- Literature and Predictive Processing

Om Probability Designs

In Probability Designs, Karin Kukkonen proposes a new perspective on the complex role of predictions and probabilities in the dynamics of literary narrative. Predictive processing, an emerging account of cognition in neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, provides the theoretical backdrop for an investigation of how literary texts shape readers'' expectations and experience. Through deft analysis of the literary canon in a variety of cultures andlanguages, she constructs a comprehensive model of probability in a novel''s plots, immersive appeal, and potential for reflection. Linking predictive processing to the idea that culture and cognition always develop in tandem, Kukkonen then sketches a place for literature and literary form in this exchange - a mode ofexploratory thinking that takes language and writing to the next level.Chance encounters, last-minute rescues, and coincidences launch Kukkonen''s investigation of the literary manipulation of predictions. Through an enlightening blend of cognitive sciences and literary theory, Probability Designs enriches scholarly debates in literary studies and sheds light on how vital literature is for human thought.
