This book explores the value for literary studies of the model of communication known as relevance theory. Drawing on a wide range of examples - lyric poems by Yeats, Herrick, Heaney, Dickinson, and Mary Oliver, novels by Cervantes, Flaubert, Mark Twain, and Edith Wharton - nine of the tenessays are written by literary specialists and use relevance theory both as a broad framing perspective and as a resource for detailed analysis. The final essay, by Deirdre Wilson, co-founder (with Dan Sperber) of relevance theory, takes a retrospective view of the issues addressed by the volume andconsiders the implications of literary studies for cognitive approaches to communication. Relevance theory, described by Alastair Fowler as "nothing less than the makings of a radically new theory of communication, the first since Aristotle's", offers a comprehensive pragmatics of language andcommunication grounded in evidence about the ways humans think and behave. While designed to capture the everyday murmur of conversation, gossip, peace-making, hate speech, love speech, "body-language", and the chatter of the internet, it covers the whole spectrum of human modes of communication, including literature in the broadest sense as a characteristically human activity. Reading Beyond the Code is unique in using relevance theory as a prime resource for literary study, and it is also the first to claim that the model works best for literature when understood in the light of a broader cognitive approach, focusing on a range of phenomena that support an "embodied"conception of cognition and language. This broadened perspective serves to enhance the value for literary studies of the central claim of relevance theory, that the "code model" is fundamentally inadequate to account for human communication, and in particular for the modes of communication that areproper to literature. | Reading Beyond the Code by Terence Cave, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
