The Poetics of the Mind's Eye: Literature and the Psychology of ImaginationUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 1991 - 188 páginas Because every literary image is also a mental image, and because every mental image is a representation of an absent entity, Christopher Collins argues, imagination is a poiesis, a making-up, an act of play for both author and reader. In a book that stands at the intersection of poetic theory and cognitive psychology, Collins considers the processes by which language mediates mental images to make this play possible. The Poetics of the Mind's Eye examines the relation of mind to eye, or of mental imagination to visual perception. |
