Description de l'ouvrage:
Alistair Fox presents a theory of literary and cinematic representation through the lens of neurological and cognitive science in order to understand the origins of storytelling and our desire for fictional worlds. Fox contends that fiction is deeply shaped by emotions and the human capacity for metaphorical thought. Literary and moving images bridge emotional response with the cognitive side of the brain. In a radical move to link the neurosciences with psychoanalysis, Fox foregrounds the interpretive experience as a way to reach personal emotional equilibrium by working through autobiographical issues within a fictive form.

À propos de l'auteur :
Alistair Fox is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Otago, New Zealand. He is author of Jane Campion: Authorship and Personal Cinema (IUP, 2011), translator of Anne Gillain's François Truffaut: The Lost Secret (IUP, 2013), and editor (with Raphaëlle Moine, Hilary Radner, and Michel Marie) of A Companion to Contemporary French Cinema.

Revue de Presse:
"Very rich argumentation that progressively constructs its object, shifting with much skill from the conceptual elaboration of its global perspective to the various concrete examples of works approached so to give it flesh and blood."
-Raymond Bellour, film critic, theorist, and author of The Analysis of Film
