CFP: The Role of Cognitive Science in Literary Studies
(9/15; 3/30/2001-3/31/2001)
Northeast Modern Language Association
Hartford, Connecticut
March 30-31, 2001
Papers are sought that address, descriptively or prescriptively, the role of
cognitive science in literary studies, teaching and/or research. While some
literary scholars, like Mark Turner, have argued that cognitive science is
not a "new theory for literature," but an approach dealing with more
fundamental matters of thought and language, others, like Joseph Carroll,
have turned to similar approaches as a new weapon against post-structuralist
approaches to literature. The goal of this session will be to provide
possible answers to the question: how can (or should) cognitive science be
used in a literary studies context?
Appropriate to this session, then, would be papers that theorize the role of
cognitive science in conjunction with other approaches to literary study, as
well as papers that are themselves a demonstration of how cognitive science
approaches to literature fit within a larger theoretical framework.
250-500 word abstracts by September 15th. Electronic submissions strongly
encouraged.
