With Bodies

More about the book

Exploring the concept of reading as a bodily experience, the authors engage with various disciplines such as neuroscience and cognitive psychology to redefine how we understand literary narratives. By analyzing a diverse range of texts from antiquity to contemporary works, they develop a framework for embodied narratology that challenges traditional theories concerning authorship, narrative structure, and character development. This approach opens avenues for discussions on topics like literary history, AI, posthumanism, and gender studies, enriching the field of literary analysis.
