Beall, Emily P. 2005. "'As reading as if': Harryette Mullen’s ‘cognitive similes’". Journal of Literary Semantics 34:2, 125-137.
Abstract: The poet Harryette Mullen takes the defamiliarization technique celebrated in cognitive poetics to an extreme – she manipulates not only the subject matter of her writing but the process the reader undertakes in attempting to read that defamiliarized language as well. I apply to Mullen’s poem “Wipe That Simile Off Your Aphasia” a number of ideas taken up by cognitive poetics (using Stockwell 2002 as my guide): reading versus interpretation, defamiliarization, prototypicality and actualization, sequential and summary scanning, and the mapping of conceptual metaphor. I then argue for several broader and unaccounted for challenges that Mullen’s work presents for cognitive poetic theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Imagery is manifestly a basic and omnipresent constituent of the mental life of human beings, a cognitive prerequisite of symbolisation and thought. The study of the poetic functions of imagery offers us a window into the cognitive semantics of the imaginative mind, but the literary contribution should not limit itself to illustrating the generalities of the mind; it should also address the issue of literature as such: what compelled humans to create art, poetry, and fiction, and in which sense can we be said to have a ‘literary mind’? (cf. Turner 1996) Imagery is a universally central dimension in poetic meaning production. Yet, cognitive poetics has made little effort so far to elucidate its semantic and semiotic mechanisms. Important as it is, imagery appears to constitute an issue exempt from deeper inquiry not only by the inherent difficulties and complexities of iconic structure but also by uncomfortable feelings about the entire field of mental representations in behaviorist psychology, analytic philosophy of mind, and anti-phenomenological thinking in general. In order to develop the study of poetic imagery in the framework of a cognitive semantics and semiotics, we suggest interrelating plain literary reading and cognitive research as directly as possible, and thus openly focusing on and exploring meaning production as it occurs in the poetic text, rather than using poetry only to illustrate certain notions in cognitive semantics. Here, we will limit ourselves to analysing two cases of reprocessed imagery, followed by some overall theoretical considerations on cognitive literary studies.

Note: This is an excellent summary of current work in blending theory as it has been applied to literary texts. Freeman reviews the work in the speciall L&L issue on blending, noting developments and points of disagreement, then sets it all in context of other recent work such as Hiraga 2005 and Brandt 2004. She then breifly examines a poem by Wei Ying-wu (in translation) to demonstrate how the blending network can be effective for analysis. [C. Rice]

Note: This book is largely a collection of articles Miall has published elsewhere but that are not readily available through his web site. The article updatings, along with the introduction and Chapter 6, the only wholly new chapter, provide an excellent summary of current research in empirical approaches to literature, especially research that focuses on the role of emotion in literary reading. As one would expect from Miall, the book is well organized and coherent, and his points are clearly and ably argued. Despite his desire to argue that empirical studies have "the potential to reorganize our understanding of literary studies root and branch" (21), he rarely overstates his case, and is admirably fair about the existing state of empirical research in literature. As a framework it has not achieved "paradigmatic status": it lacks a consensus on theoretical framework and on "what would count as exemplary experimental methods" (14). [C. Rice]

Stockwell, Peter. 2005. "Texture and Identification." EJES 9.2: 143-154.
Abstract: It is clear that there is an increasing divergence between the concerns and discourse of professional readers of literature and the experience engaged in by natural readers. In particular, natural readers foreground emotional and motivational aspects of literary works, areas which are neglected or poorly handled in the academy. This paper explores the emotionally affecting dimension of how readers identify with literary works. Drawing on cognitive poetic developments within stylistics including text-world theory, a method is proposed that equates empathetic identification with spatial conceptualisation and distance. A short analysis of a very popular poem illustrates how the method can gauge differences between artificial and natural reading.

Abstract: This article proposes a new interpretation of the relationship between poetic form and literary interpretation in Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, focusing on the special affordances of rhyme and meter in dramatic verse and on Rostand's virtuosic exploitation of poetic blending possibilities in Cyrano. I claim that poetic blends play a thematically essential role in this work, at a level far beyond their thematic contribution to most verse drama. Such a reading of Cyrano may thus help to expose general asp[ects of poetic blending which may be less visably present in other texts. It also has consequences for our understanding of verbal humor and irony. In the final section of the article, I propose an extension of my analysis of metric and rhyming blends to the beginnings of a cognitive poetic treatment of intertextuality as blending.

Abstract: Mental spaces are often connected by vital conceptual relations. When mental spaces serve as inputs to a blended mental space, the vital conceptual relations between them can be 'compressed' to blended structure inside the blended mental space. In other words, 'outer-space' relations become 'inner-space' relations. This article discusses compression of the outer-space relation of representation under mental blending.
