- Infinity in Language : Conceptualization of the Experience of the Sublime, Hardcover by Holmqvist, Kenneth; Pluciennik, Jaroslaw, ISBN 1847189555, ISBN-13 9781847189554, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US
Pluciennik (theory of literature, University of Lodz, Poland) and Holmqvist (cognitive science, Lund University, Sweden) collaborate on this work, the result of many years of research. They look at the concept of the sublime from a literary. historical, linguistic and cognitive perspective. They discuss early theories of the sublime from the Roman Pseudo-Longinus through Edmund Burke, Kant and Nietzsche, among others. Their approach is anti-mimetic; how is the inexpressible expressed? The chapters explore various methods attempted by philosophers and authors. The result is a map of sublimity, from complete works, such as Tristram Shandy to word fragments -ful and -less. The blend that results is a theory of cognitive semantics that brings one closer to the mutable meaning of the sublime. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
