Pour une conférence intitulée:

"How do psychological theories of emotion explain that fiction can elicit emotions?"
 

Résumé :

Starting from the observation that both real and fictional stimuli can cause emotions, the questions arise whether or not these two types of emotions (a) are different in nature (i.e., have different features), and (b) are caused by different underlying processes (and what these processes look like). I will tackle these questions from a psychological-theoretical perspective.I present an overview of four major psychological theories of emotion: appraisal theories, network theories, affect program theories, and constructivist theories. I discuss ways in which these theories define emotions, as well as the processes that they propose as being involved in emotion causation. After that I examine how these theories might fit emotions caused by fictional stimuli in their theories and how they would answer the above-mentioned questions.
