“…In the days of Plato, a wise philosopher interacted with one or two less-sophisticated friends or acquaintances, raising trenchant questions that typically stumped the friends and made them rethink their own convictions. By not much later, perhaps even with the teaching of Aristotle (Jackson, 1920), the number of eager students expanded so much that the teacher had to resort to lecture rather than one-on-one exchanges with an individual student. And before books became widely and cheaply available, it made sense for an expert to share special knowledge about some field with interested people not by writing books but by telling them about the subject matter, that is, lecturing at them (Compayré, 1893; Perkin, 2010).…”

This paper examines trends about university teaching in the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries. The effectiveness of teaching and evaluating university teachers is questioned, as is how faculty roles will change in light of ongoing transitions in resources, expectations, and technology. Faculty members will soon cease to lecture at universities and must be prepared for future empirically based university teaching practices in which faculty members instead engage in individual mentorship, small seminars, and advising. Teachers of psychology, alongside other faculty, must purposefully develop new skills to navigate the quickly changing academic road into the future.

“…This belief underscores the necessity for art to appear authentic, depicting either existing realities or plausible scenarios. Aristotle's discussions laid the groundwork for understanding the realism inherent in fictional narratives, suggesting that it is preferable for a narrative to convincingly portray the impossible rather than being unconvincing about the plausible (Jackson, 1920). Realism is commonly associated with the novel genre due to its extensive nature, allowing writers to intricately weave numerous details that contribute to a lifelike portrayal.…”

The utilization of magical realism is pertinent to the postcolonial context and the consequent expression of dissent against the impact of postcolonialism on the political, social, and cultural aspects of formerly colonized countries. Magical realism, characterized as subversive, hybrid, and mestizo, has been recognized as a powerful means of social protest. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of comprehensive scholarly attention on the correlation between magical realism and social protest in the works of Hussain. This thesis examines the manner in which magical realism has aided Hussain in portraying and capturing the essence of "The Swan's Wife". The author's use of magical realism in his work has a clear and noticeable political aspect. It not only prompts the reader to question the supposedly fixed nature of reality, but also examines the boundaries of an implicitly politicized ideology that undermines the fundamental framework of his worldview. This theme investigation aims to illustrate that Hussain's fiction not only has explicit social consequences but also carries a subtle tone of protest against the social structure. To create the appropriate level of protest, the author used magical realism. This technique involves incorporating and contrasting different components from many sources, such as oral/folklore culture, myth, and stereotypes.

“…This seems to be a widespread assumption regarding the Aristotelian corpus, though, since the scholarship rightly prefers to avoid pronouncements on such issues, it does not often get stated. An explicit statement of this thesis isJackson (1920). What seems to be the best evidence in its favour-the possibly original title of the Physics, (pvaixr/ 'Axgoaaig, 'Physical Lecture' -is actually a strong argument for how much we need to take the concept of an Aristotelian lecture metaphorically.…”

On the Aristotelian paragraph

This article takes its starting-point from the intuition that, in some sense, the extant Aristotelian corpus was written in paragraphs. I hasten to explain. First – almost needless to say this explicitly – I do not suggest that the Aristotelian corpus was set out in the indented form we are familiar with from modern editions. Second, and more to the point, I do not have anything to say about the question, whether the text was formally set out divided by the paragraphē mark (a horizontal line used to signal divisions in ancient papyrus rolls). The paragraphē was certainly in use in Aristotle's time – he himself refers to it in Rhet. 1409a20 – although how widespread its use was, we do not know. Nor do we know with any certainty how the ancients themselves conceptualised this mark and its significance. It does seem, however, to have corresponded more to our concept of a full stop than to our concept of a paragraph. Be that as it may, my argument is not about how the text was set out on the space of the page, but about how the text was conceived: in the most general sense, how it was written and read. The Aristotelian corpus may well have been originally, in appearance, just a constant stream of undivided columns on papyri. Yet it had a certain discursive structure which, I suggest, is best approached as that of a paragraph. It is upon this discursive structure of Aristotle's works that I focus in this article.
