{"product_id":"culture-and-cognition-ronald-schleifer-9781501746727","title":"Culture and Cognition: The Boundaries of Literary and Scientific Inquiry","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking book challenges the disciplinary boundaries that have traditionally separated scientific inquiry from literary inquiry. It explores scientific knowledge in three subject areas--the natural history of aging, literary narrative, and psychoanalysis. In the authors' view, the different perspectives on cognition afforded by Anglo-American cognitive science, Greimassian semiotics, and Lacanian psychoanalysis help us to redefine our very notion of culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I historically situates the concepts of meaning and truth in twentieth-century semiotic theory and cognitive science. Part II contrasts the modes of Freudian case history to the general instance of Einstein's relativity theory and then sets forth a rhetoric of narrative based on the discourse of the aged. Part III examines in the context of literary studies an interdisciplinary concept of cultural cognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulture and Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for literary theorists, historians and philosophers of science; semioticians; and scholars and students of cultural studies, the sociology of literature, and science and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Schleifer, Robert Con Davis, Nancy Mergler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501746723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501746727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Ronald Schleifer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124253651199,"sku":"9781501746727","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9d8bf96-1533-479e-ac4f-192a05f6a8ac.jpg?v=1687435660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-and-cognition-ronald-schleifer-9781501746727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
