Abstract

Nowadays, there’s a search for an algorithm capable of creating robotic literary texts that rival human literary texts. This intentionality and the current production within literary panorama require a reflection that, on one hand, must focus on computers’ valences and, on the other, must revisit topics related to literary theory: the very frontiers of Literature and what configures and dictates a text as literary. This is the exercise proposed in this article.
