The Routledge International Handbook of Boredom
This comprehensive text is a unique handbook dedicated to research on boredom. The book brings together leading contributors from across three continents and numerous fields to provide an interdisciplinary exploration of boredom, its theoretical underpinnings, its experiential properties, and the applied contexts in which it occurs. Boredom is often viewed as a mental state with little utility, though recent research suggests that it can be a powerful motivator of human behavior that shapes our actions in many ways. The book examines boredom from a range of perspectives and is comprised of three parts. Part I delves into the theoretical approaches to boredom, presenting methods for its measu...
Music and Mental Imagery
Drawing on perspectives from music psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, musicology, clinical psychology, and music education, Music and Mental Imagery provides a critical overview of cutting-edge research on the various types of mental imagery associated with music. The four main parts cover an introduction to the different types of mental imagery associated with music such as auditory/musical, visual, kinaesthetic, and multimodal mental imagery; a critical assessment of established and novel ways to measure mental imagery in various musical contexts; coverage of different states of consciousness, all of which are relevant for, and often associated with, mental imagery in music, a...

The Moral Psychology of Boredom
Whether we like it or not, boredom is a major part of human life. It permeates our personal, social, practical, and moral existence. It shapes our world by demarcating what is engaging, interesting, or meaningful from what is not. It also sets us in motion insofar as its presence can motivate us to act in a plethora of ways. Indeed, in our search for engagement, interest, or meaning, our responses to boredom straddle the line between the good and the bad, the beneficial and the harmful, the creative and the mundane. In this volume, world-renowned researchers come together to explore a neglected but crucially important aspect of boredom: its relationship to morality. Does boredom cause individuals to commit immoral acts? Does it affect our moral judgment? Does the frequent or chronic experience boredom make us worse people? Is the experience of boredom something that needs to be avoided at all costs? Or can boredom be, at least sometimes, a solution and a positive moral force? The Moral Psychology of Boredom sets out to answer these and other timely questions.
The Cambridge Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics
The best survey of cognitive linguistics available, this Handbook provides a thorough explanation of its rich methodology, key results, and interdisciplinary context. With in-depth coverage of the research questions, basic concepts, and various theoretical approaches, the Handbook addresses newly emerging subfields and shows their contribution to the discipline. The Handbook introduces fields of study that have become central to cognitive linguistics, such as conceptual mappings and construction grammar. It explains all the main areas of linguistic analysis traditionally expected in a full linguistics framework, and includes fields of study such as language acquisition, sociolinguistics, diachronic studies, and corpus linguistics. Setting linguistic facts within the context of many other disciplines, the Handbook will be welcomed by researchers and students in a broad range of disciplines, including linguistics, cognitive science, neuroscience, gesture studies, computational linguistics, and multimodal studies.
Black Mamba
Un libro unico sul vero jackpot evolutivo dell’essere umano: l’immaginazione. Le capacità immaginative della nostra mente in tutte le sue sorprendenti e affascinanti sfaccettature in una trattazione brillante, ma saldamente ancorata alla scienza. Tra gli argomenti trattati: - Su quali basi il nostro cervello decide cos’è reale e trasforma la fantasia in realtà? - Perché è possibile allenare il corpo esercitando il mental training? - Cosa c’è di vero nella “legge dell’attrazione”? - I videogiochi davvero rendono stupidi e violenti? - Bastano i nostri sensi per distinguere ciò che è reale da ciò che non lo è?
Le réel et le virtuel
La pluralité qui caractérise les mondes sociaux recoupe la dispersion affectant la conceptualisation de l'action. Ce faisant, l'accession au schéma désir / moyen moteur / fin favorise la démarcation du comportement conditionné, tandis que l'évaluation du rôle des croyances dans l'action clarifie les règles conventionnelles et les systèmes symboliques. L'action ressortit autant de l'effectuation pratique que de la représentation.Au cours de l'évolution humaine, ce binôme s'est différencié, se complexifiant en plusieurs mondes constitutifs de notre univers symbolique: mondes de la veille et du rêve, de la vérité et du mensonge, de la vraisemblance et du simulacre, du récit f...
