Laurie Johnson

Synopsis
Podcast series in which Dr Neema Parvini, author of Shakespeare’s History Plays: Rethinking Historicism and Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory: New Historicism and Cultural Materialism, interviews Shakespeare scholars and literary theorists from around the world in a bid to gain an understanding of current thinking in Shakespeare studies and in literary criticism more generally.

In this edition, following on from the debate with Lyne Raphael, Parvini talks to Laurie Johnson from the University of Southern Queensland, who explains the distinction between "embodied cognition" and "distributed cognition" and how these terms relate to Shakespeare and the early modern theatre.
