Departing from a brief review of ancient roots and 20th century pioneer works, we elaborate on the state and challenges of contemporary entertainment theory and research. This includes the need to develop a more explicit understanding of interrelationships among similar terms and concepts (e.g., presence and transportation), the need to reflect more explicitly on epistemological foundations of entertaiment theories (e.g., neo-behaviorism), and the need to reach back to past, even historical reasoning in communication that may be just as informative as the consideration of recent theoretical innovations from neigboring fields such as social psychology. Finally, we offer some reflections on programmatic perspectives for future entertainment theory, which should try to harmonize views from the social sciences and critical thinking, span cultural differences in entertainment processes, and keep track of the rapid technological progress of entertainment media"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Amusements $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a Amusements $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00808118 650 7 $a Mass media $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011275 700 1 $a Vorderer, Peter, $e editor. 700 1 $a Klimmt, Christoph, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t The Oxford handbook of entertainment theory $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2021. $z 9780190072230 $w (DLC) 2020027191 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B03B6840CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
