Creativity as Pastiche: A Computational Model of Dynamic Blending and Textual Collage, with Special Reference to the Use of Blending in Cinematic Narratives
The theory of blended spaces of Fauconnier and Turner (1994,1998), also known as the many-space model of conceptual integration, is a bold new theory in cognitive science that unifies metaphor, analogy, metonymy and conceptual combination within a framework of interconnected mental spaces. Through an analysis of cinematic pastiche, a form of creative reuse and structural blending in the develop...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Aspects of Theory Blending
In Cognitive Science, conceptual blending has been proposed as an important cognitive mechanism that facilitates the creation of new concepts and ideas by constrained combination of available knowledge. It thereby provides a possible theoretical foundation for modeling high-level cognitive faculties such as the ability to understand, learn, and create new concepts and theories. Quite often the ...

Besides providing an overview of state-of-the-art methods, this study aims (a) to emp...
متن کاملBlending and Your Bank Account: Conceptual Blending in ATM Design
In this paper I explore Fauconnier and Turner's (1998) conceptual blending as an evaluative technique for user interface design. Conceptual blending theory offers a rich model that may account for meaning construction and meaning elaboration in design. Blending has been used previously to analyze jokes (Coulson, 1995), metaphor (Fauconnier & Turner, 1998), and Hebrew verb morphology (Mandelblit...
متن کاملConcept Invention and Music: Creating Novel Harmonies via Conceptual Blending
Conceptual blending is a cognitive theory whereby elements from diverse, but structurally-related, mental spaces are “blended” giving rise to new conceptual spaces that often possess new powerful interpretative properties, allowing better understanding of known concepts or the emergence of novel concepts altogether. This paper provides an overview of the wide computational methodological spectr...
