摘要

很久以来,讲故事和阅读一直是人类活动的一部分。我们将简要回顾人类学证据,然后介绍 "现代小说 "的出现。现代小说 "在叙事中探索人物对生活环境的心理反映,包括失去、遗弃、绝望、疾病、垂死和死亡。我们报告的研究结果表明,对小说的哭泣反应与对音乐的哭泣反应一样频繁,这是以前从未报道过的:两者都 "打动了我们"。我们注意到一些评论家和作家对 "小说空间 "想象世界的暗示,即强调阅读戏剧动作的主动性而非被动性,后者是嵌入和体现在我们体内的。这涉及到心脑问题。我们简要介绍了脑成像的神经科学工作,这些工作揭示了与心智理论有关的大脑网络以及作为我们运动基础的大脑结构是如何参与到阅读文字和叙事行为中的。情感撕裂是智人的特有属性,哭泣对心理健康有积极的益处。我们认为,书目疗法需要得到比目前更多的关注。我们还认为,讲故事和 "现代小说 "与智人意识的发展密切相关。

The Neural Basis of Our Responses to Reading Novels: On Being Moved, the Motion in Emotion
Telling tales and reading have been a part of human activity for a very long time. We review in brief the anthropological evidence, then the emergence of the 'modern novel'. This explores in narratives the psychological reflections of the characters concerned with life circumstances including loss, abandonment, despair, illness, dying, and death. We report findings that the response of crying to a novel occurs as often as to music, not reported before: both 'move us'. We note what several critics and authors imply about the imagined world of 'novel space' which emphasizes the active not passive nature of reading dramatic action, the latter being embedded and embodied within us. This touches on the mind–brain problem. We provide a brief introduction to neuroscientific work with brain imaging revealing how cerebral networks to do with theory of mind and brain structures that are the basis of our movements are involved with the very act of reading words and narratives. Emotional tearing is an exclusive attribute of Homo sapiens, and crying can have positive benefits for mental health. We argue that bibliotherapy needs greater attention than has been the case at present. We also suggest that telling tales and the 'modern novel' are closely allied to the development of the consciousness of Homo sapiens.
