Toward a Poetics of Cinematic Disgust

Julian Hanich

Film-Philosophy, 2011

This essay tries to categorize the range of artistic options that filmmakers currently have at hand to evoke bodily disgust. It asks: If we examine the variety of disgusting scenes at the movies, how can we usefully distinguish them? I present five categorical distinctions indicating choices filmmakers often implicitly make when disgust comes into ...

Relationship between language competence and emotional competence in middle childhood

L. Beck, I.R. Kumschick, M. Eid, G. Klann-Delius

Emotion, 2011

Research on children’s emotional competence has received considerable attention in the last decade, including the role of language. Language competence (LC) and emotional competence (EC) comprise multiple components. These components and their specific interrelations have not been studied sufficiently. In our study, we examined relations between mu...

Wozu Kunst? Ästhetik nach Darwin

Winfried Menninghaus

Berlin: Suhrkamp, 2011

Die Gesangskünste von Vögeln haben Künstler und Denker vielfach zu Parallelen mit den menschlichen Künsten angeregt. Erst Charles Darwin jedoch hat solchen Parallelen eine Theorie gegeben und sie anhand eines allgemeinen evolutionären Modells ästhetischer Darstellung und Rezeption erklärt. Winfried Menninghaus präsentiert Darwins Überlegungen als ...

Embodied meaning construction. Multimodal metaphor and expressive movement in speech, gesture, and in feature film

Hermann Kappelhoff, Cornelia Müller

Metaphor and the Social World 1 (2), 2011

In this article, we argue that multimodal metaphors are grounded in the dynamics of felt experiences. Felt experiences are inherently affective, with immediate sensory qualities and an affective stance. We suggest that as such, they ground the emergence and activation of metaphors. We illustrate this idea with analyzed data from a film and face-to-...

The time course of emotion effects in first and second language processing: a cross cultural ERP study with German–Spanish bilinguals

Markus Conrad, Guillermo Recio, Arthur M. Jacobs

Front. Psychology, 2011

To investigate whether second language processing is characterized by the same sensitivity to the emotional content of language – as compared to native language processing – we conducted an EEG study manipulating word emotional valence in a visual lexical decision task. Two groups of late bilinguals – native speakers of German and Spanish with suff...

Lyrisches Gespür. Vom geheimen Sensorium der Poesie

Burkhard Meyer-Sickendiek

Paderborn/München: Fink Verlag, 2011

Das Wort »Gespür« bezeichnet die Fähigkeit, einen verborgenen, nicht deutlich sichtbaren Sachverhalt gefühlsmäßig zu erfassen. Ungeklärt ist jedoch bis heute, warum gerade Gedichte – etwa Goethes Ein Gleiches – das Spüren immer wieder artikuliert haben. Gedichte erspüren die Gefühlswelt der Tiere, die Dämmerung, die abwesende Geliebte, den Bewussts...

Paper

The language void: the need for multimodality in primate communication research

Katie E. Slocombe, Bridget M. Waller, Katja Liebal

Animal Behaviour 81, 2011

Theories of language evolution often draw heavily on comparative evidence of the communicative abilities of extant nonhuman primates (primates). Many theories have argued exclusively for a unimodal origin of language, usually gestural or vocal. Theories are often strengthened by research on primates that indicates the absence of certain linguistic ...

A role for the motor system in binding abstract emotional meaning

R. Moseley, F. Carota, O. Hauk, B. Mohr, Friedemann Pulvermüller

Cerebral Cortex, 2011

Sensorimotor areas activate to action- and object-related words, but their role in abstract meaning processing is still debated. Abstract emotion words denoting body internal states are a critical test case because they lack referential links to objects. If actions expressing emotion are crucial for learning correspondences between word forms and e...

Is there a core neural network in empathy? An fMRI based quantitative meta-analysis

Y. Fan, N.W. Duncan, M. de Greck, G. Northoff

Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews 35, 2011

Whilst recent neuroimaging studies have identified a series of different brain regions as being involved in empathy, it remains unclear concerning the activation consistence of these brain regions and their specific functional roles. Using MKDA, a whole-brain based quantitative meta-analysis of recent fMRI studies of empathy was performed. This ana...

Evolution of the muscles of facial expression in a monogamous ape: Evaluating the relative influences of ecological and phylogenetic factors in Hylobatids

Anne M. Burrows, Rui Diogo, Bridget M. Waller, Christopher J. Bonar, Katja Liebal

The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology 294 (4), 2011

Facial expression is a communication mode produced by facial (mimetic) musculature. Hylobatids (gibbons and siamangs) have a poorly documented facial display repertoire and little is known about their facial musculature. These lesser apes represent an opportunity to test hypotheses related to the evolution of primate facial musculature as they are ...

Moving the hands and feet specifically impairs working memory for arm- and leg-related action words

Zubaida Shebani, Friedemann Pulvermüller

Cortex, 2011

Language and action systems of the human brain are functionally interwoven. Speaking about actions and understanding action-related speech sparks the motor system of the human brain and, conversely, motor system activation has an influence on the comprehension of action words and sentences. Although previous research has shown that motor systems be...

Neuroscience insights improve neurorehabilitation of poststroke aphasia

Marcelo L. Berthier, Friedemann Pulvermüller

Nature Reviews Neurology 7, 2011

The treatment of aphasias—acquired language disorders—caused by stroke and other neurological conditions has benefitted from insights from neuroscience and neuropsychology. Hebbian mechanisms suggest that massed practice and exploitation of residual neurological capacities can aid neurorehabilitation of patients with poststroke aphasia, and progres...

Neurophysiological preconditions of syntax acquisition

A. Friederici, R. Oberecker, J. Brauer

Psychological Research, 2011

Although the neural network for language processing in the adult brain is well specified, the neural underpinning of language acquisition is still underdetermined. Here, we define the milestones of syntax acquisition and discuss the possible neurophysiological preconditions thereof. Early language learning seems to be based on the bilateral tempora...

Word learning in 6-month-olds: Fast encoding – weak retention

Manuela Friedrich, Angela Friederici

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience 23, 2011

There has been general consensus that initial word learning during early infancy is a slow and time-consuming process that requires very frequent exposure, whereas later in development, infants are able to quickly learn a novel word for a novel meaning. From the perspective of memory maturation, this shift in behavioral development might represent ...
