Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Immersion (or 'aesthetic illusion') has been defined as a mental state which re-centres the reader's consciousness in a fictional, textually created universe, making him or her witness an alternative world in a way similar to real life. This course investigates the eminent reader-centred phenomenon of immersion and analyses its conditioning factors, its formal and psychological characteristics and the particular uses it has been put to during the course of its long history. We will also take a look at works which refuse to be mimetic, opting instead for non-immersive, defamiliarizing strategies
