Cognitive Approaches to Literature and Culture, edited by Frederick Luis Aldama, Arturo J. Aldama, and Patrick Colm Hogan, will include monographs and edited volumes that incorporate cutting edge research in cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, narrative theory, and related fields, insofar as this research bears on and illuminates cultural phenomena such as literature, film, drama, music, dance, visual art, digital media, and comics, among others.
The volumes published in this series represent both specialized scholarship and interdisciplinary investigation. The analyses they put forth are deeply sensitive to cultural particularities and historically shifting relations of power and resistance. But they are also grounded in an understanding of cross culturally shared emotive and cognitive principles.
