Book Synopsis Animal Perception and Literary Language by : Donald Wesling

Download or read book Animal Perception and Literary Language written by Donald Wesling and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal Perception and Literary Language shows that the perceptual content of reading and writing derives from our embodied minds. Donald Wesling considers how humans, evolved from animals, have learned to code perception of movement into sentences and scenes. The book first specifies terms and questions in animal philosophy and surveys recent work on perception, then describes attributes of multispecies thinking and defines a tradition of writers in this lineage. Finally, the text concludes with literature coming into full focus in twelve case studies of varied readings. Overall, Wesling's book offers not a new method of literary criticism, but a reveal of what we all do with perceptual content when we read.
