Description
Blending theory, or Conceptual Integration, is arguably one of the most promising recent cognitive theories. While the concept has been applied to the analysis of poetic discourse and micro-textual elements, it has hardly figured in the field of narratology so far. This volume aims to demonstrate how the study of narrative in prose fiction and film can profit from the application of Blending theory. It explores a variety of aspects situated at the intersection of narratology and the cognitive sciences.
