Journal Article
Completing the Paradigm: In Pursuit of Evidence
2008
Overview
[...] although in his target paper Carroll has placed a good deal of emphasis on contributing fields, arguing for the benefits of \"scientific method,\" such as \"a rigorous empirical analysis of cognitive mechanisms,\" the importation of theories and approaches from outside the field of literature itself brings the risk that the distinctively literary qualities of literature will be misrepresented or overlooked - a danger that \"Humanistic sensitivity to the fine shades of tone and style\" will likely not be effective enough to avert. An evolutionary role for literature, we might hypothesize, only developed as it did for this reason, that human beings turned to literature for experiences unavailable elsewhere. [...] literary theories, drawn from the literary domain (regarding such matters as style, narrative structure, genre), must be regarded as central to the evolutionary endeavour, if they can illuminate what is inherent to literary experience from the Pleistocene up to Jane Austen and beyond.
