- Title
The Body of the Empathic Spectator.
- Authors
RUNCAN, MIRUNA
- Abstract
The paper will try to analyze, from a combined neurological, psychological and semiotic perspective, the relationship between the audiences' perception/ imagination/ immersion processes and the solitary spectator's physical reactions to performing arts. It is a work in progress, attempting to demonstrate that the conscious/subconscious dynamics of sequential interpretation and understanding (of any and each spectator) are founded on a more profound ground of personal experience, self-sensitivity and physicality. This nearly virgin territory of research has been explored, in the last decades, by neurological experiments and theories, but its mapping still remains to be done. This paper focuses only on the personal body experiences induced to the spectator in the processes of watching live performances or fictional or nonfictional movies.
