ABSTRACT by Johannes Riis<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/h5>\n

What looks like, in the eyes of some, a truthful and imaginative style can appear, in the eyes of others, outdated and untruthful. As we consider acting styles, across periods and between genres, and norms for casting actors and representing specific groups, it is tempting to write off variation and changes as a reflection of taste and chance. Or, alternatively, we can try to develop a conceptual framework that considers three general principles underneath the changes and variations:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In appraising<\/span> acting style, the spectator looks for the service of a narrative purpose<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In appraising<\/span> acting style, the spectator exercises habits of the eye and ear<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. In appraising<\/span> acting style, the spectator is guided by <\/span>b<\/span>eliefs about intentions and implications of the representation<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In my talk, I will discuss some of the large-scale changes that happened in acting around the turn of the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century, in addition to a playful scene with James Gandolfini, from <\/span>The Sopranos<\/span><\/i>, and recent calls for diversity in casting. What they share, I will argue, is that they, on a closer viewing, reflect the principles, above, in a way that calls for a psychologically grounded framework. In particular, we can learn from psychologists\u2019 findings on intuitive and deliberate judgments, and a separation of distinct and indistinct expressiveness that let us examine narrative purposes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
