Description

The ideal reader is usually presented as someone engrossed in a book, sitting still and not turning their gaze from the page. But how does this image correspond to modern cognitive science, and why do we actually lose the joy of reading?



In this podcast episode, Sarah Bro Trasmundi, LCE researcher and Associate Professor of Cognitive Ethnography at University of Southern Denmark, talks to Karin Kukkonen about the embodied perspective on reading, short attention spans and the necessity of finding new ways of teaching literature.

Post-production: Bård Ingebrigtsen & Vera Syrovatskaya.
