Abstract

Featuring a foreword by renowned neuroscientist Joseph E. LeDoux, The Elusive Brain is an illuminating, comprehensive survey of contemporary literature's engagement with neuroscience. This fascinating book explores how literature interacts with neuroscience to provide a better understanding of the brain's relationship to the self. Jason Tougaw surveys the work of contemporary writers-including Oliver Sacks, Temple Grandin, Richard Powers, Siri Hustvedt, and Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay-analyzing the way they experiment with literary forms to frame new views of the immaterial experiences that compose a self. He argues that their work offers a necessary counterbalance to a wider cultural neuromania that seeks out purely neural explanations for human behaviors as varied as reading, economics, empathy, and racism. Building on recent scholarship, Tougaw's evenhanded account will be an original contribution to the growing field of neuroscience and literature.

Abstract

Wat is de rol van gevoel in de argumentatie in het Nederlands recht, in ISIS-filmpjes en in de zelfverdediging van dopingzondaar Lance Armstrong? En hoe werkt de betoverende zang van castraten, de emotie van Mahler, Lou Reed en Prince?Beïnvloeden met emoties is een inspiratiebron voor mensen die beter willen begrijpen hoe mensen elkaar ontroeren of overtuigen, en welke rol emoties daarin spelen. Het boek geeft in meer dan dertig essays voorbeelden van het effect van emoties in toespraken, pamfletten, foto's, film, beeldende kunst en muziek. Inzicht in de werking van pathos kan ertoe leiden dat we de gevoelens die we ervaren meer waarderen.Dit boek gaat over subtiele beïnvloeding via onbewust werkende muzikale taaltechnieken. Het handelt over de aantrekkelijkheid van anekdotes en concrete beelden. En over de impact van ambachtelijke retorische technieken als drieslagen, contrasten en herhalingen in klassieke retorica en moderne media.Het beschrijft de woede van Achilles en de pathospraktijken van Cicero en Quintilianus. Ook het catastrofale pathos in de toespraken van Goebbels wordt uitgediept, net als de opleving van de retorische studie naar aanleiding van Obama's optredens. Een verklaring wordt gegeven van het wonderlijke gebrek aan pathos in de Nederlandse politiek en de opvallende verandering die Wilders en Timmermans daarin aanbrengen. .
