Seminar 'Why and How AI Revolutionizes Innovation Management'
As we are aware, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing the way we live and the way companies work. At the same time, AI is challenging and transforming the core axioms and assumptions underlying the innovation process and its management. Starting from the overall question Why and how AI revolutionizes innovation management, in our upcoming seminar, we are going to discuss why the innovation process changes with the application of AI, and how companies should staff, organize, and strategize to profit from that change. We are inviting you to join us in discussing this hot topic on Tuesday, December 14, at 18:30.
Speaker: Associate Professor Zeljko Tekic, HSE Graduate School of Business, Department of Business Informatics

Webinar ‘Plurilingual Creativity at Work: Theoretical and Empirical Arguments for Expanding Framework for Research in the Consequences of Acquisition and Use of Multiple Languages for Creative Behavior’
This presentation focuses on the consequences of multilingual practice for creative behavior. Interest in the relationship between multilingualism and creativity was revived about 15 years ago. This relationship was formalized in the Multilingual Creative Cognition (MCC) framework and received extensive empirical support showing a positive effect of multilingualism on creative behavior. However, the MCC paradigm appears to take a rather narrow perspective on these two phenomena.
In this talk, after briefly recapitulating the MCC paradigm, we present an argument supporting the need for a broader perspective on the relationship between multilingual and creative practices. We introduce some of the plurilingual and pluricultural factors, which may shape personality traits fostering creativity. Then, we provide empirical evidence from the studies investigating these factors. The presentation culminates with a discussion of the applications of the expanded Plurilingual Creativity paradigm in education and introduces Plurilingual Intercultural Creative Keys (PICK) program, which constitutes a unified teaching model blending language-learning and creativity-fostering instructions into school curriculum.
Start time: 15:00

'Sensology and Enargeia': Richard Newhauser at the seminar 'Symbolic Middle Ages'
On December 15, 2021 at 18.00 (GMT +3) Richard Newhauser, Professor of English and Medieval Studies at Arizona State University, will give a talk "Sensology and Enargeia" at the seminar "Symbolic Middle Ages" organised by the Centre for Medieval Studies (HSE, Moscow).
Using sensology (or sensory studies) to examine the feelings produced by the reception of intensely vivid descriptions that early rhetoricians termed the literary technique of enargeia provides a focal point that at once claims specificity in particular collective responses to the reception of literature within sensory communities and also provides a channel from sensation to perception that no longer privileges the visual.
