解説
This pioneering volume offers an expansive introduction to the relatively new field of evolutionary studies in imaginative culture. Contributors from psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and the humanities probe the evolved human imagination and its artefacts. The book forcefully demonstrates that imagination is part of human nature. Contributors explore imaginative culture in seven main areas:
- Imagination: Evolution, Mechanisms and Functions
- Myth and Religion
- Aesthetic Theory
- Music
- Visual and Plastic Arts
- Video Games and Films
- Oral Narratives and Literature
Evolutionary Perspectives on Imaginative Culture widens the scope of evolutionary cultural theory to include much of what "culture" means in common usage. The contributors aim to convince scholars in both the humanities and the evolutionary human sciences that biology and imaginative culture are intimately intertwined. The contributors illuminate this broad theoretical argument with comprehensive insights into religion, ideology, personal identity, and many particular works of art, music, literature, film, and digital media.
