Release Date: 2023-12-20
This research collection showcases how kinesic intelligence is fundamental to human communication and our ability to produce complex meaning, exploring its manifestations across a range of humanities disciplines, and connecting our past with our social and cultural future. The book defines kinesic intelligence as a higher-order intellectual competence that allows human beings to interact and grow cognitively and intersubjectively through sensorimotricity and interpersonal movement. Understood in this way, kinesic intelligence can offer insights into the development of humans’ meaning-making abilities and, in turn, society and culture more broadly. Recognizing the power of the humanities in furthering sociocultural development, the collection features perspectives from scholars across a range of topics, including the multimodality of language acquisition in children; young adults in clinical psychology and medical humanities; nonverbal communication in history; legal language and reasoning; literature and cognitive studies; the internet and multispecies anthropology; and sensoriality in history and art. Foregrounding the impact of the humanities in promoting new understandings of human intelligence, this volume will be of interest to scholars in cognitive legal and literary studies, multimodality, anthropology, history, medical humanities, and those with an interest in the real-world impact of the humanities.

Character Constellations in Cognitive and Empirical Literary Studies
This book develops a new approach to readerly engagement with constellations of characters in the novel. It argues that we have not understood well enough how readers respond to the simple fact that the majority of prose narratives feature many characters who are involved in complex relationships. The author integrates concepts, insights, and results from the multi-disciplinary field of cognitive and empirical literary studies and reintroduces input from classical literary scholarship. The chapters of this book develop the notion of Multiple Character Scenarios as a new conceptualisation of readers’ mental engagement with constellations of many characters in extended narratives, and they introduce further innovative concepts: a model of the interaction of different dimensions of cognition in literary reading, a differentiated approach to perspectivisation, and a fresh look at genre-related reading expectations. The book concludes with methodological considerations for the empirical study of engagement with character constellations. Beside discussing theoretical and empirical work from cognitive and empirical literary studies, the argument is illustrated by references to a broad range of examples from the history of the (British) novel. The book will therefore be of interest to literary scholars, narratologists, and everyone interested in narrative engagement from the multidisciplinary field of cognitive and empirical literary studies.
