Don’t Be Too Good at Reading Other People's Minds
Attribution of mental states is fundamental to our engagement with fiction. Crucially, its social content depends on mental states recursively “embedded” within each other; for instance, when a person doesn’t want other people to know about her intentions. Given that some characters seem to be consistently capable of embedding mental states on a higher level than others, this essay reviews factors that may influence authors’ constructions of such…
Manipulating Metacognition in Witness for the Prosecution
This essay exemplifies a cognitive approach to literary and film studies, with particular emphasis on fictional reimagining of legal institutions. It draws on research of cognitive scientists who study metacognition—specifically, the difference between reflective and intuitive beliefs—to suggest that courtroom dramas, such as Billy Wilder’s Witness for the Prosecution (1957), can manipulate their viewers into believing something that they, on som…
The Secret Life of Literature
An innovative account that brings together cognitive science, ethnography, and literary history to examine patterns of “mindreading” in a wide range of literary works. For over four thousand years, writers have been experimenting with what cognitive scientists call “mindreading”: constantly devising new social contexts for making their audiences imagine complex mental states of characters and narrators. In The Secret Life of Literature, Lisa Zuns…
Babylon Berlin
Working within cognitive television and media studies, this essay explores social cognition and emotion regulation involved in watching the popular German television series Babylon Berlin
How Memories Become Literature
Cognitive science can help literary scholars formulate specific questions to be answered by archival research. This essay takes as its starting point embedded mental states (that is, mental states about mental states) and their role in generating literary subjectivity. It then follows the transformation of embedded mental states throughout several manuscripts of Christa Wol1’s autobiographical novel, Patterns of Childhood (Kindheitsmuster, 1976),…
Life Writing and Cognition
Life Writing and Cognition Lisa Zunshine (bio) Consider failure. Evidence from neuroscience suggests that it may be a key element of our cognitive functioning. Failure allows the brain to update its mental models of the environment, a phenomenon known as predictive processing. In the words of Ellen Spolsky (in this special issue of SubStance): [Human understanding] doesn’t roll out in continuous space or time sequence, but rather in multi-level s…
Embodied Social Cognition and Comparative Literature
There is a growing sense among scholars working in cognitive literary studies that their assumptions and methodologies increasingly align them with another paradigmatically interdisciplinary field: comparative literature. This introduction to the special issue on cognitive approaches to comparative literature explores points of alignment between the two fields, outlining possible cognitivist interventions into debates that have been animating com…
Who Is He to Speak of My Sorrow
This article suggests that comparative literature scholars may benefit from the awareness that different communities around the world subscribe to different models of mind and that works of fiction can thus be fruitfully analyzed in relation to those local ideologies of mind. Taking as her starting point the "opacity of mind" doctrine, found in the South Pacific and Melanesia, the author compares cultural practices originating in communities in w…

The Commotion of Souls
The Commotion of Souls Lisa Zunshine (bio) First, a couple of emotional dilemmas: I love bringing my six-year-old to the Metropolitan Museum of Art when we are in New York in the summer. On Thursdays, they have a special hour for children. A curator first talks with them about an artwork and then encourages them to draw pictures inspired by it. My son seems to enjoy it. Yet every time I tell him that we are about to go to the MET, he says that he…

What to Expect When You Pick up a Graphic Novel
What to Expect When You Pick up a Graphic Novel Lisa Zunshine (bio) We live in other people's heads: avidly, reluctantly, consciously, unawares, gropingly, inescapably. A stranger sitting across the table at the library turns away from her laptop screen, extends her forearm, and begins to move her eyes from the tip of her index finger to her nose and back. It's a kind of eye calisthenics; she obviously wants to keep her nearsightedness under cont…
