CFP: “Intelligence,” Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association (JMMLA), Spring 2024

The Journal of the Midwestern Modern Language Association invites submissions for a Spring 2024 special issue on the theme of “Intelligence.”

In 2021, as a consequence of the pandemic, schools and colleges across the country placed a temporary freeze on standardized testing, reinforcing doubts regarding the necessity and efficacy of such tests to assess intellectual potential. Soon thereafter, the November 30th 2022 launch of ChatGPT-3 elicited responses ranging from the apocalyptic (the software is a huge step toward artificial general intelligence) to the skeptical (the software is not and cannot be intelligent).

Call for Participants

Call for Creative Submission | Writing with the Bots | AI Literature Submission

Using neural networks, the AI literature tools produce human-like pieces of literature that are, in most cases, marked by twisted imitations of the masterpieces both in language and content. The ‘Artificial’ is repetitive and selected from the vast body of literature available on the web or from the classics, a particular language model is fed with. With this caveat, we venture into experimenting with writing with the Bots.

Rupkatha Journal is inviting submissions of AI literature following the instructions below:

The Caribbean region is a vibrant and culturally diverse space where languages, literatures, and identities have long intertwined. In the digital age, these intersections are increasingly complex, opening up exciting avenues for interdisciplinary exploration. This call for papers invites graduate students to examine how digital technologies are reshaping Caribbean languages and literatures, while also influencing the construction of identities in multifaceted ways.

Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

Dear colleagues,

The success we had in 2021 with our techling2021- UVigo_T&P congress, held online, has encouraged us to keep working. 

Indeed, we are proud to announce the la I edition of the ParatradIT-2024_UVigo_T&P. International Congress of Paratranslation Interlinguas and Transmedia, organized by the Translation & Paratranslation Research Group (T&P) from the Universidade de Vigo, together with the Universidad de Córdoba.

The Congress will take place both on-site and remotely, between March 20th–22nd, 2024. There are five Congress languages: Spanish, Galician, French, English, and Portuguese.

In Postinternet: art after the internet, Marisa Olson defines the ‘postinternet’ variously as “a moment, a condition, a property, and a quality that transcends new media” (2017). Not simply a historical marker in relation to the advent of online networks, the ‘postinternet’ “encapsulates and transports network conditions and their critical awareness as such, even so far as to transcend the internet” (2017).

Generative AI is changing how we conceptualize writing and thus thinking and creation. As scholars of literature and writing, we are uniquely positioned to reflect on these changes. To this end, this panel aims to spark interdisciplinary conversations about AI and its relation to writing, the writing process, and writing instruction. We hope to encourage an inclusive forum for exchanging perspectives, experiences and practices.
