Ion Manolescu, Ph.D.

Arbeitsvorhaben

Kognitionswissenschaft und Literatur: Was sieht der Verstand?

My interdisciplinary project is in the combined fields of literature, cognitive psychology and cognitive philosophy. It focuses on understanding how the human mind functions in terms of real-life and literary imagery processing. Is the mind the "software" of the brain? What does the mind "see", both in reality and within a literary text? How are real and literary images constructed? Whence do literary images emerge - from the mind of the author, from the "body" of the text, or from the mind of the reader? All these issues will be examined in an effort to understand the paradoxical functioning of the human mind in the process of imagery production, processing and maintenance.
