“…Lo que es más, pese a la afirmación menos demandante de Wilkes de que la literatura construye mundos lógicamente posibles, es un hecho bien conocido que las obras literarias a menudo presentan contradicciones lógicas, bien sea por un error involuntario o como parte integral del efecto estético buscado por el autor (vid. Ryan, 2013). Siendo así, y dado que tanto Wilkes como Ricoeur criticaban los experimentos mentales restringidos únicamente por el recurso a la posibilidad lógica por considerar ésta demasiado laxa, cabe preguntarse si el hecho de que la literatura ni siquiera esté realmente restringida por la posibilidad lógica no debería descartarla como recurso metodológico a la hora de utilizar bombas de intuición.…”

Resumen: El uso de experimentos mentales tradicionalmente ha sido uno de los principales recursos metodológicos en el debate sobre la identidad personal. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas han recibido un creciente número de críticas. Esto ha provocado que muchos filósofos interesados en el problema de la identidad personal los hayan abandonado. Es el caso de la mayoría de los teóricos de la identidad narrativa. En este artículo comparo las críticas de Wilkes a los experimentos mentales con las de Ricoeur. Al hacerlo, espero demostrar que sus críticas se cancelan mutuamente, al menos de manera parcial, y que los teóricos de la identidad narrativa están comprometidos a aceptar el uso de experimentos mentales. Palabras clave: Identidad personal, Experimentos mentales, Wilkes, Ricoeur, Narrativismo. Abstract:The use of thought experiments has been one of the main methodological resources in the debate on personal identity. However, over the past decades, there has been an increasing amount of criticism against them. This has caused that many philosophers interested in the problem of personal identity have abandoned this methodology. This is the case with most of narrative identity theorists. In the present paper, I compare Wilkesʼ criticisms against thought experiments with Ricoeurʼs. In doing so, I hope to show that they partially cancel each other, and that narrative identity theorists are committed to accept the use of thought experiments.

Immersion, Identification, and the Iliad

Immersion, Identification, and the Iliad explains why people care about this foundational epic poem and its characters. It represents the first book-length application to the Iliad of research in communications, literary studies, media studies, and psychology on how readers of a story or viewers of a play, movie, or television show find themselves immersed in the tale and identify with the characters. Immersed recipients get wrapped up in a narrative and the world it depicts and lose track to some degree of their real-world surroundings. Identification occurs when recipients interpret the storyworld from a character’s perspective, feel emotions congruent with those of a character, and/or root for a character to succeed. This volume situates modern research on these experiences in relation to ancient criticism on how audiences react to narratives. It then offers close readings of select episodes and detailed analyses of recurring features to show how the Iliad immerses both ancient and modern recipients and encourages them to identify with its characters. Accessible to students and researchers, to those inside and outside of classical studies, this interdisciplinary project aligns research on the Iliad with contemporary approaches to storyworlds in a range of media. It thereby opens new frontiers in the study of ancient Greek literature and helps investigators of audience engagement from antiquity to the present contextualize and historicize their own work.
