| Sumario: | This text is an account of the role of emotions and cognition in producing the aesthetics effects of film and television genres. It argues that film genres are mental structures which integrate sensations, emotions, and actions, activating the viewers body and mind. Using recent developments in neuroscience and cognitive science in combination with narrative theory the book provides an alternative account to that offered by pyschoanalysis explaining identification and the correlation of viewer reaction with specific film genres. The book concludes with an analysis of the emotional structures of comic fiction, metafiction, crime fiction, horror, and melodrama from a cognitive, neurophysiological and ecological point of view. |
