...Keen does acknowledge “more affectively-charged narrative forms” including histories, but does not acknowledge journalism as a possible site for narrativity or experientiality—“the situated, embodied quality of readers’ engagement with stories” (Caracciolo, 2014, p. 4)....

Indeed, some of the most promising advances in research on the effects of narrative on the reader are those in cognitive neuroscience which are just beginning to explore a range of effects of narrative elements on readers. But before surveying some interesting recent findings and their possible connection to literary journalism, it is important to take a brief look at some historical scholarship on this topic. The effects of reading literary journalism have been a topic of much scholarly discussion from the 1970s onwards, but scholarship has primarily focused on the experience of the ideal, implied and/or interpellated reader.
