| Sommario/riassunto: | For the neuroscientific community, the study suggests that different areas of research--the neurobiology of vision and reading, the brain-body interactions underlying emotions--may be connected to a variety of aesthetic and literary phenomena. For critics and students of literature, the study engages fundamental questions within the humanities: What is aesthetic experience? What happens when we read a literary work? How does the interpretation of literature relate to other ways of knowing?. |
