The story\, or at least small parts of it\, is routinely told in books and articles in neuropsyc hology\, neurology\, history of psychology\, and\, increasingly\, textbo oks in general psychology and brain and behavior\, and the terms “Broca’ s area\,” “Broca’s region\,” and “Broca’s aphasia” are among the best kn own eponyms in medicine and the brain sciences. Many of these accounts\, however\, are\, more or less\, pro forma\, skipping over some important parts of the story and\, in my view\, mischaracterizing certain other p arts. In this talk\, I want to go more deeply into the historical record because the actual story is more interesting (and less straightforward) than the one usually told. I’ll begin with a brief account of Broca’s e arly life and education and of what led him to study the brain. I’ll the n describe the events leading to his discovery of left-hemisphere specia lization for speech and discuss how he handled exceptions and how he pro posed to explain cerebral lateralization. Finally\, have Broca’s hypothe ses about localization and lateralization of function proven to be corre ct? In the last part of my talk\, I’ll briefly summarize recent theory a nd research.

Relying on “documents” of creative work \, textual and musical\, that emerged in an unusually productive summer Chopin and Sand spent in the countryside\, I present\, in a first part\, an analysis of the emergence of two artworks in a blend of phenomenolog ical and formal perspectives. The archive I use is\, crucially\, that of handwritten materials\, which enable us to trace a creative process. Th e simultaneous emergence of two masterpieces of composition in related g enres (music and lyrical prose) begs the question of the role played by the environment in this creative process. Capitalizing on the “ecologica l” explanations current in creativity studies (explanations derived from neuroscience)\, I offer suggestions as to how recent scientific researc h on synaesthesia or on unconscious processes\, as well as models of bra in plasticity\, might help us analyze these exceptional creative experie nces. Meanwhile\, if these can be recast in terms of mind-brain/body\, t hen the question arises of how a material\, embodied practice of creatio n driven by a hand that applies pen to paper participates and intervenes in the short-of-miraculous production of two masterpieces of modern art .\nThis return to a graphological paradigm opens up\, in conclusion\, a set of questions about the value of a dialogue between literary/philosop hical approaches to the process of composition and those we owe to recen t advances in the neurosciences and cognitive sciences.\n\nSponsored by the Pyschoanalytic Studies Program Colloquium Series\; co-sponsored by t he Center for Mind\, Brain\, and Culture.

Held in conjunction with Laura Ot is’s and Krish Sathian’s graduate course\, “Images\, Metaphors\, and the Brain\,” this symposium will bring together three innovative writers (J im Grimsley\, Salman Rushdie\, and Joseph Skibell) with three leading ne uroscientists who do cutting-edge research on language (Anjan Chatterjee \, Seana Coulson\, David Kemmerer). The authors will read from their wor ks and offer insights into the creative processes underlying literary wr iting\, exchanging ideas with the scientists\, who will present recent f indings on the relevant brain mechanisms. Emory faculty\, students\, sta ff\, and community members are invited to attend and participate in the discussion. The symposium will take place from 9-5 in Cox Hall and is fr ee of charge.
