SOARES, Fabio Montalvão  and  KASTRUP, Virgínia. The Spectator's Experience: Reception, Audience or Emancipation?. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.3, pp. 965-985. ISSN 1808-4281.

The article proposes a discussion on the statute of the spectator's experience in cinema, based on the concept of intellectual emancipation formulated by Jacques Rancière (2008). From of the reception studies, was made a critique of problem of the public passivity, emphasizing the perspective of the emancipated spectator. To emphasize that the discussion about the experience is limited, in the context of these studies, to an public behavior analysis, inferred from audience ratings, the text draws attention to the fact that their procedural and embodied dimension (Varela, Thompson , & Rosch, 1991) is not considered, being the behavior, something of the order of effects, than of the experience itself. It also concludes that the studies on reception are not enough to address the problem of experience of viewer satisfactorily. Consequently, the emancipation arises as a possibility for research a conception of embodied experience, which should be the subject of research in future empirical studies.

Keywords : spectator; experience; emancipation; cinema.
