Emotion and Affect in Reading McEwan: Empirical Analysis of Readers' Response
Original language description
The presented paper aims to illustrate the contribution of cognitive approach both to the research of literary reading experience and the practice of literary analysis. It presents the results of an empirical, questionnaire-based research of readers' responses to selected narrative texts and contrasts traditional close readings of two short stories by the British writer Ian McEwan, "Homemade" and "Butterflies", with a structured cognitive analysis of these stories, based on collected empirical data fromover two hundred voluntary readers. The purpose of the analysis was to confirm a hypothesis that readers' interpretations of literary narratives are shaped both by their cognitive frames and models, i.e. previously acquired, culture based knowledge andexperience, and also by general cognitive structures of the mind which influence the readers' interpretative strategies and mental representations of a fictional discourse.
