This document is the table of contents for a book titled "Embodied Cognition and Cinema" that explores how concepts from embodied cognition can help explain aspects of film and the film viewing experience. The book is divided into three parts: 1) Film form and embodied cognition - Examines how embodied cognition relates to film narrative forms, visual meaning, and film music. 2) Cinematic empathy and embodied simulation - Looks at how film narrative and styles can facilitate viewer empathy and simulation of characters' experiences. 3) From embodied meaning to abstract thought - Discusses how films use embodied metaphors to convey emotion, character perception, temporal concepts, and moral attitudes.

4. We had the experience but missed the meaning,
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a diferent form, beyond any meaning
We can assign to happiness.
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
