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.
The Classroom as Counter-Archive: Place-Based Pedagogies of Community Empowerment
Education is an ideal means of empowerment, for it enables students to take ownership of the historical and personal archives that stand for their communities. This panel regards the classroom as a privileged site of such empowerment—particularly for students from immigrant families—and seeks proposals on how to equip them to become active agents in producing their own interpretations of the cultural and spatial memory they share with their forebears.
