This presentation introduces an ongoing PhD research about the application of immersive digital narratives to non-fiction subjects. Relying on Ryan’s theoretical framing, the presentation examines the potential of immersion to engage audiences of nonfiction narratives. The proposed case study focuses on a web-documentary. The study is part in a process towards developing a taxonomy of immersive digital narratives to be applied to a broader corpus of research.
Based on Ryan’s poetics of immersion, the presentation examines said web-documentary’s narrative structure in order to determine how the three varieties of immersion, namely spatial, temporal and emotional, can be used to promote an immersive state in a nonfiction context.
