Enactive and Predictive Practices of Reading and Belief
Join us for a fascinating talk on cognitive research on literary reading!
In his presentation, Mats Haraldsen will give an overview of how we can understand reading and religious practices in new ways by looking at them from the perspective of enactive and predictive cognitive science. Specifically, Haraldsen will discuss how cognitive research on literary reading can contribute to the understanding of religious reading and to the overall nature of religious practices. This event is co-organised by RADHEART.
Mats Haraldsen is a completion grant holder at the University of Oslo, with a PhD in French Literature. He works with enactive, extended and predictive approaches to cognition in order to understand different cultural practices, using interdisciplinary methods. He has published research within literary studies, cognitive ethnography, philosophy of the mind, and the cognitive science of religion.
This talk will take place in English. All welcome!
