Embodied Criticism. Theoretical Foundations of Cognitive Poetics

How cognitive is cognitive poetics? Adding a symbolic approach to the embodied one

Theoretical Foundations

This chapter addresses the theoretical foundations for research in educational communications and technology. Four relevant areas are explored: (1) the psychology of learning, (2) communications theory, (3) human–computer interaction, and (4) instructional design and development. Past work in these four areas can be viewed as providing a theoretical foundation for further research and developme...

Theoretical Foundations of Paleogenetics

This paper presents mathematical reflections that were completed during the Spring of 1966 (Holmquist [9]). In light of increasing knowledge and interest in the evolutionary significance of the primary amino acid or nucleotide base sequences of homologous (see Section 3.2 for definitions) proteins or DNA's, both within and among various phylogenetic species, these calculations are given here in...

The Theoretical Foundations of Jus Cogens in International Law

International Law has it's Constituent elements (legal systems, regimes and collections of rules); Those have  interrelations from which legal networks are created. Having this in mind,  the question is whether these Constituent elements only have horizental nexus or are ordered by means of factors which unified them in a vertical manner and because of that International Law is named legal orde...

Do Real Numbers Really Move? Language, Thought, and Gesture: The Embodied Cognitive Foundations of Mathematics

Robotics, artificial intelligence and, in general, any activity involving computer simulation and engineering relies, in a fundamental way, on mathematics. These fields constitute excellent examples of how mathematics can be applied to some area of investigation with enormous success. T his, of course, includes embodied oriented approaches in these fields, such as Embodied Artificial Intelligen...
