| Zusammenfassung: | "When as young children we first start to read, we enjoy the experience in the most basic and intuitive sense. We are moved by The Last of the Mohicans (Cooper, 1826/ 1986), fascinated by The Jungle Book (Kipling, 2013) and thrilled by The Hound of the Baskervilles (Doyle, 2016). No difficulty is evident, at least from our perspective as naive readers. However, when we grow up and are socialized as reflective individuals, our old new friend, the text, appears in a new light. It becomes an object that requires interpretation, explanation and understanding. Our trust in the text as naive readers may be replaced with deep suspicion or a distant analytical stance. The text might become an object of conspiracy (for example, if we read Fenimore Cooper as representing a colonialist perspective) or of analytical observation (for example, if we analyze it similarly to a mathematical riddle or a frog in a biology lesson). In both cases, the aesthetic experience is lost with our cherished childish enchantment"-- |

In both cases, the aesthetic experience is lost with our cherished childish enchantment"-- Provided by publisher Half Title -- Series Information -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Figures and Tables -- List of Greek Letters -- Chapter 1 Introduction: On the Difficulty of Reading -- 1 On the Difficulty of Reading -- 2 Abstract Nonsense and Concrete Nonsense -- 3 There Is Nothing New in This Book -- 4 Epilogue: Borges' Insight -- Chapter 2 Symmetries and Literature, or How the Eel Popped Out of the Tap -- 1 On Augury, Birds and the Difficulty of Reading -- 2 On Eels and Conceptual Mathematics -- 3 Forgive Me Father for I Have Sinned -- 4 Tragic Transformations 5 From Sets to Categories -- 6 The Eel and Anu's Penis -- 7 From Anu's Penis to Conceptual Structures -- Chapter 3 "Why Is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?": On Forgetting and Similarities -- 1 On the Lesson We May Learn from a Riddle -- 2 Relations: from Peirce to Tesnière -- 2.1 Atmospheric Skull Sodomizing a Grand Piano -- Chapter 4 Maps of Identity: From Kafka's the Metamorphosis to Borges' Cartographers -- 1 Who Am I? -- 2 Man Is Never Coincident with Himself -- 3 On Borges' Map and Banach's Fixed-point Theorem -- 4 From Bakhtin to Banach, and from Banach to Embedding 5 Personal Identity: a Mathematical Perspective -- 6 Peirce on Self and Identity -- 7 Me, My Father, My Son and the Functor -- 8 On Retracts and Idempotents -- Chapter 5 Perspectives and Transformations: From Rashomon to The Death of Bunny Munro -- 1 From a Different Perspective -- 2 Adjoints and Back-translation -- 2.1 The Death of Bunny Munro -- Chapter 6 Hide and Seek: On the Reflective Novel -- 1 Down the Rabbit Hole and into the Reflective Mind -- 2 "Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe" -- 3 Down the Rabbit Hole and into the Coffee Bottle -- 4 The Reflective Subcategory 5 Rumpelstiltskin and Transformations -- 6 Here Comes the Author -- Chapter 7 Everything Must Change: From Rabbit, Run to the Kreutzer Sonata -- 1 Rabbit, Run -- 2 Transformations: the Conceptual Mathematics Perspective -- 3 On the Troubled Relations of Harry, the Rabbit -- 4 Some Lessons about Rabbit -- 4.1 The Kreutzer Sonata -- Chapter 8 On Dimensionality, Orthogonal Morphisms and the Naughty Turd -- 1 Dimensionality and the Complexity of the Novel -- 2 The Corrections of a Troubled Family -- 3 On Orthogonal Morphisms, Splitting and Complex Characters Chapter 9 Discussion: Toward a Deep Reading of Texts and Minds -- 1 From the Stabat Mater to the Chanting Mountains -- References -- Author Index -- Subject Index Reading, Psychology of. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85111673 Lecture Psychologie.
