The Fascination of Imitation: What Social Neuroscience Reveals about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Since the 1990s, social neuroscience has established imitation as an unconscious, constitutive element of human identity; to the point that one may reasonably say that human identity is imitative identity. This research has profound implications for the human fascination with imitation in general, as well as with specific kinds of imitation. For the imitative identity, imitation human beings are uniquely, but strangely fascinating. This may readi…
Imitative Identity, Imitative Art, and AI: Artificial Intelligence
Recent cognitive scientific and social neuroscientific research into human imitation provides a foundation upon which to base an understanding of the appeal of realistic imitation in general, and realistic visual imitation in particular. This essay uses these ideas in an analysis of Steven Spielberg's 2001 film AI: Artificial Intelligence

"Literary Interpretation" and Cognitive Literary Studies
In the discussions of cognitive literary studies in this and earlier volumes of Poetics Today, there regularly seems to be at least a fairly broad consen-sus as to the significant differences between the typical literary-humanistic and the typical scientific approaches to making claims about a given object of study. Even if the object of study is the same—in this case, literature—a humanistic approach nonetheless seems to establish the validity o…

Questioning Interdisciplinarity: Cognitive Science, Evolutionary Psychology, and Literary Criticism
Cognitive science and evolutionary psychology show great potential as explanatory paradigms for a wide array of cultural products and activities,including literature. In some scholars' minds these two fields are emerging as the cornerstones of a major "new interdisciplinarity" that may well displace the relativistic interpretive paradigms that have dominated the humanities for the last few decades. Through a review of a number of recently publish…
Nihilism, Relativism, and Literary Theory
NOW THAT THE TURBULENT EMERGENCE of the various poststructuralist kinds of has subsided into the past, we can assess these theories with some historical perspective. Few would be likely to dispute that theory has a been a major in the history of criticism, but as with all such events, significance changes as meanings are rewritten over time. We can begin to ask now, just how important, and indeed what kind of an intellectual event has been? Of co…
