Abstract:

This book brings together researchers with cognitive-scientific and literary
backgrounds to present innovative research in all three variations on the
possible interactions between literary studies and cognitive science. The
tripartite structure of the volume reflects a more ambitious conception of
what cognitive approaches to literature are and could be than is usually
encountered, and thus aims both to map out and to advance the field. The first
section corresponds to what most people think of as "cognitive poetics" or
"cognitive literary studies": the study of literature by literary scholars
drawing on cognitive-scientific methods, findings, and/or debates to yield
insights into literature. The second section demonstrates that literary
scholars needn't only make use of cognitive science to study literature, but
can also, in a reciprocally interdisciplinary manner, use a cognitively
informed perspective on literature to offer benefits back to the cognitive
sciences. Finally, the third section, "literature in cognitive science",
showcases some of the ways in which literature can be a stimulating object of
study and a fertile testing ground for theories and models, not only to
literary scholars but also to cognitive scientists, who here engage with some
key questions in cognitive literary studies with the benefit of their in-depth
scientific knowledge and training.
