Poetics-Cognitive Science Colloquy
Dactyl Foundation for the Arts & Humanities
SoHo, New York City, NY
www.dactyl.org
September 16-18, 2005
Among the disciplines informing cognitive poetics, neuroscience has
been undersung and underutilized, a trend that seems to suggest
imminent remedy.=A0=A0Indeed, the recent experimental and theoretical
advances offered by neuroscience question the traditional judgment that=
literary knowledge is incompatible with scientific knowledge. What
insights might detailed attention to the neuronal activity of the brain=
lend to the creative process?=A0Might this directionality be reversed,=
that is, might the complex structures interrogated by poetics yield a
formal understanding that could, in turn, shed light on neuroscientific=
problems? =A0=A0
Related questions which might be addressed include:=A0What role do the=
complexity sciences play in understanding the emergence of
consciousness and, by extension, emergent meaning in creative
works?=A0What, if anything, is to be gained through empirical
approaches=
to literary texts? How might such approaches be implemented? Many
readers praise texts for speaking to a reader's "spiritual" side. Can a=
study in cognitive poetics help clarify and redefine what is meant by
this term? or by other phenomena often deemed inaccessible to science,=
such as a poem's "irrational"=A0or "artistic" qualities? Can
post-structuralist theory be helpfully rearticulated in neuroscientific=
terms? Is the oft-observed variable nature of literary meaning
analogous to brain processes exhibiting similar transitory behaviors?
Can the same be said of more stable qualities and behaviors?
This conference is intended to be a small, select gathering of scholars=
interested in probing these questions, collaborating on research, and
reporting relevant findings in their respective fields. Participants
will include: literary theorists, neuroscientists, writers, artists,
cognitive scientists of various disciplines, e.g., linguistics,
physical psychology, social psychology, and the philosophy of mind.
Hosted by Dactyl Foundation for the Arts & Humanities, the Center for
Inquiry, and the Flow Chart Foundation.
Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to both Victoria N.
Alexander alexander@dactyl.org and Sharon Lattig lattig@dactyl.org by
December 1, 2004.
