The study accentuates bilingual creativity as the pedagogical intervention of postcolonial creative writing strategy in poetry class through the writing of haiku and short poems. Twenty-five students ...in their freshmen year at the English Department were engaged in reading a culturally local text (Sumatra-Javanese ethnic poetry to compose poetry from a post-colonial perspective). The workshop's five phases exploring, inciting inspirations, drafting, editing, and peer feedback provided the student, as a novice writer, with the benefit of familiarizing themselves with character, theme, and cultural issues; developing a cognitive process to negotiate different meanings in their first and second languages; and exploring creativity to write their own poetry in the second language. The scripts written in English are the product of poetry classes, which reveal students' localized knowledge and cultural literacy. The works reflect the participants’ cultural identity, even though English is the dominant language showcased in the almost fifty poems composed by the novice writers. The existence of local languages points to the development of their bilingual creativity; students in the poetry classroom are not only able to handle the meaning in the first and second languages, but also to promote their local culture to the global world.

, In ...this study, a haiku is defined as a traditional form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines,
typically with seventeen metrical units per verse arranged in a pattern of five, seven, and five units per line. The data reveals
that a system with metrical prominence cannot be applied to Chinese and Japanese metrical verse since linguistic prominence is
missing in both languages. The only common feature shared among the metrical systems of the three languages is the existence of a
contrast between two types of syllables that belong to opposite classes. However, this contrast only applies in limited situations
in the Japanese case. Lastly, instead of a universal metrical structure, the data suggests that the metrical structure in the
three languages should be distinguished.
This article contributes to work in creative geographies through the lens of river spaces and a multimodal practice among an ensemble of artists/poets/scientists. The collaboration created two ...collage series with both planned and unplanned visual, textual, and audio-visual media. Orchestrated in a time of global pandemic, learnings from the ensemble’s online creative practice are shared and discussed, including: the methodological possibilities of online collaboration and the Internet’s ability to facilitate distanced and sustained co-creation, as well as the potential of collage and poetry to reimagine relationships with rivers.

In this paper we consider the relationship between artificial intelligence and cognitive science. The aim of artificial intelligence was to understand human intelligence constructively and the aim of ...cognitive science was to understand human intelligence analytically. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have made it possible to realize intelligence by computers so far, though still far inferior to humans. From now the aim of artificial intelligence should be to understand general intelligence constructively and the aim of cognitive science should be to understand general intelligence analytically. I discuss in this paper the relationship between artificial intelligence and cognitive science using the example of our research themes: the frame problem, games, and Haiku.

Casimiro de Brito, poet, novelist, literary critic and essayist, born in Loulé (Algarve) in 1938, is linked to the turning point of Portuguese poetry that began in the 60s. In the spirit of freedom ...inherited from surrealism, his poetry becomes the place of exaltation of woman and erotic desire, expressed without any constrains. Love all life / Amar a vida inteira (2015) is a collection of poems in which the presence of the beloved woman brings about the fusion of poem and pleasure. This article is an attempt to shed light on the essentials of a poetry that moves away from the literary clichés of eroticism to draw the territory of exchange in a renewed dimension.
