Because literature plays a central role in discussions of empathy across disciplines, reconsidering how literature relates to "feeling with" others is key to rethinking empathy conceptually. This collection challenges common understandings of empathy, asking readers to question what it is, how it works, and who is capable of performing it. The authors reveal the exciting research on empathy that is currently emerging from literary studies while also making productive connections to other areas of study such as psychology and neurobiology. While literature has been central to discussions of empathy in divergent disciplines, the ways in which literature is often thought to relate to empathy can be simplistic and/or problematic. The basic yet popular postulation that reading literature necessarily produces empathy and pro-social moral behavior greatly underestimates the complexity of reading, literature, empathy, morality, and society. Even if empathy were a simple neurological process, we would still have to differentiate the many possible kinds of empathy in relation to different forms of art. All the complexities of literary and cultural studies have still to be brought to bear to truly understand the dynamics of literature and empathy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Empathy in literature. 650 0 $a Literature $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Sociology in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / Cognitive Psychology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a PSYCHOLOGY / Social Psychology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Empathy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908892 650 7 $a Literature $x Psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000008 650 7 $a Sociology in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123934 700 1 $a Hammond, Meghan Marie, $e editor. 700 1 $a Kim, Sue J., $e editor. 830 0 $a Routledge interdisciplinary perspectives on literature ; $v 31. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502030439.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116135344.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15C3AF4479F111E483621AAFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
