摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 本文试图结合文学中见解精辟的实例,来探究“感觉和运动”过程作为认知体验的必要组成部分的作用,聚焦于文学作品中的情感表现。本项研究的的起点是如下事实：文学中的情感表现——如同真实生活中的情感——主要由运动和其他身体或生理显示构成。本文所作的探索得助于当前认知和神经科学在情感和运动方面相辅相成的关系上所开展的研究。有例证表明,在大量的文学文本中,情感体验往往被描绘成认知体验,其中还带有十分投入的肢体动作。

关键词: 具身认知, 情感, 运动, 面部反馈, 身体隐喻

Abstract: This article attempts to relate to literature insights on the role of sensory and motor processes as essential constituents of cognition. It concentrates on the representation of emotion. The starting-point of the investigation is the fact that the representation of emotion in literature is-analogous to emotion in actual life-essentially constituted by motion and other physical or physiological manifestations. The investigation is supported by cognitive research and by neuroscientic research concerning the interdependence of emotion and motion. Evidence is adduced that emotional experiences are in a great quantity of literary texts represented as cognitive experiences with a strong participation of kinesthetic activities of the body.

Key words: embodied cognition, emotion, motion, facial feedback, body metaphors
