Book synopsis

This book identifies the 'cognitive humanities' with new§approaches to literature and culture that engage with recent theories of the§embodied mind in cognitive science. If cognition should be approached less as§a matter of internal representation-a Cartesian inner theatre-than as a form§of embodied action, how might cultural representation be rethought? What can§literature and culture reveal or challenge about embodied minds? The essays in§this book ask what new directions in the humanities open up when the thinking§self is understood as a participant in contexts of action, even as extended§beyond the skin. Building on cognitive literary studies, but engaging much§more extensively with '4E' cognitive science (embodied, embedded, enactive,§extended) than previously, the book uses case studies from many different§historical settings (such as early modern theatre and digital technologies)§and in different media (narrative, art, performance) to explore the embodied§mind through culture.§
