TL;DR: The authors argue for a model of narrative-audience interactions that privileges immersion as affective and temporal entanglement in stories over the containment model, and use Le quattro volte, a 2010 film by Italian director Michelangelo Frammartino, to exemplify this alternative understanding of audiences' engagement with narrative.

Abstract: The language of “immersion” in a fictional text lends itself to a dualistic reading that is, at best, unwelcome when attempting to think about narrative experiences ecologically. In this article, I argue for a model of narrative-audience interactions that privileges immersion as affective and temporal entanglement in stories over the containment model. I use Le quattro volte, a 2010 film by Italian director Michelangelo Frammartino, to exemplify this alternative understanding of audiences’ engagement with narrative and discuss its ramifications for recent work at the intersection of narrative theory and ecocriticism.

The embodied mind
TL;DR: This paper considers Fonagy et al's concept of mentalization and contrasts aspects of this with aspects of Bion's model of the mind, and argues that although mentalization adds to the understanding of mind it has limitations; that it may tend to over-emphasize certain types of external interaction between infant and carer and under-emphasis internal psychobiological processes.

Participatory sense-making
TL;DR: The notion of sense-making in this realm becomes participatory sensemaking as discussed by the authors, which reframes the problem of social cognition as that of how meaning is generated and transformed in the interplay between the unfolding interaction process and the individuals engaged in it.
