{"product_id":"introduction-to-cognitive-narratology","title":"Introduction to Cognitive Narratology","description":"Cognitive narratology is an innovative, rapidly developing discipline. Based on cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics, it tries to describe what happens when readers process (and assign meanings) to narrative texts. It looks at the knowledge structures and emotions that are triggered in this context and asks to what extent they are influenced by real-life experiences and diversifying cultural models. \u003cbr\u003e                \u003cbr\u003eOutlining the principles of the new approach, the present handbook by teachers and young researchers at the English Department of RWTH Aachen University and the Aachen Center for Cognitive and Empirical Literary Studies (ACCELS) revises and extends earlier structuralist models (which tried to identify structures shared by all narratives, thus remaining too static and general) and opens up new perspectives by employing more process-oriented and individuating methodologies. The benefits of cognitive narratology are elucidated in nine chapters, focussing on its general assumptions, concepts and innovating effects on various relevant fields of narratology (such as the analysis of characters, space, time, plot, narrative situations, unreliability and difficult narratives).\u003cbr\u003e                \u003cbr\u003eApart from providing a comprehensive bibliography and toolkits of questions for pursuing the new approach, the volume in each chapter also discusses the question of how its hypotheses can be tested in the context of empirical investigations. Since one needs to understand what actual (flesh-and-blood) readers do when they process narratives, the project of cognitive narratology will be most effective if it is combined with an empirical outlook.   \u003cbr\u003e                \u003cbr\u003e                \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                \u003cbr\u003eI.
