Abstract

Wie verstehen wir literarische Figuren und deren fiktionales Bewusstsein beim Lesen? Welche Rolle spielen figurale Konstellationen und wie funktioniert Multiperspektivität? Unter Rückgriff auf moderne Kognitionsforschung wendet sich diese Arbeit dem Zusammenspiel von Figurenperspektiven zu und zeigt, dass diesem eine entscheidende Rolle beim Verständnis literarischer Texte und deren Interpretation zukommt. Auf methodisch reflektierte Weise werden dabei etablierte erzähltheoretische Ansätze zu fiktionalen Akteuren und Perspektivenstrukturen mithilfe von Blending Theory neu gedacht und am Beispiel des englischen Romans zu einer allgemeinen Theorie perspektivischer Interaktion weiterentwickelt. Dabei geht es neben der theoretischen Erfassung dieses Zusammenspiels auch um die Möglichkeit der praktischen Anwendung auf konkrete literarische Texte. So demonstriert die Arbeit anhand detaillierter exemplarischer Analysen ferner das Applikationspotential und die analytische Leistungsfähigkeit des Modells und stellt damit eine umfassende Annäherung an das Phänomen interagierender Perspektiven aus dem Blickwinkel einer kognitiven Narratologie dar.

Abstract

The theory of Blending, or Conceptual Integration, proposed by Gilles Fauconnier and Marc Turner, is one of most promising cognitive theories of meaning production. It has been successfully applied to the analysis of poetic discourse and micro-textual elements, such as metaphor. Prose narrative has so far received significantly less attention. The present volume aims to remedy this situation. Following an introductory discussion of the connections between narrative and the processes of blending, the contributions demonstrate the range of applications of the theory to the study of narrative. They cover issues such as time and space, literary character and perspective, genre, story levels, and fictional minds; some chapters show how such phenomena as metalepsis, counterfactual narration, intermediality, extended metaphors, and suspense can be fruitfully studied from the vantage point of Conceptual Integration. Working within a theoretical framework situated at the intersection of narratology and the cognitive sciences, the book provides both fresh readings for individual literary and film narratives and new impulses for post-classical narratology.

Abstract

Comparisons not only prove fundamental in the epistemological foundation of modernity (Foucault, Luhmann), but they fulfil a central function in social life and the production of art. Taking a cue from the Practice Turn in sociology, the contributors are investigating the role of comparative practices in the formation of eighteenth-century literature and culture. The book conceives of social practices of comparing as being entrenched in networks of circulation of bodies, artefacts, discourses and ideas, and aims to investigate how such practices ordered and changed British literature and culture during the long eighteenth century.
