I also keep an eye on "The Valve," where there is often interesting material. I have looked up the article entitled "The actor problem" to which you give a link. I have a Transatlantic flight tomorrow, and I look forward to reading it then. If I have any thoughts on the article that might be of general interest I will post them on this site, if that would be all right with you.Keith Oatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419339550879570935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455277388900637928.post-83598675478182578802009-05-19T06:20:00.000-04:002009-05-19T06:20:00.000-04:00KO: thanks for this.

I actually link to a much earlier work over in the comments box at The Valve in which I explore the phenomenon of emoting for fictions. I'd be pleased if you were able to take a look at it. It was published some four years ago or so now and my thinking has advanced from there quite a bit but it may prove interesting to you and provide some further resources on the issues in Philosophy of Mind and how we process fictional accounts/portrayals of characters.<br /><br />http://blackboard.lincoln.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/users/dmeyerdinkgrafe/archive/pierce.html<br /><br />I added the link here--this particular article is being included in a book that's being published next year.blog nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546454002729653696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455277388900637928.post-78477524274780869952009-05-19T04:07:00.000-04:002009-05-19T04:07:00.000-04:00Thank you very much, Blog Nerd, for this ...

Advisory and empathetic projection do seem to bear interesting similarities to the cognitive science idea of forward and backward chaining. The chaining idea is a general one about reasoning, whereas, from what I can see (from a very quick view), the Lakoff and Johnson idea is about two kinds of identification in theatre. I am very grateful to you, and will pursue this further.Keith Oatleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419339550879570935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455277388900637928.post-2300282773105572382009-05-18T11:56:00.000-04:002009-05-18T11:56:00.000-04:00Are you familiar with Lakoff and Johnson's concept...Are you familiar with Lakoff and Johnson's concepts of empathic and advisory projection? It sounds identical to the idea of forward chaining (advisory projection) and backward chaining (empathic projection). If you are familiar with those terms are there differenes? Or are they slightly different descriptions of the same phenomenon?blog nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546454002729653696noreply@blogger.com
