Description
We say that literature can change your life. But is this statement supported by scientific evidence? How has this been researched? In this lecture, I will present recent work on how reading literature changes the perception of ourselves and the perception of others in a process called "transformative reading". I will discuss empirical research on the effects of reading on our emotional and cognitive capacities and explain how readers are guided in their insights into fictional and real selves.Period | 18 Nov 2024 |
