Imagining the Present As History

Speakers

Time expires. In time, events will lose contextualization. In time, everyone will fade into oblivion. The present, ultimately, is the past. In this context, a belief in the passage of time leading to certain advances is attractive enough to be fooled around with in literary works. How does a historian or an archivist view the present, and how it can instantly transform into the past?

What will stories or literature look like in the future when algorithms penetrate human arts as they have started to show today? How do we imagine literature in the future when computerization exists in all aspects of life, including the arts? Will literary works be in the language that we know of today or will there be a new imagination of language in the future, far removed from the way in which we speak today?
