[Frameworks] researching

Can't think of any specifically cinematic text, but I suspect that there 
may be something that could be done here with mirror-neuron based 
simulation approaches to empathy. The (speculative) idea would be that 
the audience gets mutually in tune with each other through common 
responses to what's on screen. And whatever else may be going on that is 
the basis of the sense that one has of a surrounding audience. 
(Kubelka's original Invisible Cinema Anthology Film Archive theater 
would have been a great place to do comparative research on this.) 
Vittorio Galesse's writings would be a good place to start looking.
