"Theory and Interpretation of Narrative," the Ohio State University Press series co-edited by Professor of Comparative Literature Peter J. Rabinowitz and James Phelan, has just published its 29th volume: Patrick Colm Hogan's Understanding Nationalism: On Narrative, Cognitive Science, and Identity. 

Working at the intersection of narrative theory, cognitive science, and politics, Hogan draws on recent empirical research into the cognitive underpinnings of identification to reveal how "the cognitive poetics of imagination" can give us insight into the workings of nationalism.
