| Sumario: | Presentación del editor: "Neuroscience sheds light on the human proclivity for storytelling. Humans would not produce narratives so prolifically if they weren't somehow good for human brains and embodied interactions with the world. The author connects neuroscience with humanistic narrative theory. He explains how stories coordinate time, represent embodied action, and promote social collaboration, which are all fundamental to the brain-body interactions through which humans evolved as a species and constructed the cultures they inhabit." |
