “A Fully Formed Blast from Abroad?”: Australasian Lesbian Circuits of Mobility and the Transnational Exchange of Ideas in the 1960S and 1970S
    “A fully formed blast from abroad?”: Australasian lesbian circuits of mobility and the transnational exchange of ideas in the 1960s and 1970s In 1973, three Australian women – Kerryn Higgs, Robina Courtin and Jenny Pausacker – returned to Melbourne having spent two years in London. Later the same year, New Zealander Alison Laurie arrived home after a nine-year stint overseas, which included periods of time living in England, Scandinavia and the USA. The return of all four had a catalytic effect on lesbian politics in their home communities. Pausacker, Higgs and Courtin were credited with precipitating a physical and ideological shift away from mixed gay politics toward a feminist perspective on lesbianism. With Laurie’s arrival it appeared that “lesbian feminism hit Aotearoa New Zealand as a fully formed blast from abroad, but fell on fertile ground, among many of the lesbians from gay liberation for starters.”1 Contemporary accounts certainly present the return of all four women as agents of change. To a certain extent their impact can be explained by the personalities of the women themselves. All were intelligent, creative women who continued to shape ideas throughout their lives. As Jenny Pausacker noted: “Kerryn published the first lesbian novel for adults in Australia. I published the first lesbian novel for young adults in Australia, and Robina’s the venerable Robina [a Buddhist nun]. So we were all quite strong personalities, with quite a public focus.”2 Laurie co-founded Sisters for Homophile Equality (SHE) which was the first lesbian organization in Aotearoa New Zealand, pioneered the Lesbian Community Radio Programme on Wellington Access Radio, and brought lesbian studies into the Women’s Studies program at Victoria University in Wellington.3 However, the impact the four women had can also be traced to their respective experiences of travel.

  • Lesbian Literature in America in the Twentieth Century: a Syllabus
    Lesbian Literature in America in the Twentieth Century: A Syllabus An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) Elizabeth G. Danner Thesis Advisor Christine Smith Ball State University Muncie, Indiana July 1995 July 1995 :=:,(J'" .,' 11k'" , ' ! c!·- ... - ; tv Purpose of Thesis Literature by Lesbians is often omitted or overlooked by many survey courses, including those found in many Women and Gender Studies programs. This syllabus explores the progression of Lesbian literature and cultures as they are found in twentieth-century American society and provides a resource for future colloquiums dealing with these subjects. The selections, which are organized chronologically, were chosen specifically to expose students to a range of literary genres and Lesbian issues. Included are discussion questions and project guidelines which are intended to promote student involvement in the readings and subjects. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many thanks go to Kim and Jesse in the Women and Gender Studies Office for their encouragement in my efforts and their patience in my enthusiasm. Thanks to the Honors College for providing me with the opportunity and the incentive to complete a project such as this. As advisor, Chris Smith provided the resources and guidance I needed, as well as the freedom to make this work completely my own. Of all the friends whose patient listening skills or creative contributions were an aid to the completion of this thesis, it seems that thanks are especially due to Dan Fitzstephens, whose grammar guidance and helpful insight into the professorial mind were invaluable. A special thanks goes to my sister Courtney for her help in keeping me on task and her praise when the work was finally done.

  • Gay and Lesbian Literature in the Classroom: Can Gay Themes Overcome Heteronormativity?
    Journal of Praxis in Multicultural Education University of North Texas University of North Texas Journal of Praxis in Multicultural Education Sanders and Mathis: Can Gay Themes Overcome Heteronormativity? Historically, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) characters did not exist in the texts read and discussed in classrooms. One reason for the lack of classroom exposure to literature with homosexual themes could be contributed to avid censorship of such books. Daddy’s Roommate (1990) by Michael Willhoite was the second most banned/challenged book between 1990-2000, and Heather has Two Mommies (1990) by Leslea Newman ranked ninth as being the most banned/challenged in that decade. During the next decade both titles were not as fiercely contested. Willhoite and Newman’s book did not appear on the list of the 100 most banned/challenged books; And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell was the only book in the top ten contested books with gay and lesbian themes. Even though censorship continues to occur with LGBT books published for children, the books are not listed in the top ten censored books as often as a decade earlier. In order to fight censorship and prejudice surrounding LGBT literature, young readers as well as teachers and parents must learn how to transform their views of LGBT people. Educational organizations have realized the need for such a change in the classroom and have made a call for action; the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) passed a resolution (2007) calling for inclusion of LGBT issues in the classroom in addition to providing guidelines for training teachers on such inclusions.

  • Femme Feelings: Mapping Affective Affinities Between Femme and Third Wave Feminists
    FEMME FEELINGS: MAPPING AFFECTIVE AFFINITIES BETWEEN FEMME AND THIRD WAVE FEMINISTS Clare Lemke A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2011 Committee: Bill Albertini, Advisor Ellen Berry ii ABSTRACT Bill Albertini, Advisor This latest moment of feminism has been marked by a surge of energy around femininity and the potentially radical and queer pleasures feminists might find in feminized gender expressions. In both academic and popular contexts, contemporary feminist fascination with femininity is discussed as two separate phenomena: as evidence of a third wave feminist “reclamation” of femininity amongst young and largely heterosexual-identified women on the one hand, and as evidence of a “revival” of femme identity practices in queer communities on the other. These kinds of clear delineations between feminists based on sexual identity and age persist despite efforts in queer and feminist theory to disrupt notions of stable and coherent identity. However, viewing femme and non-queer-identified third wave feminists in isolation to each other ignores how both of these groups are innovating expressions of femininity which reject heteronormative expectations. By thinking differently about how individuals relate to each other, we can see tenuous but telling affinities between femme and third wave feminists, and imagine models for feminist organizing around such affective crossings. In this literary study, I argue that femme and non-queer-identified third wave feminists have similar understandings of their femininities and their erotic desires, if not necessarily similar sexual experiences or partners. Specifically, I trace how the affects of irony and hunger travel within and between femme theory and third wave theory as partially shared sensibilities.

  • Black Women's THOUGHTS and Black Lesbianism in A
    BlAck wOMEN’S THOUGHTS AND BlAck lESBIANISM IN A PORTUGUESE-SPEAkING cONTExT1 Geanine Vargas Escobar2 Maria Manuel R. T. Baptista3 287 ABSTRAcT The first part of this paper presents the thoughts of black women regarding feminism, taking into con- sideration that the fight for black and lesbian visibility is closely linked to the (re)formulation of inter- sectional feminism, carried out by intellectual black women. Later on, we attempt to discuss the invisibility of the black LGBT community, especially the absence of black lesbian women in the Por- tuguese-speaking context. It is believed that, with further theoretical study on black lesbianism, it is possible to think about elaborating new concepts for lesbian, feminist, post-colonial and lusophone theories and, most importantly, for the field of Cultural Studies. kEywORDS Black lesbianism; identity; invisibility; black women’s thoughts; post-colonial thinking. Black women’s thoughts and intersectionalities Issues like the right to vote, to work, to maternity, of body integrity, the fight against domestic violence, and others, have brought important advances in the improvement of quality of life for many women, mainly for heterosexual white women. Even though numer- ous feminist movements have come up, throughout the centuries, dealing with the protec- tion of human rights, women’s participation in politics, specific legislation for that subordinate group, neither of these social movements was able to reflect on the situation of black lesbians. Besides reflecting on the purposeful neglect of lesbian identities, this paper also takes into account the issue of lesbian’s color/race which becomes an added focus of discrimination.
