Recenzje

Solidly and critically based on cognitive science for methodology and using literary works with historical and cultural diversity as its valuable data, Patrick Hogan's book presents a brilliant, insightful and nuanced investigation of sexuality and gender. Considering the role of affect and emotion in shaping sexual identities, among other innovations and modifications, it is a provocative and significant contribution to the burgeoning field of cognitive cultural study.
