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. 606 $aMotion picture audiences$xPsychology 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States 610 $aamerican film. 610 $aaudience theory. 610 $acinema and film. 610 $acognitive science. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $adesires. 610 $aemotional experience. 610 $afilm criticism. 610 $afilm studies. 610 $afilm. 610 $ahollywood films. 610 $amainstream narratives. 610 $amedia studies. 610 $amovie criticism. 610 $amovie studies. 610 $amovie watching. 610 $amovies and emotions. 610 $amovies. 610 $amoving viewers. 610 $anegative emotions. 610 $aphilosophical aesthetics. 610 $apleasures. 610 $apsychology of spectatorship. 610 $aritualistic fantasy. 610 $asensual films. 610 $aspectators. 610 $asympathetic narratives. 610 $asynesthesia. 610 $athe paradox of negative emotion. 610 $awatching a movie. 615 0$aMotion picture audiences$xPsychology. 615 0$aMotion pictures 676 $a302.23/43 700 $aPlantinga$b Carl R$0772726 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788998403321 996 $aMoving viewers$91728416 997 $aUNINA
