Résumé

This article provides an articulation between the theoretical and conceptual implications of the embodied mind paradigm, the specific representational attributes of digital media, and why inquiry into computer-mediated communication – particularly, narrative – can and need to be expanded both from a production and reception standpoint in the face of advances in cognitive science research.
