“…Given that children are practiced in using mental imagery to comprehend such make-believe sequences, it is plausible that they deploy and report on a similar strategy in making sense of fictional sequences in stories. Regardless of the reason, children's strong endorsement of mental imagery is in keeping with neuroscientific findings confirming that detailed descriptions in a narrative promote particularly strong visualizations (Brosch, 2018), and that imagining under authorial instruction is a core feature of the reading experience (Scarry, 1999).…”

“…While Gass is not the first to articulate the feeling of being "hooked," or "lost," in a book (Nell, 1988), his description vividly identifies the state of intense involvement and absorbed attention (Felski, 2008) that often accompanies an engaging narrative. Distinct from ordinary perception and "impervious to distractions from the outside world" (Greenblatt, 1996), these reading experiences "presuppose a dream-like state" (Scarry, 1999) and act as a departure from the reader's everyday surroundings.…”

“…Neuroscientists have explored the neuronal and cognitive-affective bases of literary reception (A. M. Jacobs, 2015), as well as the generation of mental images of narrative events (Kurby & Zacks, 2013). More broadly, scholars in cognitive literary studies have written about various aspects of reader engagement: the role of the imagination (Scarry, 1999), the cognitive and literary intersections of the imagination (Richardson, 2015), the theory of mind and fiction (Zunshine, 2012), the evocation of empathy (Keen, 2007), and readers' emotional attachment to fictional characters (Vermeule, 2010).…”

Story world absorption is a mental state in which a reader’s attention is captured by immersion in a story. Although there is extensive research on story world absorption in adults, there is very little research on story world absorption in children. This mixed-methods study investigated the mental state of story world absorption in 66 children ages 9–11 years old, asking how they experience that state. Motivated by the hypothesis that, despite differences in their reading frequency, most children can become absorbed by stories, we asked a diverse sample of readers to report on their reading experience. Although 9-year-old frequent readers reported greater overall absorption than 9-year-old occasional readers, 10- and 11-year-old readers reported similar levels of absorption, regardless of their reading frequency. Additionally, frequent and occasional readers across age groups were similar in the extent to which they differentially endorsed the four dimensions of the absorption experience: attention, transportation, emotional engagement, and mental imagery. Semistructured interviews conducted with a subset of the sample (18 children) provided additional information regarding the text types and features that are most likely to absorb child readers. Overall, the findings underline the possibility that both frequent and occasional child readers can become absorbed in a fictional world.

“…Menurut Guattari dan Stallabrass (dalam Han, 2017), seni kontemporer sering kali hanya berfungsi sebagai konsumsi artistik tanpa memiliki dimensi transenden atau etis yang mendalam. Hal ini berbeda dengan pandangan Scarry (2001), yang mengaitkan keindahan dengan keadilan etis, di mana seni seharusnya menjadi undangan menuju simetri yang diisi oleh kehadiran yang liyan. Dalam konteks ini, Simone Weil (dalam Rozelle-Stone, 2024) menekankan bahwa keindahan yang etis adalah yang memungkinkan manusia untuk menyerahkan posisi imajiner sebagai pusat segalanya, menciptakan ruang untuk pengalaman spiritual yang memperkaya dan mengubah.…”

Seni sering kali dipercayai sebagai media yang dapat melakukan katarsis atau pelepasan dan penyaluran emosi bagi berbagai kalangan usia karena dalam penciptaan karya seni. Sehingga, ekspresi emosi yang sedang dirasakan remaja dapat dituangkan secara ekspresif. Remaja dapat merasakan peran seni sebagai terapi atau yang biasanya disebut dengan art therapy.
