Resumo

In questo articolo si esplorano alcune forme di cross-medialità digitale della letteratura di viaggio: i blogs, i social network, le apps e il caso estremo in cui è una forma di Intelligenza Artificiale (IA) ad essere in controllo della stesura del testo. Dopo aver evidenziato la difficoltà di trovare una definizione condivisa degli scritti odeporici, si propone di considerarli non solo come un genere, ma anche come una prassi testuale che emerge dal viaggiare e dallo scrivere intese come pratiche sociali. Da questa prospettiva pragmatica si sottolinea il fatto che più la tecnologia è protagonista nel modo di concepire e mettere in forma (digitale) un viaggio, più tale esperienza e la sua testualizzazione sono oggettificate e trasformate in meri atti tecno-linguistici. Nel caso invece in cui un’IA è (messa) in controllo della narrazione, come l’esperimento 1 the Road mostra, si ritorna a una forma di testualizzazione che richiama gli hypomnemata degli antichi Greci, aprendo una nuova strada per una discussione sul piacere letterario, l’autorialità, e l’emergenza (forse) di un tecno-sé.
