eng	Try Walking in My Shoes: On the Limitations of Empathetic Readings of Literature	This talk is a critical investigation into the claim that literatures’ cognitive value is rooted in how readers of literature are invited to “feel what it is like to…” It is argued that the so-called pretense theory is too restricted and only helpful in a few rather limited cases.
