| Zusammenfassung: | A century and a half after the publication of Origin of Species, evolutionary thinking has expanded beyond the field of biology to include virtually all human-related subjects--anthropology, archeology, psychology, economics, religion, morality, politics, culture, and art. Now a distinguished scholar offers the first comprehensive account of the evolutionary origins of art and storytelling. Brian Boyd explains why we tell stories, how our minds are shaped to understand them, and what difference an evolutionary understanding of human nature makes to stories we love. Art is a specifically human adaptation, Boyd argues. It offers tangible advantages for human survival, and it derives from play, itself an adaptation widespread among more intelligent animals. More particularly, our fondness for storytelling has sharpened social cognition, encouraged cooperation, and fostered creativity. After considering art as adaptation, Boyd examines Homer's Odyssey and Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! demonstrating how an evolutionary lens can offer new understanding and appreciation of specific works. What triggers our emotional engagement with these works? What patterns facilitate our responses? The need to hold an audience's attention, Boyd underscores, is the fundamental problem facing all storytellers. Enduring artists arrive at solutions that appeal to cognitive universals: an insight out of step with contemporary criticism, which obscures both the individual and universal. Published for the bicentenary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species, Boyd's study embraces a Darwinian view of human nature and art, and offers a credo for a new humanism. |

"><subfield code="a">A century and a half after the publication of Origin of Species, evolutionary thinking has expanded beyond the field of biology to include virtually all human-related subjects--anthropology, archeology, psychology, economics, religion, morality, politics, culture, and art. Now a distinguished scholar offers the first comprehensive account of the evolutionary origins of art and storytelling. Brian Boyd explains why we tell stories, how our minds are shaped to understand them, and what difference an evolutionary understanding of human nature makes to stories we love. Art is a specifically human adaptation, Boyd argues. It offers tangible advantages for human survival, and it derives from play, itself an adaptation widespread among more intelligent animals. More particularly, our fondness for storytelling has sharpened social cognition, encouraged cooperation, and fostered creativity. After considering art as adaptation, Boyd examines Homer's Odyssey and Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! demonstrating how an evolutionary lens can offer new understanding and appreciation of specific works. What triggers our emotional engagement with these works? What patterns facilitate our responses? The need to hold an audience's attention, Boyd underscores, is the fundamental problem facing all storytellers. Enduring artists arrive at solutions that appeal to cognitive universals: an insight out of step with contemporary criticism, which obscures both the individual and universal. Published for the bicentenary of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species, Boyd's study embraces a Darwinian view of human nature and art, and offers a credo for a new humanism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Fiction</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85048060</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Fiction</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism</subfield><subfield code="x">Theory, etc.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Fiction</subfield><subfield code="x">Authorship.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85048057</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Roman</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire et critique.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Roman</subfield><subfield code="x">Art d'écrire.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Roman</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire et critique</subfield><subfield code="x">Théorie, etc.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TRAVEL</subfield><subfield code="x">Special Interest</subfield><subfield code="x">Literary.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">LITERARY CRITICISM</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">LITERARY CRITICISM</subfield><subfield code="x">Semiotics & Theory.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Fiction</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Fiction</subfield><subfield code="x">Authorship</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Erzählen</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4132307-5</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Evolutionspsychologie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4636472-9</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Literatur</subfield><subfield code="x">Evolution.</subfield><subfield code="2">idsbb</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Evolution</subfield><subfield code="x">Literatur.</subfield><subfield code="2">idsbb</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Criticism, interpretation, etc.</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">On the origin of stories (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGk6qHXVH8WFrPTyd4hH3P</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Boyd, Brian, 1952-</subfield><subfield code="t">On the origin of stories.</subfield><subfield code="d">Cambridge, Mass. : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009</subfield><subfield code="z">9780674033573</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2009007642</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)261174055</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=327554</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBL -
