Cognition, Literature and History / Mark J. Bruhn

Public ISBD Titre : Cognition, Literature and History Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark J. Bruhn, Auteur ; Donald R. Wehrs, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Importance : 283 p. Format : 24.6 x 17.4 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-72209-4 Langues : Anglais Résumé : Cognition, Literature and History models the ways in which cognitive and literary studies may collaborate and thereby mutually advance. This volume integrates cognitive-scientific research with literary-historical concerns in order to show how understanding of underlying structures of mind can productively inform literary analysis and historical inquiry, and how formal and historical analysis of distinctive literary works can reciprocally enrich our understanding of those underlying structures. Applying the cognitive neuroscience of categorization, emotion, figurative thinking, narrativity, self-awareness, theory of mind, and wayfinding to the study of literary works and genres from diverse historical periods and cultures, the authors argue that literary experience proceeds from, qualitatively heightens, and selectively informs and even reforms our evolved and embodied capacities for thought and feeling. This volume investigates and locates the complex intersections of cognition, literature and history in order to advance interdisciplinary discussion and research in poetics, literary history, and cognitive science.

Literature, Speech Disorders, and Disability / Christopher Eagle

Public ISBD Titre : Literature, Speech Disorders, and Disability : Talking Normal Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christopher Eagle, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Importance : 192 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-82304-3 Langues : Anglais Résumé : Examining representations of speech disorders in works of literature, this first collection of its kind founds a new multidisciplinary subfield related but not limited to the emerging fields of disability studies and medical humanities. The scope is wide-ranging both in terms of national literatures and historical periods considered, engaging with theoretical discussions in poststructuralism, disability studies, cultural studies, new historicism, gender studies, sociolinguistics, trauma studies, and medical humanities. The book's main focus is on the development of an awareness of speech pathology in the literary imaginary from the late-eighteenth century to the present, studying the novel, drama, epic poetry, lyric poetry, children's literature, autobiography and autopathography, and clinical case studies and guidebooks on speech therapy. The volume addresses a growing interest, both in popular culture and the humanities, regarding the portrayal of conditions such as stuttering, aphasia and mutism, along with the status of the Self in relation to those conditions. Since speech pathologies are neither illnesses nor outwardly physical disabilities, critical studies of their representation have tended to occupy a liminal position in relation to other discourses such as literary and cultural theory, and even disability studies. One of the primary aims of this collection is to address this marginalization, and to position a cultural criticism of speech pathology within literary studies.

Theoretical Perspectives on Human Rights and Literature / Elizabeth Swanson Goldberg

Public ISBD Titre : Theoretical Perspectives on Human Rights and Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elizabeth Swanson Goldberg, Auteur ; Alexandra Schultheis Moore, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature Importance : 302 p. Format : 24.6 x 17.4 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-70404-5 Langues : Anglais Résumé : What can literary theory reveal about discourses and practices of human rights, and how can human rights frameworks help to make sense of literature? How have human rights concerns shaped the literary marketplace, and how can literature impact human rights concerns? Essays in this volume theorize how both literature and reading literarily can shape understanding of human rights in productive ways. Contributors to Theoretical Perspectives on Human Rights and Literature provide a shared history of modern literature and rights; theorize how trauma, ethics, subjectivity, and witnessing shape representations of human rights violations and claims in literary texts across a range of genres (including poetry, the novel, graphic narrative, short story, testimonial, and religious fables); and consider a range of civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights and their representations. The authors reflect on the imperial and colonial histories of human rights as well as the cynical mobilization of human rights discourses in the name of war, violence, and repression; at the same time, they take seriously Gayatri Spivak's exhortation that human rights is something that we "cannot not want," exploring the central function of storytelling at the heart of all human rights claims, discourses, and policies.
