Yes—by all accounts the Qur’an was revealed and recited over ~23 years and memorized/taught orally, with annual review in Ramadan and widespread memorization by companions, which is why full memorization (hifz) remains common today. As for “why poets couldn’t compete,” the classical Muslim view is i’jaz (inimitability): the Qur’an’s Arabic style, structure, and rhetorical force were seen as unmatched despite a highly oral, poetry-rich culture, so rivals didn’t produce a convincing countertext.

What happens when students take #decolonising work beyond the classroom? 🎓 In a Philippine university, undergrads tasked with promoting #multilingualism co-constructed a powerful countertext, linking language to identity, equity & local knowledges. Abs.=Tagalog.

I'm planning a Know Your Enemies course as the capstone for my kid's homeschool, on the premise you can't really defend against that which you don't know. So texts and countertexts. Do you have a recommended countertext to this beyond the simple look at the historical results?

TEKNİK ÖZET(gpt): Makalede, Flutter’ın build() metodunun çalışma prensipleri ve widget ağacının yeniden oluşturulması sürecinde karşılaşılan zorluklar ele alınmaktadır. Yazar, setState() çağrıldığında Flutter’ın ilgili widget’ları yeniden oluşturduğunu ve bunun beklenen bir davranış olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Kullanılan Teknolojiler / Framework’ler: •Flutter: Google tarafından geliştirilen UI toolkit. Çözülmek İstenen Problem: Widget ağacının gereksiz yere yeniden oluşturulması sonucu performans düşüşleri ve beklenmeyen davranışlar. Sunulan Çözüm / Yaklaşım: •const Kullanımı: Değişmeyen widget’ları const anahtar kelimesiyle tanımlayarak, gereksiz yeniden oluşturulmaların önüne geçmek. •Widget’ları Ayırma: Bileşenleri daha küçük widget’lara bölerek, sadece gerekli kısımların yeniden oluşturulmasını sağlamak. •Key Kullanımı: Widget’lara Key atayarak, özellikle listeler gibi dinamik yapılarda, Flutter’ın widget’ları doğru şekilde eşleştirmesini sağlamak. Koddan Alınabilecek İpuçları: •const Kullanımı: const MyHeavyWidget() // Bu widget yeniden oluşturulmaz. •Widget Ayırma: class CounterText extends StatelessWidget { final int counter; const CounterText(this.counter, {super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { print("⏱️ CounterText yeniden oluşturuldu"); return Text('$counter'); } } •Key Kullanımı: ListView.builder( itemCount: myItems.length, itemBuilder: (_, i) => MyItemWidget( key: ValueKey(myItems[i].id), item: myItems[i], ), ); Benim Projelerime Katabilecekleri: •Performans Artışı: Gereksiz widget yeniden oluşturulmalarını engelleyerek uygulama performansını artırabilir. •Daha Temiz Kod: Widget’ları küçük ve yönetilebilir parçalara ayırarak kodun okunabilirliğini ve bakımını kolaylaştırabilir. •Hata Azaltma: Key kullanımıyla, özellikle dinamik listelerde, beklenmeyen davranışların önüne geçebilir.

#CounterText 10.3 is now published. euppublishing.com/toc/count/… @EdinburghUP

this will be out soon @CounterText ... it is perhaps indicative that I had to publish outside the field [education/al studies] that it addresses ...

Had the pleasure of passing these two out at the @CounterText symposium in Wroclaw this morning... they were well received.

And that’s a wrap on another highly stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable CounterText roundtable gathering! Heartfelt thanks to Marta Koronkiewicz and Paweł Kaczmarski for their outstanding organisation and warm hospitality. @EdinburghUP

this is now well under way... will be reading excerpts from the new book in the works at the @CounterText symposium next week...
