Offer Description
Experience and research in the above areas will therefore be viewed favourably. Basic knowledge of the mechanisms of AI and excellent knowledge of Russian and English are also required. Despite the growing attention paid to Russian dystopia, the link between it and AI remains poorly explored, especially in relation to Russia's historical internal tensions and current political situation. Through the analysis of several emblematic narrative texts from the last five years, still unpublished outside Russia,this research aims to investigate the ways in which Russian dystopia and AI shape the collective imagination, becoming a mirror of the country's social and political dynamics.The textual corpus will then be analysed through an integrated approach that combines literary criticism theories on dystopia, biopolitics, posthumanism and transhumanism. Reference to the cultural and ideological variations of posthumanism in Russia's recent history will also be central The selection is carried out through the comparative evaluation of the scientific-professional curriculum, scientific productivity and an oral interview Italy Eligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: EUROPE Eligibility of fellows: nationality/ies:
