Vanderbilt English is hiring a tenured associate professor of Global Modernism. We especially welcome candidates who study Anglophone modernisms comparatively alongside other modernist traditions of the early 20th century.
Please help me get the word out!
@aarthivadde.bsky.socialDone!

@aarthivadde.bsky.socialThe way this author was targeted is appalling, but what’s worse is the Goncourt Academy not having a AI screening strategy for all longlisted books. Once they decided to remove his novel from the longlist for alleged AI, they became bound to subject other longlisted novels to the same test.
@johannawinant.bsky.socialReposted by @aarthivadde.bsky.socialThe English department at Reed College—my department—is hiring a TT prof in post-45 US fiction and/or narrative. This position includes teaching in the interdisciplinary humanities program (mostly the freshman core course) as well as possibly contributing to upper level interdisciplinary programs.
@neglectedbooks.comReposted by @aarthivadde.bsky.socialNeglected Circadian Novels: Novels set within a 24-hour period are a mostly post-19th Century phenomenon. There's many more to this sub-genre than just Ulysses and Mrs. Dalloway. Here are a dozen or so I mentioned in a talk for the British Ass'n for Modernist Studies in 2024

@aarthivadde.bsky.socialThis is fabulous, serious reporting about Pangram and the internet to come: “But if it’s to win over everyone with an interest in halting the flow of chatbotese into human thought and communication, it will have to answer an existential question: Can we really trust Pangram to tell the difference?”

@aarthivadde.bsky.socialI was lucky enough to sit down for an extended interview about We the Platform with the endlessly creative @tomcomitta.bsky.social. We talked about experimental writing, the early days of the Web, mail art, and escaping the doom loop around literary study.

@aarthivadde.bsky.socialWow, ridiculous
@aarthivadde.bsky.socialNot sure there’s anyone to blame here except Goodreads for letting review farms degrade the platform, but I would totally call out a human book reviewer for this shit.
