EACWP Arnhem 2022

At the October 2022 Arnhem conference for writing lecturers it was time to meet the people behind PanOdyssey. This is a platform ideally positioned for literary travel writers. The CREA consortium have created a new digital space for the creation and diffusion of social and cultural content. The business model seems sound, too, where writers are paid by readers who value their work. CREA, the creative room alliance has nine founding partners across Europe, in France, Italy, Spain and further afield. More recently, new associates have signed up: Linea Edizioni in Padua, an independent Italian publisher, and EDRLab, an international, non-profit development laboratory, working on interoperable digital publishing. EDRLab head office is at 14 rue Alexandre Parodi, 75010 Paris.

AI Detector

I've been looking at AI Detectors that are now stable and easy to use. The first one to write about is from a company based in Montreal, and so, as you would expect from that bilingual city, it works on English and French texts. It's called Winston AI. The AI detector tells you if written copy is generated by a human or an Artificial Intelligence text generator robot. It uses a graphic sliding scale. The software also detects plagiarism and presents a thorough list of any copied content it has found. As a user of Winston AI you just paste text into the quick scan option. You can upload bigger documents in the following formats: .docx, .pdf, .png and .jpg for the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system to convert to electronic text from scanned documents or pictures. This also works on handwriting like Google Lens and the other handwritten text readers and convertors do. The Winston AI Detector works in projects, this lets you label or title pieces you are examining for plagi...

PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing

PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing Syddansk Universitet Writing Travel in the Twenty-First Century: Mobility and Authenticity in the Planetary Emergency Travel is older than human civilization itself. Migration, trade, tourism and pilgrimage, all are forms of human movement that have existed for millennia. Yet travel is no longer what it used to be. Slow travel, flight shame, sustainable travel, eco- and anti-tourism, staycation and microadventures are but some of many recent terms testifying to a growing awareness that mobility has become inextricably intertwined with planetary concerns, regardless of whether it is the short distance of a commute to work, or that of long-distance globetrotting. With 2024 likely proving to be the hottest year on record and tourists evacuated by boat from uncontrollable forest fires on Rhodes in 2023, all the while tech billionaires promise us trips to Mars and hotels on the moon (while others perish trying to reach the Titanic), we are also told t...
