The paper presents key results in the diachronic analysis of recognition (Aristotle’s concept of anagnorisis ) in works of Anglophone narrative fiction and film. Its focus is on the developing cognitive diversity in the representation of character responses during the cognitive-emotional crux which occurs at the heart of the recognition scene. The three forms covered are the recognition of close relationships (generally of kinship), recognition of hostile invaders, and recognition of the human threat to the environment. In contrast to previous research, the examples are taken from a wide range of realist and non-realist genres. The analysis of invasion narratives involves the recognition of enmity; this is mentioned by Aristotle but has received far less attention; the recognition of anthropogenic environmental threat, and its telling absence in some human responses – dysanagnorisis –, is largely a more recent form. The overall timespan of the examples ranges from the Renaissance to contemporary film. Notably, the recognition of enmity and of threat become a more common form in narratives of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with new examples in particular occurring in 1950s narratives. In the examples from the invasion narrative, key transformations in the representation of recognition in print versus film media, and in print-to-film adaptations, constitute an additional innovative focus of the paper. Overall, the representations of recognition studied are cognitively and emotionally diverse, with a marked growth in their ontological, emotional and cognitive complexity.

在身份转变、入侵和环境威胁的场景中重构现实：英语印刷品和电影叙事中对识别场景的历时探索


本文介绍了英语叙事小说和电影作品中认可（亚里士多德的 anagnorisis 概念）历时分析的关键结果。它的重点是在认知-情感关键时刻表现角色反应的认知多样性，这是识别场景的核心。涵盖的三种形式是承认亲密关系（通常是亲属关系）、承认敌对入侵者和承认人类对环境的威胁。与以前的研究相比，这些例子取自广泛的现实主义和非现实主义流派。对入侵叙事的分析涉及对敌意的承认;亚里士多德提到了这一点，但受到的关注要少得多;认识到人为环境威胁，以及它在一些人类反应中明显缺失——厌食症——在很大程度上是一种较新的形式。这些例子的总时间跨度从文艺复兴时期到当代电影不等。值得注意的是，对敌意和威胁的承认在 19 世纪和 20 世纪的叙事中变得更加普遍，尤其是 1950 年代的叙事中出现了新的例子。在入侵叙事的例子中，印刷媒体与电影媒体以及印刷到电影的改编中对认可表示的关键转变构成了本文的另一个创新重点。总体而言，所研究的认可表征在认知和情感上是多样化的，它们的本体论、情感和认知复杂性显着增加。
