Amid continued concern about the impact of digital media on the minds of readers and players today, and the alarming philosophical questions generated by the communion of minds and machines, Ciccoricco provides detailed examples illustrating how stories in virtually any medium can still nourish creative imagination and cultivate critical--and ethical--reflection. Contributing new insights on attention, perception, memory, and emotion, \u003ci\u003eRefiguring Minds in Narrative Media\u003c\/i\u003e is a book at the forefront of a new wave of media-conscious cognitive literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Ciccoricco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803248377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803248373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"David Ciccoricco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013789593855,"sku":"9780803248373","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a81a9adc-345b-420a-9d37-0f3cf3729550.jpg?v=1767744780","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refiguring-minds-in-narrative-media-david-ciccoricco-9780803248373","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
