We've known this at least since the days of Plato and Aristotle. What this book helps us to understand now is how our own emotions fundamentally organize and orient stories. In light of recent cognitive research and wide reading in different narrative traditions, Patrick Colm Hogan argues that the structure of stories is a systematic product of human emotion systems. Examining the ways in which incidents, events, episodes, plots, and genres are a function of emotional processes, he demonstrates that emotion systems are absolutely crucial for understanding stories. \u003cbr\u003eHogan also makes a case for the potentially integral role that stories play in the development of our emotional lives. He provides an in-depth account of the function of emotion within story--in widespread genres with romantic, heroic, and sacrificial structures, and more limited genres treating parent\/child separation, sexual pursuit, criminality, and revenge--as these appear in a variety of cross-cultural traditions. In the course of the book Hogan develops interpretations of works ranging from Tolstoy's \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e to African oral epics, from Sanskrit comedy to Shakespearean tragedy. \u003cbr\u003eIntegrating the latest research in affective science with narratology, this book provides a powerful explanatory account of narrative organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Colm Hogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Frontiers of Narrative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803230026","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46020785209481,"sku":"9780803230026","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d2c9c57b-4408-443f-89a1-eedca6a5b021.jpg?v=1777408341","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/affective-narratology-the-emotional-structure-of-stories-9780803230026","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
