Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book is about the power of story-telling and the place of myth in the cultural memory of ancient Mesopotamia. Rather than reducing mythology to an archaic state of the mind, this study redefines myth as a system of knowledge (episteme) and part of cognitive and cultural experience servi…ng as an explanatory system. It demonstrates how among the multiple ways of world-making (Nelson Goodman) myth not only reflects experiences and reality but also constitutes reality in text and image alike. Drawing on cognitive semiotics, visual studies, and cognitive narratology, it explores the power of the image in showing and revealing something that is absent (deixis). Thus, it demonstrates the contribution of the image to knowledge production. The book calls for re-introducing meaning when dealing with the imagery and iconology of ancient Mesopotamia and introduces an innovative approach to the art history of the ancient Near East. Combining insights from art history, visual studies, cognitive narratology and cognitive semiotics, this book explores the human proclivity for story-telling and the power of myth in constituting and shaping reality in text and image. It establishes myth as one venue in world-making and addresses scholars in cultural history and antiquity studies.
