A field guide to a new meta-field

Barbara Stafford is a pioneering art historian whose research has long helped to bridge the divide between the humanities and cognitive sciences. In A Field Guide to a New Meta-Field, she marshals a distinguished group of thinkers to forge a ground-breaking dialogue between the emerging brain sciences, the liberal arts, and social sciences. Stafford{u2019}s book examines meaning and mental function from this dual experimental perspective. The wide-ranging essays included here{u2014}from Frank Echenhofer{u2019}s foray into shamanist hallucinogenic visions to David Bashwiner{u2019}s analysis of emotion and danceability{u2014}develop a common language for implementing programmatic and institutional change. Demonstrating how formerly divided fields are converging around shared issues, A Field Guide to a New Meta-Field maps a high-level, crossdisciplinary adventure from one of our leading figures in visual studies.
