"James Joyce and Cultural Genetics is thus as much concerned with Joyce’s understanding of himself as a writer, how it involved and impacted his work, as it is with the evolution of his writing. As such, this book triangulates writer, work and the cultural conditions that created both in what is a substantial extension of traditional forms of genetic criticism. The biological metaphor that I have chosen is a suitable rubric for the investigations that follow. As a code, t

James Joyce and Cultural Genetics
As a genetic study, this book uncovers the creative DNA of James Joyce's oeuvre by looking at the cultural forces that shaped him and that he in turn shaped in…

On the Preservation of Africa's Cultural Heritage in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
In this paper we delve into the historical evolution of data as a fundamental element in communication and knowledge transmission. The paper traces the stages of knowledge dissemination from oral traditions to the digital era, highlighting the significance of languages and cultural diversity in this progression. It also explores the impact of digital technologies on memory, communication, and cultural preservation, emphasizing the need for promoting a culture of the digital (rather than a digit…

Cross-Language Evolution of Divergent Collective Memory Around the Arab Spring
The Arab Spring was a historic set of protests beginning in 2011 that toppled governments and led to major conflicts. Collective memories of events like these can vary significantly across social contexts in response to political, cultural, and linguistic factors. While Wikipedia plays an important role in documenting both historic and current events, little attention has been given to how Wikipedia articles, created in the aftermath of major events, continue to evolve over years or decades. Us…

Sociohydrodynamics: data-driven modelling of social behavior
Living systems display complex behaviors driven not only by physical forces, but also decision-making guided by information processing and molded by cultural and/or biological evolution. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified, universal descriptions of these collective behaviors. However, incorporating the individual preferences of decision-making organisms into a hydrodynamic theory is an open problem. Here, we develop a data-driven pipeline that links micromotives to macrobehavior …
