Abstract:

Cognitive Approaches to Early Modern Spanish Literature is the first anthology
exploring human cognition and literature in the context of early modern
Spanish culture. It includes the leading voices in the field, along with the
main themes and directions that this important area of study has been
producing. The book begins with an overview of the cognitive literary studies
research that has been taking place within early modern Spanish studies over
the last fifteen years. Next, it traces the creation of self in the context of
the novel, focusing on Cervantes's Don Quixote in relation to the notions of
embodiment and autopoiesis as well as the faculties of memory and imagination
as understood in early modernity. It continues to explore the concept of
embodiment, showing its relevance to delve into the mechanics of the
interaction between actors and audience both in the jongleuresque and the
comedia traditions. It then centers on cognitive theories of perception, the
psychology of immersion in fictional worlds, and early modern and modern-day
notions of intentionality to discuss the role of perceiving and understanding
others in performance, Don Quixote, and courtly conduct manuals. The last
section focuses on the affective dimension of audience-performer interactions
in the theatrical space of the Spanish corrales and how emotion and empathy
can inform new approaches to presenting Las Casas's work in the literature
classroom. The volume closes with an afterword offering strategies to design a
course on mind and literature in early modernity.
