Sommario/riassunto

Everyone knows the thrill of being transported by a film, but what is it that makes movie watching such a compelling emotional experience? In Moving Viewers, Carl Plantinga explores this question and the implications of its answer for aesthetics, the psychology of spectatorship, and the place of movies in culture. Through an in-depth discussion of mainstream Hollywood films, Plantinga investigates what he terms "the paradox of negative emotion" and the function of mainstream narratives as ritualistic fantasies. He describes the sensual nature of the movies and shows how film emotions are often elicited for rhetorical purposes. He uses cognitive science and philosophical aesthetics to demonstrate why cinema may deliver a similar emotional charge for diverse audiences.

Sommario/riassunto

Les études réunies ici améliorent considérablement notre connaissance des circuits économiques reliant les villes portuaires et les places commerciales françaises et espagnoles, en privilégiant l’analyse des démarches des acteurs sociaux dans la création des réseaux d’affaires. Elle soulignent l’importance de trois faits historiques majeurs : l’importance de la fourniture en métaux précieux avec un différentiel de valeur agissant comme un soutien durable du commerce, la multipolarisation croissante de ces échanges et l’interdépendance entre les performances économiques et les conflits politiques et militaires.
