in 2013 OxfOrd University Press and the Myrifield Institute for Cognition and the Arts at the University of Osnabrück in Germany announced the book series Cognition and Poetics, a joint project with the stated goal to publish “high quality interdisciplinary research at the intersection of the cognitive sciences and the arts.” The present volume appears to be the first in the series, with three more slated for publication in 2017 alone. This is indeed a rapidly expanding field. Cognitive Approaches to Early Modern Spanish Literature is the second anthology that Isabel Jaén and Julien Jacques Simon edit in the field of cognitive literary studies. Their prior one, titled Cognitive Literary Studies: Current Themes and New Directions, was published in 2012 by the University of Texas Press. The cognitive approach to literary studies seeks insights gained by the neurosciences on the functioning of the brain and mind to the interpretation of literary texts. The present collection is, according to the book jacket, “the first anthology to explore human cognition and literature in the context of early modern Spanish culture. It features the leading voices in the field, discussing the main themes that this important area of study has been producing.” The anthology consists of an introduction by the editors, eleven scholarly articles, and a pedagogical afterword. The articles are distributed in five sections with discrete titles. The first section, titled “An Overview of Cognitive Approaches to Early Modern Spanish Literature,” includes a single article in which Julien Jacques Simon offers an overview of some of the main research topics in the field of cognitive literary studies as explored in the various articles included in this collection, together with the definitions of key concepts, such as embodiment, Theory of Mind (ToM), and empathy. Section 2, “The Creation of Self,” includes three essays devoted to Cervantes’s Don Quixote. The first two, by Howard Mancing and Catherine Connor-Swietlicki, focus on the notions of embodied cognition and Isabel Jaén and Julien Jacques Simon, editors. Cognitive Approaches to Early Modern Spanish Literature.

早期现代西班牙文学的认知方法编辑。作者：伊莎贝尔·哈恩和朱利安·雅克·西蒙

2013 年，牛津大学出版社和德国奥斯纳布吕克大学 Myrifield 认知与艺术研究所共同发布了《认知与诗学》系列丛书，这是一个联合项目，其既定目标是出版“认知科学交叉领域的高质量跨学科研究”和艺术。” 本卷似乎是该系列的第一卷，仅 2017 年就有另外三卷计划出版。这确实是一个快速扩展的领域。早期现代西班牙文学的认知方法是伊莎贝尔·哈恩和朱利安·雅克·西蒙在认知文学研究领域编辑的第二本选集。他们之前的一篇名为认知文学研究：当前主题和新方向，于 2012 年由德克萨斯大学出版社出版。文学研究的认知方法寻求神经科学获得的关于大脑和心灵功能对文学文本解释的见解。根据书封的说法，本系列是“第一本在早期现代西班牙文化背景下探索人类认知和文学的选集。它以该领域的主要声音为特色，讨论了这一重要研究领域产生的主要主题。” 选集由编辑的介绍、11 篇学术文章和教学后记组成。这些文章分为五个部分，标题各不相同。第一部分，标题为“早期现代西班牙文学的认知方法概述，”包括一篇文章，其中 Julien Jacques Simon 概述了认知文学研究领域的一些主要研究课题，如本合集中的多篇文章所探讨的，以及关键概念的定义，例如具体化、心理理论（ToM）和同理心。第 2 节“自我的创造”包括三篇关于塞万提斯的唐吉诃德的文章。前两篇由 Howard Mancing 和 Catherine Connor-Swietlicki 撰写，重点关注具身认知的概念以及编辑 Isabel Jaén 和 Julien Jacques Simon。早期现代西班牙文学的认知方法。“自我的创造”包括三篇关于塞万提斯的唐吉诃德的文章。前两篇由 Howard Mancing 和 Catherine Connor-Swietlicki 撰写，重点关注具身认知的概念以及编辑 Isabel Jaén 和 Julien Jacques Simon。早期现代西班牙文学的认知方法。“自我的创造”包括三篇关于塞万提斯的唐吉诃德的文章。前两篇由 Howard Mancing 和 Catherine Connor-Swietlicki 撰写，重点关注具身认知的概念以及编辑 Isabel Jaén 和 Julien Jacques Simon。早期现代西班牙文学的认知方法。
