Call for Papers

Special Issue: Artificial Intelligence and World Literature

An old dream in world literature studies is to be able to read it all — world enough and time. With large language models, we now have access to information systems that have, in a sense, "read" it all, and that allow us to ask questions we have not been able to ask before. Like the internet, LLMs constitute a global information structure, but one that is more profound in its capacity to inform, interpret, respond, and translate. The development of AI in recent years has provided new infrastructure for academic inquiry with significant implications for world literature as a field.
