Conversations on Cognitive Cultural Studies CONVERSATIONS ON COGNITIVE CULTURAL STUDIES “In Conversations on Cognitive Cultural Studies: Literature, Language, and Aesthetics, Frederick Luis Aldama and Patrick Colm Hogan illu- minate the myriad implications of cognitive studies for the study of literature. Scrutinizing issues ranging from subjectivity to aesthetics to history and politics, they seek ever greater precision in our methods and assumptions. This lively critical dialogue is sure to spark much- needed thought and discussion.” —Sue J. Kim, author of On Anger: Race, Cognition, Narrative “Conversations on Cognitive Cultural Studies gives a strong sense of cognitive studies in their present state of organization, as represented by two of its most respected and best informed spokesmen, who are seen grappling with basic and, in some cases, still unresolved prob- lems in aesthetics.” — Irving Massey, professor emeritus of English and comparative literature, University at Buffalo CONVERSATIONS ON COGNITIVE CULTURAL STUDIES LITERATURE, LANGUAGE, AND AESTHETICS Frederick Luis Aldama AND Patrick Colm Hogan THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS • COLUMBUS Copyright © 2014 by The Ohio State University.

Our editor at The Ohio State University Press, Sandy Crooms, was invaluable in the process of planning, evaluating, and produc- ing this book. vi PROLOGUE The following dialogues, which took place at various times between 2010 and 2012, focus on the place of cognitive science in the study of culture, particu- larly literature. For readers unfamiliar with the field, cognitive science is a recently developed approach to the study of the human mind. It integrates a range of disciplines including anthropology, cognitive psychology, computer science, evolutionary biology, linguistics, and others, with empirical studies of human and nonhuman mental processing. Beyond biological and social sci- ences, the contributing disciplines include art history, musicology, and, most important for our purposes, literary criticism and theory. In each case, the traditional discipline (e.g., literary study) is enhanced by the contributions of general cognitive scientific theory and research while at the same time the general theory is itself advanced and refined by research in the disciplines, again including literary study. Cutting across the traditional academic disci- plines, cognitive science also comprises a number of subfields, including cog- nitive neuroscience, which focuses on brain research; social cognition, which treats the interaction of human minds in, for example, shared tasks; and affec- tive science, which examines human emotions or motivation systems. These subfields in turn combine with one another and with traditional disciplines to produce further areas of research, such as social neuroscience (the study of the operation of the brain in social interaction), neurolinguistics (the study of the neurological processes of language and speech), and so on. vii viii • Prologue Thus cognitive science is, in part, a research program shared across a range of disciplines and subfields. But that alone would not give the field much coherence. It is, in addition, defined by a set of theoretical principles about “cognitive architecture.” Cognitive architecture comprises structures (the enduring organizational categories of the mind), processes (the operations that occur within the structures), and contents (the objects on which pro- cesses operate). For example, most cognitive scientists would agree that there are different types of memory, thus different memory structures. These include episodic memory (concerning events that one experienced), skills memory (concerning how to do things, such as ride a bicycle), semantic memory (con- cerning meanings and facts), working memory (what we keep in mind at any one time), and so on. These involve processes, such as memory storage and retrieval, as well as contents (the memories themselves). The example of memory may seem to suggest that cognitive architecture is isolated and, so to speak, inward-oriented. However, cognitive architecture is at the basis of social interaction as well. For example, one important component of social cognition is “Theory of Mind” (ToM). ToM is simply the means by which we come to understand what other people are thinking or feeling. The cases of memory and ToM are instances of what is sometimes called “phenomenological” or “mentalistic” architecture. This sort of architecture is to some extent intuitively comprehensible, since it is based on our ordinary understanding of various mental structures and processes. We all know intui- tively what “memory” is, even if we do not spontaneously organize it in the way that is done by cognitive scientists—and certainly not with the precision and empirical guidance of cognitive scientists. There is also a “neurocogni- tive” architecture correlated with this mentalistic architecture. The neuro- cognitive architecture comprises the structures and processes of the human brain—for instance, the regions of functional neuroanatomy. Thus, in speak- ing of neurocognitive architecture, we might refer to the hippocampus. It is a crucial part of current cognitive science that the phenomenological architec- tures are continually revised by reference to the neurocognitive architectures while the neurocognitive architectures are understood by reference to the phenomenological architectures—as when we speak of the operation of the hippocampus in episodic memory. Beyond these two basic architectures, we may also distinguish different sorts of cognitive theory. The basic architectures are fairly general. The theo- ries tend to be more particular and are often developed in relation to specific cognitive domains (e.g., language). For example, different linguistic theories accept that there is something along the lines of semantic memory, but they specify and explain this in sometimes very different ways. These differences Prologue • ix are often related to the theories’ precise relation to basic architectures. Thus in linguistics we may distinguish theories that stress mentalistic architecture from theories that stress neurocognitive architecture. The former find one influential form in Noam Chomsky’s work, which is based on sets of rules with variables. The neurocognitive approach appears in a rather abstract form in Connectionism, which posits only networks of interlinked neuron- like units with distinct activation patterns. Cutting across this division is a distinction between theories that rely solely on general architecture and those that draw on a specialized architecture for the domain at issue. For exam- ple, both “Generative” linguists, such as Chomsky, and “Cognitive” linguists, such as George Lakoff and Ronald Langacker, stress a mentalistic architecture (though they draw on neurocognitive research in formulating and developing that architecture). However, Generative linguists tend to maintain that the general architecture must be supplemented by principles specific to language, whereas Cognitive linguists try to explain language processes by principles available in the general architecture.1 The example of language is particularly apt here for the obvious reason that language is fundamental to literature. Thus understanding language is presumably fundamental to our understanding of literature. A simple, com- municative model of literature involves at least four components: 1) a speaker or author, 2) a listener or reader, 3) an utterance or text, and 4) a social and historical context. We have used this basic structure to organize the topics for our dialogues. The first chapter addresses the fundamental element of any communicative act, the component most obviously related to cognitive neuro- science—the person, the self, either as speaker or as hearer. The final chapter turns to the social and historical context. This may

    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

Honey1 1Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA 2Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Toronto ON, Canada 3Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Hospital, Toronto ON, Canada How do we mentally organize our memories of life events? Two episodes may be connected because they share a similar location, time period, activity, spatial environment, or social and emotional content. However, we lack an understanding of how each of these dimensions contributes to the perceived similarity of two life memories. We addressed this question with a data-driven approach, eliciting pairs of real-life memories from participants. Participants annotated the social, purposive, spatial, temporal, and emotional characteristics of their memories. We found that the overall sim- ilarity of memories was influenced by all of these factors, but to very different extents. Emotional features were the most consistent single predictor of overall memory similarity. Memories with dif- ferent emotional tone were reliably perceived to be dissimilar, even when they occurred at similar times and places and involved similar people; conversely, memories with a shared emotional tone were perceived as similar even when they occurred at different times and places, and involved dif- ferent people.

  • The Curious Complexity Between Confidence and Accuracy In
    4 The Curious Complexity between Confi dence and Accuracy in Reports from Memory HENRY L. ROEDIGER III, JOHN H. WIXTED, AND K. ANDREW DESOTO Th e relation between the probability of remembering an event and one’s confi dence in it seems obvious: Th e more confi dent a person is in remember- ing an event, the more accurate he or she will be (and vice versa). Imagine giv- ing people a series of events to remember every day for a week, say 10 per day. Th e events could be sentences such as “Th e hippie touched the debutante in the park” or “Th e policeman arrested the homeless woman near the movie theater.” Th en, on the seventh day, people could be asked to recall (or recognize) all the sentences that had been presented that seventh day, and those from the third day of the experiment, and to rate the confi dence of each reported memory. It would surprise no one to learn that people would correctly remember more sentences from the seventh day than from the third day; surely they would be more accurate for the recent memories. In addition, there is no doubt that their confi dence would track their accuracy if confi dence were measured on, say, a 7-point rating scale (from 7 = sure the event happened to 1 = sure the event did not happen). People would be much more confi dent for the recently presented sentences than for those heard 4 days previously. Th e reason people can intuit the result of this experiment so accurately is that we essentially live this exper- iment every day of our lives.

ISSN: 1886-5542 TRANSFERRING U.S. LATINO POETS INTO THE SPANISH- SPEAKING WORLD1 Lisa Rose Bradford, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata Translation is slippery art that compounds the problems of the inherent instability of language with the unruly process of duplicating it in another system. The sliding that occurs in the translation of multicultural poetry is even more pronounced since the distance from “the norm” becomes greater and greater. This is true firstly because poetry is a genre that strives for verbal concision and innovation in a playful defiance of norms that pique the reader’s imagination; and secondly because the multilingual poet often involves a second language —either in its original form or as a translation into the language of composition—to enhance sound and cultural imagery. Latino poetry generally glides along on the linguistic and cultural tension inherent in both its poeticity and its English/Spanish and Latino/Anglo dualities that challenge normative discourse. Therefore, the translation of this verse must also produce for the reader a similarly slippery tension, a task that Fabián Iriarte and I constantly grappled with in the editing of a recent bilingual anthology, Usos de la imaginación: poesía de l@s latin@s en EE.UU. This book began as an experiment in heterolingual translation in general, and after selecting eleven Latino poets for an anthology —Rafael Campo, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Silvia Curbelo, Martín Espada, Diana García, Richard García, Maurice Kilwein Guevara, Juan Felipe Herrera, Pat Mora, Gary Soto and Gloria Vando—we spent two years researching and rehearsing versions in readings and seminars offered in the universities of Mar del Plata and Córdoba in order to test the success of our translation strategies.2 There were many aspects to be considered before deciding on the best approach to translating this verse.
