Beschreibung
This collection adopts a cognitive approach to the study of drama. Analyses range from the medieval stage to 21st century Anglophone drama and provide a cognitive reading of characterisation, interiority, performativity, decoding strategies, empathy, immersion, reader manipulation and audience control.
This volume seeks to put drama and its neglected mental dimension into the limelight. While narrative fiction with its intricate ways of rendering consciousness has been deemed an ideal playground for approaches of a cognitivist leaning, the dramatic genre has been all but ignored by cognitive literary studies. Providing insights into such drama-related issues as subject construction, interiority, performativity, empathy, reader manipulation and reception control, the contributions to this collection testify to the richness and variety of the cognitivist enterprise.
