 strange concepts
and the stories they
make possible
Cognition, Culture, Narrative

Lisa Zunshine

In this fresh and often playful interdisciplinary study,

Lisa Zunshine presents a fluid discussion of how key
concepts from cognitive science complicate our cul
tural interpretations of "strange" literary phenomena.

From Short Circuit to /, Robot,from The ParentTrap to

Big Business, fantastic tales of rebellious robots, ani
mated artifacts, and twins mistaken for each other are
a permanent fixture in popular culture and have been
since antiquity. Why do these strange concepts capti
vate the human imagination so thoroughly? Zunshine
explores how cognitive science, specifically its ideas of
essentialism and functionalism, combined with histori
cal and cultural analysis, can help us understand why
we find such literary phenomena so fascinating.
