Chevalier shows that while brain and sign processing caters to events that succeed in attracting our attention, it also provides means to produce silence where unawareness is called for. Some inattention to things that are no longer or not yet is a requirement of the plotting of signs of hope and apprehension folding and unfolding in narrative time. The end result is a complex calculus of recollection, anticipation, and hope combined with traces of deferment, forgetfulness, and fear. This intricate "time-machine" built into language and the brain governs the "working memory system, an active memory operating by necessity in the present tense. Chevalier explores these issues in light of what philosophers such as St. Augustine, Kant, Heidegger, and Lévi-Strauss have said about memory and the nature of time. Arguing against all static and apocalyptic conceptions of time, Chevalier applies his own blending of "neurosemiotics" and Ricoeurian hermeneutics to the interpretive analysis of narrative plots ranging from a cat drawn by a child to intriguing speculations on the hot and the cold in Mexican Nahua agriculture. The 3-D Mind 3 also looks at prophecies of demonic scorpions in the Book of Revelation, and signs of the End heralded by the tragedy of Ground Zero.3-D mind ;v. 3NeuropsychologySemioticsPsychological aspectsSemioticsPsycholinguisticsLanguage and languagesPhilosophyNeurophysiologyNeuropsychology.SemioticsPsychological aspects.Semiotics.Psycholinguistics.Language and languagesPhilosophy.Neurophysiology.302.0Chevalier Jacques M.1949-877586MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815767703321Scorpions and the Anatomy of Time4037500UNINA
