ABSTRACT

The production and operation of virtual idols is a cultural and economic problem, while the acceptance of fans to virtual idols is a problem of cognitive and narrative research. Although the virtual idol is a "fake" digital illusion, its narrative provides fans with a self-consistent world of possibilities. The cognitive diagram of the fans is combined with the possible world of the virtual idols, and then the integration of meaning and the transfer of emotion are completed through the mutual reference of the text. These texts break the virtual division and enter the lives of fans, create a circle culture around virtual idols. Virtual idols are actually created by humans, but they are largely treated as an independent actor. This study will analyze the narrative mode of virtual idols, and explore how fans have emotional sustenance on virtual idols from the perspective of cognitive narrative science.
