The Rhetoric of Emotion --Conclusion: Moving Viewers --Notes --Bibliography --IndexEveryone 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.Motion picture audiencesPsychologyMotion picturesUnited StatesElectronic books.Motion picture audiencesPsychology.Motion pictures302.23/43Plantinga Carl R772726MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464896203321Moving viewers1728416UNINA02321nam 2200493 450 991078829000332120150511011114.01-61146-319-X(CKB)2670000000614214(EBL)2038793(SSID)ssj0001482204(PQKBManifestationID)11830762(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001482204(PQKBWorkID)11508117(PQKB)11411232(MiAaPQ)EBC2038793(EXLCZ)99267000000061421420150513h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrJames Thomson's The Seasons, print culture, and visual interpretation, 1730-1842 /Sandro JungLanham, Maryland ;London, [England] :Lehigh University Press,2015.©20151 online resource (319 p.)Studies in Text and Print CultureIncludes index.Print version: Jung, Sandro.
