Stuplimity creates an "open feeling" in the reader: "a condition of utter receptivity in which difference is perceived (and perhaps even 'felt') prior to its qualification or conceptualization."
-Ngai, p. 261
Could stuplimity offer one way to overcome Davis' objections to transport? Open feeling could create empathy on the part of the spectator for difference without "insisting on sameness as a criterion of worth." (Davis, Theatricality and Civil Society in Theatricality)
