    Dal film interattivo al film enattivo

    No full text
    The contemporary cinematic spectator is postulated as active also because of the advent of digital media that allow to manipulate text content, as well as to take part in the development of the narrative through concrete decisions or transactions. The spectator becomes a co-author of the text, he interacts with it, and sometimes s/he is involved in a real performance or in a game of apparently mutual exchange. With so called 'enactive cinema' - inspired to the paradigm of embodied cognition and the enactive account of human experience -, there has been a further change: compared to traditional interactive cinema, enactive cinema makes the spectator's physiological responses and emotional experience affect the narrative in real time. This contribution offers an overview of the theoretical background of enactive cinema and critically discuss two case studies

    Il fotospazio sociale. Trasformazioni prossemiche nella fotografia digitale quotidiana

    The photospace is a physical and social territory generated by the behaviour of passersby that come across a photographic act in public urban spaces. Adopting an enactive approach to the media experience, the article analyses the results of a field research focused on the practice of everyday photography with digital devices in the city of Milan. As the outcome of an interaction between the body and the environment through the mediation of technology, the photospace challenges both classic proxemics and dramaturgy

    Schermi acquatici. Immersività, presenza, multisensorialità nella realtà virtuale subacquea

    No full text
    Rivoluzionando il rapporto classico fra spettatore cinematografico, schermo e spazio della sala, la realtà virtuale riformula la relazione fra corporeità, tecnologia e ambiente e offre esperienze immersive e multisensoriali per scopi educativi, curativi, sportivi o di intrattenimento. L’articolo propone l’analisi di alcuni recenti prototipi di realtà virtuale subacquea, che usano cioè l’elemento naturale dell’acqua (con la sua simbologia e le sue qualità estetiche) come ambientazione virtuale di esplorazioni marine o come sostanza materiale in cui immergere fisicamente lo spettatore. L’analisi consente di riflettere sulla natura corporea e multimodale dell’esperienza audiovisiva.Virtual Reality revolutionizes the classic relationship between the cinematic spectator, the screen and the film theatre, and reformulates the relationship between corporeality, technology and environment in order to offer immersive and multi-sensory experiences for educational, curative, sports and entertainment purposes. The article provides an analysis of some recent underwater virtual reality systems or prototypes that use the natural element of water (with its symbolism and its aesthetic qualities) as a virtual setting for marine explorations or as a material substance in which immerse the spectator physically. The analysis allows to reflect on the bodily and multisensory nature of the audiovisual experience

    Event Segmentation, comprensione narrativa ed enazione audiovisiva in True Detective

    No full text
    The film or TV series spectator tends to segment the narrative events on the basis of a “mental montage” that does not necessarily correspond to the audiovisual editing. The analysis of two (stylistically opposite) episodes of True Detective reveals the spectator’s natural tendency to compensate – directly or inversely – the intensity of audiovisual editing for the purpose of narrative understanding. At the same time, the analysis highlights the need to integrate an “enactive” approach to the Event Segmentation Theory – one that enhances the bodily nature of the filmic experience the embodied nature of audiovisual editing.Lo spettatore di un film o di una serie tv tende a segmentare gli eventi narrativi in base a un “montaggio mentale” che non necessariamente corrisponde al montaggio audiovisivo. L’analisi di due episodi stilisticamente opposti della serie televisiva True Detective rivela la tendenza naturale dello spettatore a compensare – direttamente o inversamente – l’intensità del montaggio al fine di assicurare la comprensione narrativa. Al contempo l’analisi fa emergere la necessità di integrare alla Event Segmentation Theory un approccio “enattivo” che la natura incorporata del montaggio e la matrice corporea dell’esperienza filmica

    A Neurofilmology of the Moving-Image Experience. Enactive Screens

    No full text
    Walking alongside an acrobat on a high wire suspended in mid-air; falling at breakneck speed towards a fatal impact with the ground; performing upside-down flips into the shoes of an astronaut drifting in the void... This book offers a journey without pause into the engaging adventure of contemporary film experience – a progressive abandonment of firm certainties and a drawing closer to the unfathomable. A journey in which we saw ourselves reflected in the characters that today’s cinema uses to engage us, above all through our corporeality.  Observing the contemporary film experience means attempting to study the attentional and emotional energy that traverses the ideal meeting ground between the film’s modalities of expression and the spectator’s modalities of reception and comprehension. The theoretical paradigm of Neurofilmology is a new interdisciplinary research program that observes the film experience by adopting an epistemological approach based on dialogue between film and media theory with both the experimental findings and the speculative tools of cognitive psychology and neurocognitive sciences. Neurofilmology embraces a methodological approach that combines the first-person observation typical of phenomenological philosophy and the attention to third-person inquiry typical of experimental psychology and behavioural neuroscience for film and media studies
