Narrative Poetics of Mindreading
Narrative Poetics of Mindreading

Summary/Abstract: In my article I discuss the relation between literary narrative, its poetics and some abilities of embodied human mind. I refer to literary studies and conscious- ness/mind studies. I am focused on cognitive theory of inter subjectivity and its role in creating and reading of literary narrative. Literary "mind reading" is not only the very act of reading about fictional minds, but it is the process of application of some innate cognitive mechanisms as well. I present some narrative models of taking someone else's perspectiveinscribed in different narrative forms and techniques.
