Application of cognitive research methods at the boundaries of literature and film : Ted Chiang – "The Story of Your Life" and its conceptual metaphors

Vol.23,No.2(2020)

Abstract
The study presents current methodological perspectives of interdisciplinary research on literature at the borders with the audiovisual medium, combining the adaptation studies and the cognitive literary approach. This combination merged through neoformalist tradition, which emphasizes the often neglected motivation of the artistic sign in the whole (technical and cognitive) process of its origin. Paper will explain where and why the methodological milieu for a cognitive approach to adaptations arises, and then offer a case study of The Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang and its film adaptation Arrival with the aplication of interdiciplinary method.

Keywords:
