  Human Cognition in Andreï Makine’s Oeuvre

  Human Cognition in Andreï Makine’s Oeuvre

  Despite being at the heart of Makine’s aesthetics, the literary depiction of human cognition has received a rather limited amount of critical attention to date (Mistreanu 2018 and 2019). The aim of the study days we are organizing is to fill this gap. We invite all the researchers interested in Makine’s work – in which we include the four novels the author has published under the pseudonym of Gabriel Osmonde –, in the burgeoning field of cognitive literary studies (cf. Oatley 2011; Caracciolo and Bernini 2013; Jaén and Simon 2013; Calabrese and Ballerio 2014; Zunshine 2015; Garratt 2016; Lavocat 2016; Cave 2016;Troscianko and Burke 2017), as well as in cognitive neuroscience and psychology, to discuss the way in which the human mind and brain are depicted in the texts of the youngest member of the Académie française.
