| Key points | Argues that the extended-mind approach has both possibilities and limitations for narrative theory, and proposes a broader concept, the "fully extended mind," to account for the varied ways cognition may "leak out" in novels and graphic narrative, building on Jacques Lacan's work on the relation between mind and matter. |
Abstract
complements to the current philosophical account arising from earlier work on the relation between mind and matter in the work of Jacques Lacan, from a transmedial perspective with examples from novels and graphic narrative.In the course of our argument, the possibilities and limitations of the extended-mind approach in informing narrative theory are explored and, in turn, the scope of the extended-mind approach is unfolded in what I call the 'fully extended mind' in order to do justice to the varied ways in which cognition may 'leak out' in novels and graphic narrative.
