Drawing on the explosion of academic and public interest in
cognitive science in the past two decades, this volume features
articles that combine literary and cultural analysis with insights
from neuroscience, cognitive evolutionary psychology and
anthropology, and cognitive linguistics. Lisa Zunshine's
introduction provides a broad overview of the field. The essays
that follow are organized into four parts that explore developments
in literary universals, cognitive historicism, cognitive
narratology, and cognitive approaches in dialogue with other
theoretical approaches, such as postcolonial studies, ecocriticism,
aesthetics, and poststructuralism.
"Introduction to Cognitive Cultural Studies" provides readers
with grounding in several major areas of cognitive science, applies
insights from cognitive science to cultural representations, and
recognizes the cognitive approach's commitment to seeking common
ground with existing literary-theoretical paradigms.
This book is ideal for graduate courses and seminars devoted to
cognitive approaches to cultural studies and literary
criticism.
