Abstract: What is the object of knowledge in literary studies? What is the relation between the academic study of literature and the public sphere? Terence Cave addresses these and other questions about the discipline as a human activity by inserting it into a wider interdisciplinary frame that is at once flexible and respectful of its special character as an object of knowledge: a cognitive approach to the study of literature. Cave spent five years exploring this approach in a series of intensive workshops and discussion groups that constituted the research project for his 2009 International Balzan Foundation Prize for Literature. In this sixth Annual Balzan Lecture, Cave begins by sketching out a general perspective within which the work of the interdisciplinary Balzan research project ‘Literature as an Object of Knowledge’ (St. John’s College Research Centre, Oxford, 2010-2013) has taken shape, with considerations on some of the problems encountered, in particular the relation between literary study and cognitive science. He then focuses on literary texts, applying cognitive approaches to offer a new perspective on the material out of which literature is made.

Firenze, 8/11/2005. A cura di P.Viti. Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2007, cm.17x24, pp.X-174, 5 figg.nt. brossura Coll.Acquae. Studi e Testi sulle Terme,1. Il volume presenta studi sulla letteratura termale diversi per tematiche e ambientazioni territoriali, per momenti ed esperienze culturali: sui medici medievali Ugolino Caccini e Francesco Casini, sulla lettera di Poggio Bracciolini da Baden del 1416, sulla raccolta cinquecentesca «De balneis», sull'irradiazione europea del termalismo nelle arti figurative, sugli spostamenti di Montaigne, sulle vicende di un funzionario fiorentino, Girolamo Vasari, sulle terme di Contursi, presso Salerno, e su altri siti termali agli inizi dell'Ottocento. These essays on literature related to balneology vary in themes and environmental settings, cultural moments and experiences: Ugolino Caccini and Francesco Casini, two medieval doctors; a letter Poggio Bracciolini wrote from Baden in 1416; the 16th-century collection «De balneis»; balneology in Europe and the figurative arts; Montaigne's travels; the life of Girolamo Vasari, a government official from Florence; the thermal baths of Contursi, near Salerno, and other thermal sites in the early 19th century.
