- W4220848704 abstract "This entry focuses on “brain fiction” as it has developed in the United States in the past fifty years. The neuro-technological revolution in the second half of the twentieth century led to the development of neuroscience, which has been transferred to other disciplines – hence the emergence of neuromania – including literature. One new genre of fiction that has emerged from this development is the “neuronovel,” a word coined in 2009 by Marco Roth that is generally used now to refer to all the fiction centering on the brain since the 1990s. The neuronovel has reopened the “black box” of consciousness in neuroscientific terms. Materialists, physicalists or reductionists provide a materialist explanation of the mind, which, to them, is merely a state of the brain – personhood is thus replaced by “brainhood.” However, neuroscience has been unable so far to account for the complex relations among body, mind, self, and world. Neuronovelists engage with contemporary theories of being. Fiction allows them to ask questions about consciousness and selfhood, interiority and identity. Two major categories of neuronovels can be identified: narratives featuring characters with neurological conditions, also called “syndrome novels,” and narratives with protagonists engaged or merely interested in brain research – with Galatea 2.2 by Richard Powers as a case in point. Neuronovels tend to return to character, more conventional narrative forms, and traditional genres – particularly detective fiction – even if they also revise their conventions. While they tell stories about brain-related experience, they also emphasize the power and plasticity of literature." @default.
