Heliodorus Against Palmer, Zunshine & Co subjects: ddc-800 subjects: ddc-880 divisions: i-70900 note: Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5325/style.49.3.0257 abstract: This essay challenges concepts that consider the theory of mind to be key to our response to narrative from a historical perspective. Although the classical modern novel lends itself to the claims of Palmer, Zunshine, and others on account of its prominent consciousness presentation, the ancient novel as well as modern paralittérature cannot be adequately described as “the description of fictional mental functioning.” An exemplary reading of Heliodorus’ Ethiopica draws our attention to an aspect that is in danger of being downplayed in cognitive narratology, namely the temporal dynamics of narrative. date: 2015 publisher: Penn State University Press id_scheme: DOI fp7_project_id: 312321 ppn_swb: 1657239446 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-204559 language: eng bibsort: GRETHLEINJISNARRATIV2015 full_text_status: public publication: Style volume: 49 number: 3 pagerange: 257-284 citation: Grethlein, Jonas (2015) Is Narrative “The Description of Fictional Mental Functioning”?
