About the Book

Russian Literature and Cognitive Science applies the newest insights from cognitive psychology to the study of Russian literature. Chapters focus on writers and cultural figures from the Golden to the Internet Age including: Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Sologub, Bely, Akhmatova, Nabokov, Baranskaya, and contemporary online discourse. The authors draw on a wide array of cognitively-informed fields within psychology and related disciplines and approaches such as social psychology, visual processing, conceptual blending, cognitive narratology, the study of autism, cognitive approaches to creativity, the medical humanities, reader reception theory, cognitive anthropology, psychopathology, psychoanalysis, Theory of Mind, visual processing, embodied cognition, and predictive processing. This volume demonstrates how useful a tool cognitive science is for the analysis of literary texts.

Review :
In Russian Literature and Cognitive Science, Tom Dolack marshals old hands and new faces to show the many ways the new sciences of the mind can illuminate from unexpected angles the incomparable treasury of Russian literature from Pushkin to the present. “Science (including cognitive science) tends to isolate, quantify, narrow down a problem and then generalize on it; the literary humanities has conventionally pursued the very different goals of local context, personal depth, and idiosyncrasy. Each type of knowledge has its own precision, its own dynamic. In this rich and strenuously multidisciplinary collection of essays, Tom Dolack would bring the two together. From Pushkin through evolutionary biology to autism in Nabokov, mass shooters as Underground Men, and metaphor in the interactive speech genres of today’s online sites, the reader is urged to welcome as many different approaches to knowing as the brain can bear. Whether or not literary (or virtual) characters have minds—and the verdict on that is still out—the mix in this book of what can be cognitively measured and what cannot will challenge and delight even those who feel wholly at home in Russian literary worlds.” It seems only natural that the literary tradition of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Pushkin should invite interpretation using the most sophisticated current psychological research. But few of us who are not in Slavic studies are familiar with the breadth and variety of recent cognitive scientific work on Russian literature. With its diversity of approaches, and an accessible introduction mapping that diversity, this collection offers readers a way of entering into to the complex, cognitive world of this major literary tradition. This book is a groundbreaking exploration of Russian literature and culture through a cognitive lens, underscoring the vitality and relevance of cognitive literary studies in contemporary academic discourse. This seminal work encompasses a wide array of approaches—such as evolutionary literary studies, cognitive narratology, and cognitive poetics, among others—showcasing the field’s vast scope and interdisciplinary nature.
