I see an author as a kind of expert, and wrote a paper about the risk avoidance seen in a novel. Generally speaking, an author sometimes sounds the alarm as an expert. For example, Luxun wrote a novel to help Chinese people from a mental disease called ma-ma-hu-hu, Ogai wrote historical novels to leave the universality after Emperor Meiji and General Maresuke Nogi died, and Thomas Mann wrote his novels and articles fearing that German development would stop in the first quarter-century of the 20th century.
The appreciation of micro research is directed to personal devise, while the macro research analyzes that the brain activity of an author is something specific when he is writing a novel. This is called a synergic metaphor. Thus, I devised three examples, Thomas Mann and fuzzy, Luxun and chaos and Ogai Mori and feelings.
1/ 2/ 3 are the process of acceptance reading, while 4 is the former and the latter of cognitive science, 5/ 6 ties the image together with heterogeneous C, 7 looks for the brain activity of an author, and 8 arrives at a synergic metaphor.
1 While analyzing each sentence, I pursue the intellectual property of the selected author. For example, I select a simple reading sample like writing style at the stage of acceptance, and look for heterogeneous C concerning the intellectual property at the stage of synergy. This is performed in steps 2 and 3.
2 I make a comparison table to get a comprehensive image.
3 I make a combination from the analysis of the text excerpt. For example, Thomas Mann is “irony and fuzzy” and Luxun is “ma-ma-fu-fu (leisurely) and memory” and Ogai Mori is “feeling and behavior”. If I couldn’t find any combination, I start over from step 1.
4 I confirm the former and the latter of cognitive process.
5 I consider the flow of the situation in the text, and divide the problem-solving scenario into resolved or unresolved.
6 The resolved scene arrives at heterogeneous C, then returns to the analytic image. The brain activity of an author is strong in a problem-solving scenario.
7 The theme is the risk avoidance and decision-making part which an expert a given area imagines. I will make a point of the risk avoidance in the presence of a problem (emergency landing, emergency medical care, stock market and earthquake disaster etc.) to connect to the generative image. I then consider the decision-making of an author from there.
8 I can make a synergic metaphor that is seen as the brain activity of an author. “Gordimer and motivation” is an ensemble of combinations based on the synergy of a text and the macro method considering the literature. The method incorporates the study of global scale and the shift of format of literary analysis.
