Psycho-Literary Perspectives in Multimodal Contextsis primarily concerned with cross-disciplinary approaches that challenge the current prevalence of “science-inspired” ways of reading about and into literature, focusing on the review, investigation, and extensive cross-modal study of text, and the precipitation of narrative spectrum via a variety of methodologies, particularly through the psycho-literary conception of “embodiment.” This book series will publish academic monographs and edited volumes that take into consideration the practical scope of psycho-literary reading of narratives, by interrogating and challenging contemporary science-inspired ways of reading the literary text. In the past decade we have observed a rising trend in HE English subject towards medicalization of narrative emotions. The significance of inter- and multidisciplinary shifts in HE has meant that historical studies of affects have often acquired a vogue that ignores the nucleus (the narrative) in humanities. Historians of emotions, for the most part, tend to scientize literature and historicize sciences, while literary scholars and linguists try to define new methodologies by reworking psychological perspectives, and claiming they have invented proper ways of reading literature. This book series challenges such controversial aspects within HE, exploring and producing work that strictly questions and evidently showcases the point of convergence and disruption in these areas of study. Our aim is to publish work that presents comprehensive reading of the narrative spectrum, with a cross-modal concentration on texts, embodiments, and historical-philosophical contexts, challenging current tendencies toward scientization of humanities. Books published in this series will include theoretical, analytical, and methodological exploration of textuality and embodiment(s), convergence and disruption, cross-modal and theological aesthetics in the following fields: art and art history; historical studies of texts and emotions; literary and comparative studies; film and media studies; communication studies; philosophy (especially phenomenology and continental traditions and aesthetics); theological studies; and psychology. The series, as a whole, seeks to maintain coherence with other outlets of research within Embodiments Research Group, specifically International Journal of Literature and Psychology (ISSN 2050-2346). Our aim is to publish well-established world-leading scholars as well as emergent academics who propose cutting-edge research in the above-mentioned areas. The prime readership of Psycho-Literary Perspectives in Multimodal ContextsBook Series is psycho-literary, cross-disciplinary, and cross-cultural. We particularly welcome proposals that present an in-depth understanding of varieties of academic languages and aesthetics of textual studies.
