Abstract
»Imagining Minds: Cognitive Approaches to Narrative, Embodied Simulation, Metaphor and Complex Tropes.« Vienna, May 21 to 24, 2008.
Michael Kimmel and Thomas Eder brought together established experts and younger researchers at the University of Vienna in May 2008 to reflect on and contribute to the »cognitive turn«, a major development in recent cultural theory and criticism. This turn, as the conference program said, grounds literary reception in general human psychology and everyday knowledge without losing sight of the specificity of literary aesthetics. It addresses central topics of literary structure and response in new ways. I will briefly contextualize the conference’s themes, review the papers and comment on them, then discuss them in light of some recent debates in the Journal of Literary Theory.
