{"product_id":"water-and-cognition-in-early-nicholas-helms-9789463724791","title":"Water and Cognition in Early Modern English Literature","description":"Water and cognition seem unrelated things, the one a physical environment and the other an intellectual process. The essays in this book show how bringing these two modes together revitalizes our understanding of both. Water and especially oceanic spaces have been central to recent trends in the environmental humanities and premodern ecocriticism. Cognition, including ideas about the \"extended mind\" and distributed cognition, has also been important in early modern literary and cultural studies over the past few decades. This book aims to think \"water\" and \"cognition\" as distinct critical modes and also to combine them in what we term \"watery thinking.\" \u003ccite\u003eWater and Cognition\u003c\/cite\u003e brings together cognitive science and ecocriticism to ask how the environment influences how humans think, and how they think about thinking. The collection explores how water -- as element, as environment, and as part of our bodies -- affects the way early modern and contemporary discourses understand cognition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Helms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463724796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463724791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nicholas Helms","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795475124479,"sku":"9789463724791","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53bbf72c-a437-4d04-9d4c-dd2f7ac9de9f.jpg?v=1744947719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/water-and-cognition-in-early-nicholas-helms-9789463724791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
