- Banks and her co-editor, Timothy Chesters, played equal roles in the conception and development of the volume and the selection and shaping of its content. While the Introduction was planned and revised jointly, Banks authored the section about the distinctiveness of the book’s approach and how it is situated in relation to other work on kinesic intelligence and to cognitive literary studies and the cognitive turn more broadly. Banks also wrote much of the discussion about the particular relevance of kinesic intelligence to understanding the Renaissance and humanism. The Introduction offers (among other things) a first approach to questions further developed in Banks’s essay. These include, in particular, the special pertinence of kinesic intelligence to renaissance humanism; the limitations of the dominant ‘cognitive’ approach to metaphor (Banks’s essay offers a different approach); and the broader notion that literary texts have distinctive ways of inviting or promoting the exercise of kinesic intelligence, and thus of exploiting complex interactions between sense-making and embodied response.
