From Christopher Strachey’s Love Letter Generator to today’s generative AI writing tools and multimodal models, AI technologies are reshaping how literary works are created, adapted, and circulated across media. Texts can now be generated, illustrated, voiced, animated, and transformed into comics, audiobooks, visual art, and video, prompting renewed questions about creativity, form, authorship, authenticity, and human agency.
This seminar asks: Can AI-generated literature and art be understood as forms of artificial creativity? Does AI expand, automate, or redefine human creativity? How does human–AI collaboration challenge traditional ideas of authorship and authenticity? How do generative technologies reshape intertextuality, intermediality, and the boundaries between literature and other art forms? What methodological problems arise when AI is used to analyze AI-generated literature? And how do readers, critics, publishers, and institutions respond differently to AI-generated works across literary genres and fields?
We welcome papers on AI-generated literature and multimodal works, human–AI collaboration, authorship and creativity, AI-assisted literary research, intertextuality and intermediality, and literary or artistic representations of AI.
