Blending in Diegesis: Public Lecture by Mark Turner
Mark Turner, Professor of Cognitive Science at Case Western Reserve University, reviews aspects of conceptual blending that are consciously and explicitly put onstage during diegesis (‘narrative’ and narration). He makes the case that advanced blending is a basic mental operation for human beings, and it is constant. There would be no diegesis of any kind without it.
Blending in Diegesis: Workshop Highlights with Mark Turner
Mark Turner, Professor of Cognitive Science at Case Western University, gave a workshop on September 7, 2002, as an extension of his Public Lecture on ‘Blending and Diegesis’ at the University of St Andrews. In this ‘master class’, students and faculty posed questions that connected cognitive science and blending theory to their own research.
