Research

My research investigates the evolving notion of modern authorship, from Renaissance origins through its Romantic and Postmodernist reconfigurations, up to its potential dissolution in the age of generative AI and Dataism, where LLMs challenge traditional understandings of authorship by producing texts in the style of deceased authors, questioning the very notion of authorial subjectivity. In particular, I focus on authorship as a constantly contested and floating notion, by undertaking a comparative analysis of four case studies challenging stable paradigms: William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786-1859), Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), and Patrizia Valduga (1953-–), with the aim of showing how challenges currently associated with generative AI are part of a longer genealogy of 鈥榗ontested authorships鈥�.

Building on this genealogy, my research also explores the intersections between literature, technology, philosophy, and thanatology addressing how digital environments 'resuscitate' literary voices and enhance the author-reader relationship. My focus is on phenomena such as posthuman authorship, algorithmic memory, and the 鈥渄igital afterlife鈥� of authors, drawing on theories of necromanticism and spectrality to examine how AI-generated contents revive the practice of speaking with the dead and how literature thereby emerges as a performative space of resurrection.
