Cognitive narrathology: possibilities of use in political science
https://doi.org/10.31249/poln/2023.03.04
Abstract
The article traces the formation of cognitive narratology, analyzes the possibilities and prospects of its use in the subject field of political science. It notes its relevance for the study of political phenomena and processes, as well as the importance of conceptualizing the concepts of «political perception» and «ideological representation» as cognitive phenomena. The cognitive-narratological concept of political perception is proposed, the essence of which is to consider perception as a type of knowledge about political phenomena and processes presented in mental models and embodied in speech forms. The possibilities of application in political studies of the concept of free indirect speech by M. Yan and cognitive interpretation of metaphors by J. Lakoff and M. Johnson are shown. It is concluded that political science is able not only to use the methodology of cognitive narratology in its research, but also to contribute to its pragmatic and constructivist development.
