Yanna B Popova

Stories, Meaning, and Experience

Narrativity and Enaction

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a complete reconsideration of the nature of narrative organization developed in the framework of a new and comprehensive approach to cognitive science: enaction. The model is here elaborated in relation to stories by Henry James and Gabriel García Márquez. Popova's interpretation of narrative thus cuts across many of the core issues in fields such as narratology, cognitive psychology, and traditional story grammars.
