麻豆影院 Prof.听Evron:
Nir Evron is Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at Tel Aviv University. He holds a B.A. from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Stanford University.
Prof. Evron works primarily on late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century American literature and culture, with forays into Hebrew and European contexts. His first book, The Blossom Which We Are: The Novel and the Transience of Cultural Worlds (2020), is a literary history of the emergence and dissemination of the trope of cultural extinction鈥攖he terminal ending of a collective form of life鈥攊n European, American, and Hebrew literatures. His current book project explores the burst of animal stories in turn-of-the-century American literature.
He is the co-editor, together with Roi Tartakovsky, of a recent special issue titled The AI Revolution: Speculations on Authorship, Pedagogy, and the Future of the Profession (Poetics Today, June 2024), which brings together prominent literary scholars and theorists to muse about the future of humanist learning and teaching in the age of Large Language Models.
