Herman et la narrativité

3768.gif

Alors que s’empoussière ma copie de Story Logic. Problems and Possibilities of Narrative, à défaut d’avoir le temps de m’y plonger entièrement, je découvre que David Herman en remet avec un collectif qui n’est pas sans rappeler la précédente entrée sur Narrative Intelligence. Il s’agit de Narrative Theory and the Cognitive Sciences. Description :

Research on human intelligence has postulated that studying the structure and use of stories can provide important insight into the roots of self and the nature of thinking. In that spirit, this volume focuses on narrative as a crossroads where cognitive and social psychology, linguistics, literary theory, and the recent hybrid called « cognitive narratology » intersect, suggesting new directions for the cognitive sciences. The ideas contained here demonstrate the importance of narrative as a cognitive style, a genre of discourse, and a resource for literary writing and other forms of communication.
