“…The image of people as passive spectators of democracy has resonances with critiques of immersive theatre practice, where 'the continual expression of preference can distract from, and thereby disable, questioning the system as a whole' (Frieze 2016, 5). The choice-making codes that scaffold many immersive dramaturgies can diminish participants' agency by erasing the space necessary for audiences to acquire a critical perspective (Mitra 2016). But as Gareth White states, 'To be immersed is to be surrounded, enveloped, and potentially annihilated, but it is also to be separate from that which immerses ' (2012, 228).…”

“…This is not to say as visitors we become immersed in this environment simply because we have the chance to wander through it. Royona Mitra has already shown the problems of conceptualizing immersion simply through audience mobility and choice (Mitra 2016).…”

In Sondra Perry's installation Typhoon Coming On (2018) a digitally manipulated seascape flows around London's Serpentine Sackler gallery. Morphing from a purple ocean to a surging tide of oily, bright beige liquid and accompanied by a soundtrack of distant wails and moans, these wall projections draw the gallery's visitors into the catastrophic seascape of a nineteenth-century abolitionist painting. Perry's video animates a part of J.M.W. Turner's Slavers Throwing

“…Rasa theory has been much discussed in the last few decades, from anthropological and religious studies perspectives and psychologists have also accepted it (Deutsch, 2021; Higgins, 2007; Lynch, 1990; Mitra, 2016; S.

There are more than 150 (grand and micro) theories of emotion. Even as European phenomenological perspectives do mention self and agency, the mainstream discourse on emotion in psychology is quite limited in presenting a coherent theory of affective process. A key aspect of Euro-American theories of emotion is that, these theories are topographically flat, thus, unable to provide mechanisms of transformation of emotion relevant for well-being. In this paper, a theory-based framework for emotional transformation through understanding Indian concepts in āyurveda, yoga sutras and the nātya is discussed. Second, the paper proposes that it is Śānta (the Indian conceptualisation of peace) alone, that permits a substantive possibility to a radical re-emotion or experiencing and articulating well-being. The concept for a radical re-emotion is called Bhāvanā, indicating the possibility of conscious and radical re-creation and re-imagination of affective relationships with objects, concepts, processes and people in the world, re-orienting from the isolated ‘re-appraisal’, ‘self-regulation and control’ of emotion as discussed in the mainstream paradigm. The paper contends that these culturally relevant models educate and inform global psychology theory and applied practice.
