Abstract:

'Narrative Absorption' brings together research from the social sciences and
Humanities to solve a number of mysteries: Most of us will have had those
moments, of being totally absorbed in a book, a movie, or computer game.
Typically we do not have any idea about how we ended up in such a state. Nor
do we fully realize how we might have changed as we return for the fictional
worlds we have visited. The feeling of being absorbed is one of the most
illusive and transient feelings, but also one that motivates audiences to
spend considerable amounts of time in narrative worlds, and one that is
central to our understanding of the effects of narratives on beliefs and
behavior. Key specialists inform the reader of this book about the nature of
the peculiar state of consciousness during episodes of absorption, the
perception of absorption in history, the role of absorption in meaningful
experiences with narratives, the relation with related phenomena such as
suspense and identification, issues of measurement, and the practical
implications, for instance in education-entertainment.

Various fields have worked separately on topics of absorption, albeit using
different terminology and methods, but having reached a high level of
development and complexity in understanding absorption. Now is the time to
bring them together. This volume will be a point of reference for years to
come.
