Description: Article Type: Essay Subject (See Also): Julian of Norwich, Mystic Waiting to be Indexed Award Note: Geographic Area: British Isles Century: 14- 15 Primary Evidence: Illustrations: Table: Abstract: Related Resources: "Victoria Blud’s “Making Up a Mind: ‘4E’ Cognition and the Medieval Subject” considers the usefulness of the 4E model (which, she explains, argues that “cognition is embodied, embedded, enacted, extended”) for understanding pre-modern thinking (163). Using the concept of the extended mind, which she notes is the most controversial of the four Es, Blud argues that Julian used her writing as a way of extending and distributing the cognitive process, in which she used her first written text, “a resource that is outside both her head and her body,” to produce her second, longer text."
