Program
ONCE AGAIN: FROM IMMAGINARY CONVERSATIONS TO ARTIFICIAL INTERVIEWS Posthumous fantastic conversation is a small but seemingly inexhaustible literary prose genre that includes imaginary conversations, dialogues of the dead, accounts of apparitions, minutes of séances and impossible and/or “artificial” interviews in which famous historical figures no longer alive at the time of writing intervene. The course outlines the identifying characteristics of the genre, illustrated and discussed in class through examples (readings and audio/video contributions). The history of posthumous fantastic conversation is also traced, from Plato and Lucian of Samosata to postmodernism and more recent developments related to online writing and AI. Finally, recurring themes, motifs and purposes in these dialogues are recognized.
