Emily Troscianko

Kafka's Cognitive Realism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume shows how Kafka evokes vision and emotion as fundamentally enactive, and how this makes his writing "cognitively realistic" in this respect. Cognitive realism is introduced as a framework for exploring how fictional characters' cognition correspond to or diverge from cognitive realities, and how this may affect real readers.
