ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
CALL FOR PAPERS
COGNITIVE APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
Papers are invited from members of Faculty, Research
Scholars and Post Graduate students of English for
deliberations at the seminar.
Humanistic reading of literature was torn to shreds in the
later half of the 20th century so much so that defending it
has become a matter of acute intellectual
embarrassment. But such reading has stayed alive and its
importance is demonstrated by studies in the field of
"Cognitive Sciences".This conference is organized to
give the participants orientation in current studies in this
field which connect Literature, Cognition and
Neurosciences. A common belief is that, as we believe,
the study of the mind is one of the best avenues to the
study of literature, and so we hold that the study of
literature is one of the best ways to study the mind. We
can achieve new insights into both individual texts and
the cultural milieus by recognizing texts as historicallyspecific records of human minds in action. Knowledge
developed by cognitive science about subjects such as
perception, metaphor, concept formation, and
categorization can be recruited to support recognizably
literary and historical kinds of scholarship and criticism.
This conference attempts to open avenues for the study
of human mental capacities at work in literary texts, and
view this as one of the most direct and illuminating
methodologies available to cognitive science.
