Literary Neurodiversity: A Future?
摘要
This chapter offers one possible future for literary neurodiversity studies. Because neurodiversity reflects the infinite variety of human cognitive, emotional, and sensory functioning, it argues that all analyses of literary cognition, literary emotion, and literary sensation can be understood as united by its neurological interest, and thus can all be seen under the umbrella of literary neurodiversity studies. The chapter describes how we might radically expand our understanding of literary neurodiversity, while still maintaining our ethical commitments to neurodivergent ways of being.
