Una nuova svolta negli studi letterari: la convergenza tra computazione, cognizione ed evoluzione

Distant reading, an empirical and quantitative approach in literary studies proposed by Franco Moretti, has raised a lively debate attracted criticisms from "traditional scholars." An important reason behind these is the need for solid theoretical foundations: distant reading perhaps first methodology that do not include specific theory of literature, ontology literary. Much work field derives its frameworks theories twentieth-century tradition, based on assumption texts can be understood through interpretation. A large-scale to cultural phenomena mainly incompatible with "the hermeneutic attitude" traditional theories. Therefore, I propose convergence cognitive bio-evolutionary approaches literature evolution shift "interpretation" "explanation" as goal computational studies.
