Bringing together an international and diverse group of scholars,
Tuning in to the neo-avant-garde offers the first in-depth study of
the radio medium's significance as a site of artistic
experimentation for the literary neo-avant-garde in the postwar
period. Covering radio works from the 1950s until the 2010s, the
collection charts how artists across the UK, Europe and North
America continued as well as reacted to the legacies of the
historical avant-garde and modernism, operating within different
national broadcasting contexts, by placing radio in an intermedial
dialogue with prose, poetry, theatre, music and film. In doing so,
the volume explores a wide variety of acoustic genres - radio play,
feature, electroacoustic music, radiophonic poem, radio opera - to
show that the medium deserves to occupy a more central place than
it currently does in studies of literature, (inter)media(lity) and
the (neo-)avant-garde. -- .
How do narratives draw on our memory capacity? How is our attention
guided when we are reading a literary narrative? What kind of
empathy is triggered by intercultural novels? A cast of
international scholars explores these and other questions from an
interdisciplinary perspective in Stories and Minds, a collection of
essays that discusses cutting-edge research in the field of
cognitive narrative studies. Recent findings in the philosophy of
mind and cognitive psychology, among other disciplines, are
integrated in fresh theoretical perspectives and illustrated with
accompanying analyses of literary fiction. Pursuing such topics as
narrative gaps, mental simulation in reading, theory of mind, and
folk psychology, these essays address fundamental questions about
the role of cognitive processes in literary narratives and in
narrative comprehension. Stories and Minds reveals the rich
possibilities for research along the nexus of narrative and mind.
