Hardback. Condition: New. The volume is based on the assumption that, as demonstrated by the British psychologist Keith Oatley and the Portuguese neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, emotions are involuntary responses to sensory triggers and give rise to real action programs. Generated by the limbic brain and capable of releasing chemical molecules such as dopamine or cortisol, the triggering of emotional responses is involuntarily and relies on images for activation since they have the power to capture emotions, as argued by Aby Warburg. This means that, although emotions are genetically embedded in our behavioral repertoire, they are controlled and managed according to the social group and culture to which individuals belong. As a matter of fact, all individuals share the same repertoire of emotional responses, but it is culture that governs how this repertoire is expressed.Desire and lust, care and nourishment, attachment and love, joy, anger, contempt, panic, compassion, admiration, fear, envy, and jealousy find their activation space in the social context. So, for Damasio, emotions represent a toolkit essential to relational life, and this volume primarily addresses the relationship between emotions and historical-cultural contexts.…

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume is the result of transdisciplinary studies conducted by professors and researchers of the Department of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. It cross-applies neuro-scientific, aesthetic, linguistic and rhetorical methods to focus on the concept of argumentation, much studied during the 20th century and then forsaken. The common thread that links the essays is the concept of figurative language intended as an argumentative tool, while throughout the 20th century it was believed that in every field of human knowledge formal approaches should prevail: only the form, it was thought, constitutes the purest essence, the "net weight" of things. In contrast to this, "Forms and Uses of Argument" intend to demonstrate that the figurative language - and first of all the metaphors - are in fact rather an archetypal "propellant" for the most widespread argumentative logics.…

Hardback. Condition: New. What happens in our brain when we create a story? Based on neuro-cognitivism, the study of narratives - ranging from novels to "life-stories", which relate to interstitial topics - has become more rigorous. In fact, an unparalleled panorama of constants, cemented since the Upper Palaeolithic, has been added to an unprecedented awareness of how each cultural habitat shapes the narratives of its inhabitants. This occured according to a particular neuro-cognitive style, thus limiting the so-called "authorial" freedom. Narratives - whether they originate from the Muses or from the voice of a completely illiterate individual - are like compressors that can zip together all the most crucial elements in our existence: time, space, intentions, purposes, agents and instrumental actions. For this reason, they represent an inexhaustible object of research.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Sesto San Giovanni, 2017; br., pp. 177, ill., cm 13x21. (Eterotopie). Il volume studia gli effetti della fiction (romanzi, film, serial TV) sul corpo in termini di incremento dell'empatia, diversificazione dei trasmettitori neurochimici, consolidamento del Sé, miglioramento delle capacità di mind reading, terapia dell'autismo, ecc. Si tratta di argomenti che la comunità scientifica internazionale sta scoprendo proprio in questi anni e ancora poco noti in Italia, di cui ha parlato un articolo apparso su "Nature" di recente. Il volume documenta il fatto che oggi le fiction "fanno bene" e ne spiega a lungo le ragioni, mentre in passato gli effetti erano considerati negativi, come appare evidente dal case-study dedicato ai lettori normanni di Madame Bovary e al gioco di identificazioni incrociate cui essi hanno dato luogo.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di V. Conti. Bologna, 2021; br., pp. 176, cm 13x21. (Salmagundi). A partire dall'antichità l'uomo ha periodicamente documentato il dilagare di epidemie e pandemie, raccontando al tempo stesso una delle sue paure più recondite: il contagio. Eppure quest'ultimo ha assunto configurazioni e significati differenti in base al contesto storico-sociale e alle scoperte medicoscientifiche dell'epoca. Basti pensare alle credenze del mondo antico sull'origine soprannaturale delle epidemie, che spesso si riteneva fossero provocate da offese commesse dagli uomini contro le divinità. La dichiarazione dell'Organizzazione mondiale della sanità sullo stato di pandemia da Covid-19 dell'11 marzo 2020 ha attivato degli effetti collettivi ancestrali, che la letteratura mostra in modo assai chiaro. Infatti, le malattie infettive e il timore dell'essere contagiati non solo hanno sempre occupato un ruolo preminente a livello narrativo, ma rappresentano altresì forme archetipiche dalle molteplici sfumature.
