Sommario/riassunto

What mediates between sensory input and motor output? What makes it possible to act on what you perceive? Bence Nanay argues that pragmatic representations provide the perceptual guidance for performing actions. They play a key role in our mental lives and help explain why the majority of our mental processes are very similar to those of animals.

Sommario/riassunto

Dieser Band zeigt auf, wie im 18. Jahrhundert Autoren aus Italien, Frankreich, England, Spanien und dem deutschsprachigen Raum Bilder vom Nahen, Mittleren und Fernen Osten dazu nutzten, Europa in seinen kulturellen Eigenheiten zu konturieren. Orient und Okzident erscheinen aktuell immer wieder als Gegensätze, die sich gegenseitig in ihrer Existenz bedrohen. Dabei stellt das ‚Andere‘ zugleich eine wesentliche Notwendigkeit für die Selbstdefinition dar. Dieses Buch zeigt anhand der vergleichenden Untersuchung von zahlreichen Werken in



italienischer, französischer, englischer, spanischer und deutscher Sprache, wie eine Textsorte in besonderer Weise zur Konstruktion kultureller Identitäten beigetragen hat: Briefromane, in denen ein fiktiver Reisender aus dem Nahen, Mittleren oder Fernen Osten westeuropäische Gesellschaften an seine Landsleute beschreibt.
