This roundtable session initially took place as part of the international conference “Childhood, Youth, and Identity in South Asia,” organized by the Department of History, Shiv Nadar University, Greater Noida, and the Centre for Publishing, Ambedkar University Delhi, India, on January 6–7, 2020.

This paper delves into the transformative intersection of emerging technologies and digital libraries, illuminating a path toward an enriched and accessible knowledge landscape. Focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR), the study explores how these technologies redefine digital library experiences. AI and ML algorithms empower intuitive content curation and recommendation, reshaping the way users interact with digital resources. NLP bridges the gap between human language intricacies and digital systems, enhancing search functionalities and making information retrieval seamless. AR overlays digital information onto the physical world, expanding interactive learning possibilities, while VR immerses users in virtual realms, revolutionizing educational paradigms. The paper critically examines the practical integration of these technologies, ensuring digital libraries not only preserve vast knowledge repositories but also present information in engaging and accessible formats. Through AI-driven metadata generation and content tagging, digital libraries are systematically organized and enriched, amplifying search accuracy. These innovations not only preserve the past but also illuminate a future where knowledge is universally accessible, fostering curiosity, learning, and exploration. The study not only theoretically explores the potential of these technologies but also delves into the perceptions of practical library users, ensuring a user-centric approach in shaping the digital libraries of tomorrow. This research contributes significantly to the evolving landscape of digital libraries, paving the way for inclusive, immersive, and engaging knowledge experiences for diverse users worldwide.

Straipsnyje aptariamas postmodernistinės hermeneutikos ir fenomenologijos santykis, nuošaly paliekant platesnį hermeneutinio skaitymo nuostatų aprašymą. Iš pradžių hermeneutika, iš fenomenologijos perėmusi pagrindinę ir jai labai reikalingą intencionalios sąmonės sampratą, ne tik iš naujo peržiūrėjo savo santykį su sava tradicija, bet ir pasuko į antimetodologinį interpretacijų kraštutinumą. Taip susiformavo pozityvistinės (Emilio Betti, E. D. Hirscho) ir fenomenologinės (Martino Heideggerio, Hanso-Georgo Gadamerio) hermeneutikos opozicija. Kaip tokių kraštutinumų įveika ir grįžimas prie labiau subalansuotos interpretacijos strategijos bus nurodyta Paulio Ricoeuro fenomeloginės hermeneutikos variantas ir XX amžiaus pabaigos amerikiečių postmodernistinė hermeneutika, siūlanti literatūros kritikai atnaujintus supratimo modelius, grindžiamus teorinio ir praktinio mąstymo bei loginės ir retorinės raiškos sinteze. Postmodernistinės hermeneutikos ir fenomenologijos santykis straipsnyje yra nusakomas remiantis dviem Ricoeuro pasiūlytais teiginiais: 1) hermeneutika yra Husserlio fenomenologijos vadinamojo idealizmo kritinė interpretacija ir 2) nepaisant minėtos opozicijos, fenomenologija save pilnai gali realizuoti tik tapdama hermeneutinių skaitymų prielaida. Ricoeuras šiuolaikinei hermeneutikai yra įdomus gebėjimu sinkretinti įvairias XX amžiaus filosofines kryptis, o ypač pastangas semiotiką susieti su hermeneutikos pagrindais. Straipsnio pabaigoje pateikiamos kelios pastabos apie hermeneutikos tradiciją lietuvių kultūroje. The article discusses hermeneutic relations with phenomenology and anti-methodical tendency of understanding (Heidegger, Gadamer) as an opposition to so-called positivistic branch (Betti, Hirsch). The main task of postmodern hermeneutics is to reject this opposition of understanding, to find a more syncretic model of interpreting literature, to connect semiotics with hermeneutics, as Paul Ricoeur suggested it. At the end of the twentieth-century, a lot of hermeneutic books were published in the USA. They focused on how to renew the interpretation of literary creation (Madison, Bruns, Caputo, Bernstein, Davidson, Head, Palmer, Silverman, Weinsheimer). The authors believed that the contemporary literary criticism has to embrace the scientific and creative moments of understanding, as well as the theoretical and practical dimensions of thinking. Thus, literary criticism should be expressed not only in analytical logical way, but in rhetorical artistic style, too. Hermeneutic perspective suggests that the work of literature should be understood in two ways: as aesthetic object or written form and as spoken form and discourse/dialogue about life, then the role of the reader becomes very active and interpretation develops into introspection. A short survey of the tradition of the Lithuanian hermeneutics is presented at the end of the article.

Whataboutism Data format The dataset consists of one plain text and one tab-separated file per article. The text file contains the contents of the article. The tsv file contains one propaganda technique per line with the following information: article_id, technique, begin_offset, and end_offset The naming convention for the files is as follows: - article[unique_id].txt for the plain-text file - article[unique_id].labels.tsv for the annotations files There are two subfolders as train with 550 articles and test with 240 articles.
