Kukkonen draws on work on embodied aspects of language and the extended mind hypothesis, as well the notion that “realism” of the novel depends in particular on inscribing these texts successfully in readers’ lifeworlds.

The talk will be streamed on youtube the 7 December, 11 a.m. UTC. The link and more information about the ENSO Seminar Series can be found on their website.
