Logic of Montage

TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel expressive form called 'montage' based on the 'Effect of Contradictory Structure' to represent emotional states, integrating concepts like intensity and overlapping structures within a theoretical framework.

Contribution

It proposes a new expressive model for emotions using montage and effects, expanding on existing theories with a formal framework and illustrative example.

Findings

Montage allows overlapping emotional structures.

The model incorporates intensity as a key element.

Demonstrated with an educational progression example.

Abstract

In expressing emotions, as an expression form separate from natural language, we propose an alternative form that complements natural language, acting as a proxy or window for emotional states. First, we set up an expression form "Effect of Contradictory Structure." "Effect of Contradictory Structure" is not static but dynamic. Effect in "Effect of Contradictory Structure" is unpleasant or pleasant, and the orientation to avoid that unpleasantness is considered pseudo-expression of will. Second, "Effect of Contradictory Structure" can be overlapped with each other. This overlapping operation is called "montage." A broader "Structure" that includes related "Effect of Contradictory Structure" and "Effect of Structure" are set up. Montage produces "Effect of Structure". In montage, it is necessary to set something like "strength," so we adopted Deleuze and Deleuze/Guattari's word "intensity" and set it as an element of our model. We set up a general theoretical framework - Word Import Between Systems (Models) and justified the import of "intensity" through Austin's use of the word "force." "Effect of Structure" process is demonstrated using the example of proceeding to the next level of education.
