  • There is a growing trend of the use of literary techniques for the popularization of scientific findings and theories. The book Il film delle emozioni (‘The movie of emotions’; Calabretta, 2007, second edition) makes an attempt at using a narrative structure for communicating the most recent scientific knowledge relative to the functioning of the brain emotional systems and to emotion management. The book structure is composite: is a digital miscellany, made up of a variety of materials (i.e., computer files): diary pages, sketches, e-mail exchanges, summaries of films, bits of the news, parts of film scripts, excerpts from scientific papers, jottings. This particular novel’s structure mixes the classical dramaturgical division in three acts with the chaotic features of our times. The book is a fragmented and modular combination of files. This original structure made up of short text pieces pasted together without an apparent order represents a metaphor of the nature of modern man’s work activity plunged into technologies, that prevent him from concentrate and work on the same task more than 4 minutes, before being interrupted by emails or cellular phone sms. A feature of the novel is that its structure is not causal, instead it is conceived and realized to convey the novel’s themes and some scientific findings and theories, whose in this paper some examples will be given.
