Abstract:

Agile user requirements are typically givens as user stories written using natural language and they come in different forms. The most complex form of stories to work with are epics. If epics are poorly understood, they can contribute to threats regarding the sprints or projects becoming behind schedule. It can be attributed to the epic's complexity. The research aimed to explore and attempt the use of Stanza from the Stanford NLP group in the decomposition of epics by creating a text generative model. We have also utilised the chunking technique to formulate the tasks from the generated user

Abstract:

Epics have a major role in pre-written culture areas where history education is ensured by oral narratives As it is known, a poem or a ballad formed as a result of an event affecting all or a part of a nation constitutes the first phase of the epic. This poem spreads from language to language, expands over time with poems related to other events, and takes the form of an epic by being edited by an epic writer. In this context, epics are not independent of history. however every epic does not exactly coincide with historical facts. It is normal for a narrative that has lived in oral culture for

These pedagogical texts shaped the composition of Latin epic by Jesuit students.

Abstract:

This paper aims to compare the narrative form and themes of folk epic (as typified by Labaw Donggon) and the contemporary fantasy-adventure film (as typified by the four Enteng Kabisote films). Labaw Donggon, an epic from the Sulod society of Central Panay, possesses all the universally decipherable elements of the epic narrative. On the other hand, the Enteng Kabisote films’ narrative forms, themes, social contexts, and function may be generalized as applicable to most, if not all, of the other fantasy-adventure films at the turn of the century. The four films are found to be episodic like et

Abstract:

World history knows bright times full of horrific events, which Stefan Zweig called figuratively “the most beautiful hours of humanity”. During this period, the most advanced representatives of their time, the so-called just people's conscience, experienced the dramatic events of their time in a sharp and powerful way, creating great creators of the human psyche. Such works, which reflect the spiritual and social development of nations in a highly artistic form, include the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the Divine Comedy of the tragedies of Dante and Shakespeare.

Abstract:

This paper reconsiders the idea that Indian Mahāyāna was specially involved with or indebted to the use of writing. Focusing on an analysis of the words ud√grah, √dhṛ, and pari ava√āp, it argues that like the texts of other pre-modern Indian religious traditions, Mahāyāna sūtras were primarily used orally and mnemically, though like epics, purāṇas, and non-Mahāyāna Buddhist sūtras, they were also written and venerated in written form.

Abstract:

Numbers, like the number eight, can be found in world literature, including in the mythology of the Turkic peoples, which is one of its main components, and genres belonging to oral folk literature. The number eight, used in folklore examples, attracts attention with its sacred semantics. The number eight, which is one of the figures of ancient beliefs, mythical thinking, the old cosmogony of the “world model” and fantastic ideas, takes part in a number of myths, epics, tales and narratives, either in the form of a specific number or in the form of elements that complete the number.

Abstract:

AbstractThe German and Dutch historiography of eighteenth-century patriotism defines two different forms of patriotism. It is either presented as an enlightened and virtuous-eudemonic form of ʻlove for the fatherlandʼ based on reason, or as an ideology that foreshadows nineteenth-century emphatic forms of aggressive nationalism. A critical reading of the mid-eighteenth-century epics Cyrus by Christoph Martin Wieland and De Gevallen van Friso by Willem van Haren shows that the discourses are strongly intertwined. Heroism in these epics is based on a personal experience of war acts and no longer

Abstract Oral traditions form the bedrock of human cultural heritage, encompassing storytelling, songs, epics, chants, and rituals that have transmitted histories, values, and worldviews long before the invention of writing systems. More than static remnants of bygone eras, oral traditions are living legacies that continue to evolve, reflecting the adaptability, resilience, and creativity of human societies. In India, epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana have been preserved through diverse oral performances, ensuring their vitality across generations and cultural landscapes (Pollock 24

Among the folk literature products, the epic genre stands out the most as the representation of social and cultural identity. Because the epic is very related to the history of the society and the important events they experienced and it represents the common feelings and emotions of the society from which it emerged towards these history and events. The most striking aspects of epics, in addition to their formal features, are their themes and topics. These themes and topics include the society's general ideas, their readings of past events, as well as their hopes and dreams for the future. In

Abstract:

Players in online games frequently choose the opposite gender when they select an avatar. Previously, this has been attributed to a player's unconscious sexual anxieties and the need to experiment through the anonymous location of the avatar. However, this paper argues that the development of choice in games, where players have frequently selected the female form for ludic reasons, means that this choice has become normalised through a historical process. The avatar is frequently considered as a tool, with gender regarded as a freely admitted aesthetic pleasure. The player does not see this as

Because of its form of narration and its reception at the court of Artus it is rather a way of exposing 'radical contingency'. Thus narration turns into chance with an unpredictable ending.

At the time of what is considered primitive today, our ancestors were a hundred times more poets than we are. Thousands of years ago, the way of thinking of our ancestors was in the form of “poetic observation”: they accepted their life and everything in nature as a symbol of their imaginary concepts. At that time it was understood that the sky, water, greenery, sun, moon, light and darkness had a soul; the day was replaced by night, and the struggle between good and evil was thought to be over.
