The Literary Mind and the Artificial

3 credits

This course considers the relationship between literature and artificiality: how texts artificially represent the world, how the minds of authors and readers interact with such representations, and how emergent forms of artificiality, particularly AI, complicate the relationships between the written word, creativity, and the minds of authors, readers, and characters. ***Prerequisite of ENGL 100 and either ENGL 110 or the completion of 48 credit hours.*** *Note: Intended for Honours or prospective Honours students only. Students who are not English Honours majors require permission of the Department Head to register.* *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ENGL 817AL or ENGL 480AL.*
