Abstract

This essay proposes a comparison between Cognitive Narratology, which studies narrative in its many forms, emphasizing mental/biological processes as similar in reader and author, and Digital Humanities’ distant reading approach which identifies literary systems and forms more globally, drawing on the computer as a tool for interpretation. The main ideas of cognitive narratology developed by one of its most principal theorists, David Herman, are presented focusing on the definition and relationships between reader and text. Cognitive narratology as interdisciplinary approach towards close reading are mentioned to dialogue with the main topics of the digital humanities literary approach, especially the ideas delineated by Franco Moretti. The contrast of both approaches will focus on the role of the reader by finding some contact points between them.

Author Biography

David Hoyos García, McGill University

David Hoyos García is PhD Candidate in Literature at McGill University at the Department of Language, Literature and Cultures. His academic interest is Latin American literatures and cultural studies, focusing on subaltern narratology, transnational literature and cinema, music and performance, digital literature, as well as comparative literatures. His current project research, “Cumbia and Musical Imaginaries in Literature and Cinema: Crossing the Border from South to North America”, regards how the process of popular cultural appropriation inherent in Cumbia operates as a unifier and a vehicle for the reformulation of border traditions from South to North America, including Brazil, and how this acquires social legitimacy through mainstream cultural consumption. This research project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
