Kinesic Humor literature, embodied cognition, and the dynamics of gesture

Summary:	Literature is one of the richest sources of information concerning the ways in which human beings are able to play with cognition. According to the theory of embodied cognition, human cognition is grounded in sensorimotricity, i.e., the ability to feel, perceive, and move. The pervading cognitive process called perceptual simulation, which is activated when we cognitively process a gesture in a real-life situation, is also recruited when we read about actions, movements, and gestures in texts. 'Kinesic Humor' examines literary works written by major authors - including Chrétien de Troyes, Cervantes, Milton, Saint-Simon, Rousseau, Sterne, and Stendhal - in which perceptual simulations of complex sensorimotor events and kinesic interactions trigger humorous effects.  Read more...
