Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture is a groundbreaking book that addresses the critical question of the status of live performance in a culture dominated by mass media and digital technologies. Since its publication, Philip Auslander's work has helped to reshape the field of study, offering insightful perspectives on media culture and suggesting that media technology has significantly impacted the authenticity and vitality of live events. In this updated edition, the author delves into the impact of the internet, as well as cultural, social, and legal developments, while also addressing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The book challenges the notion that live performance holds a high cultural status and explores the complex dynamics between performance and media. It examines specific instances of live performance, including theatre, music, sports, and courtroom testimony, to highlight the ways in which media technology has transformed the experience of live events. Auslander argues that many live events are now scarcely live, as they are heavily mediated through digital technologies, which often detract from the immediacy and spontaneity of the performance.
Through its comprehensive analysis, Liveness offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of performance and the role of media in shaping it. It prompts readers to consider the implications of media technology on the artistic dilemma of what live performance can mean to us in the contemporary world. The book is an essential read for all students and scholars of performance-based courses, as it provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of this crucial topic.
