    Abstract

    My essay considers the relationship between a gesture and the emotion it conveys as a moment of narrative halt that has an analogical relation to the halt enabled by new forms of spectatorship. It explores this halt as the pause of emotion and the pause for thought. I will also examine how the star system produces an intrinsically “gestural” and “emotive” performance style.
