Early in the history of the field of artificial intelligence (AI), a paradigm known as microworlds emerged in which researchers constructed computer simulations of aspects of the real world from which their nascent AI systems could learn. Although microworlds were ultimately abandoned, AI researchers have recently called for their return, this time borrowing explicitly from the literary genre of interactive fiction, whose forms and conventions they might use to represent the world in text for the purpose of teaching machines to speak. This confluence of literary form and scientific method invites a closer examination of the relationship between word and world in AI research. The author argues for a reading of microworlds research and of AI more broadly through the lens of literary realism and through the literary texts that comprise its data sets and from which researchers expect artificially intelligent machines to learn about the world. The question of what kind of knowledge literature represents lies at the heart of AI research and thus presents an opportunity for a deeper engagement between AI research and literary, game, and media studies.

This article takes up the figure of the DREAMer in the twenty-first-century Latinx memoir by the formerly undocumented to consider the coupling of the right to education with narratability. The author reads Alberto Ledesma’s Diary of a Reluctant Dreamer (2017), Reyna Grande’s The Distance between Us (2012), and Dan-el Padilla Peralta’s Undocumented (2015) as examples of the critical DREAMer memoir, foregrounding suppressed and subversive self-representation. Such self-fashionings are constrained by overachievement while still troubling the myth of meritocracy to determine deservingness of US citizenship. This trio of texts shows how school systems are mechanisms of coercive assimilation that reproduce a ranking regime wherein racial others are excluded or subordinated. Even as school environments can silence, they can also be safe havens for amplifying the human voice. The freedom of expression found in education marks a transformation of silence into advocacy. The present proliferation of critical DREAMer memoirs largely reflects a new shape of post-9/11 Latinx literature, as well as the subgenre of human rights and literature.
这篇文章采用了21世纪拉丁裔回忆录中的梦想者的形象，由以前没有证件的人来考虑受教育权与可贩卖性的结合。作者阅读了阿尔贝托·莱德斯马（Alberto Ledesma）的《不情愿的梦想家日记》（2017）、雷娜·格兰德（Reyna Grande）的《我们之间的距离》（2012）和丹·帕迪拉·佩拉尔塔（Dan el Padilla Peralta。这种自我塑造受到了成绩的限制，同时仍然困扰着精英政治的神话，以决定美国公民的资格。这三篇文章展示了学校系统是如何成为强制同化的机制，再现了一种排斥或服从其他种族的排名制度。即使学校环境可以保持沉默，它们也可以成为放大人类声音的避风港。教育中的言论自由标志着沉默转变为倡导。DREAMer评论回忆录的激增在很大程度上反映了9/11后拉丁裔文学的新形态，以及人权和文学的亚类别。
