The Fictional Minds of Modernism: Narrative Cognition from Henry James to Christopher Isherwood

Editat de Prof Ricardo Miguel-Alfonso
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2021
Challenging the notion that modernism is marked by an "inward turn" - a configuration of the individual as distinct from the world - this collection delineates the relationship between the mind and material and social systems, rethinking our understanding of modernism's representation of cognitive and affective processes.Through analysis of a variety of international novels, short stories, and films - all published roughly between 1890 and 1945 - the contributors to this collection demonstrate that the so-called "inward turn" of modernist narratives in fact reflects the necessary interaction between mind, self, and world that constitutes knowledge, and therefore precludes any radical split between these categories. The essays examine the cognitive value of modernist narrative, showing how the perception of objects and of other people is a relational activity that requires an awareness of the constant flux of reality.The Fictional Minds of Modernismexplores how modernist narratives offer insights into the real, historical world not as a mere object of contemplation but as an object of knowledge, thus bridging the gap between classical narratology and modernist experimentation.

Recenzii

Miguel-Alfonso's collection succeeds in its challenge to remain equally sensitive to fictional minds as both epistemological and aesthetic resources. Taking the empiricist impulse in late 19th century psychology as a prompt to rethink - and redirect - the 'inward turn' of Modernism, the collection makes an authoritative contribution to the field of cognitive literary studies and cognitive historicism. At the same time, like any good Modernist, it commits to introspection, reflecting, with each bold step forward, on the place of contemporary cognitive science in 21st-century literary studies.
