Excellent- More about Postdigital Performances of Care: Technology & Pandemic
Covid-19 has been called a 'digital pandemic,' but this book reconsiders it as 'postdigital,' exploring tensions between disenchantment with digital technologies and reliance on online practice. It explores how performances and healthcare practices found proxies for direct touch and face-to-face encounters, deconstructing how care and resilience were spectacularized by political actors online. Case studies include internet memes, online films, performances of everyday resilience, and participatory theatre productions.

Covid-19 has been referred to as a 'digital pandemic,' but who might be left behind by this characterization? This timely book reevaluates the pandemic as 'postdigital,' exploring the tensions between a growing disenchantment with digital technologies and the increasing reliance on adapted modes of online practice during the lockdown in both performance-making and healthcare. Amidst the pandemic restrictions, a theatre emerged that was unable to showcase its face, instead adapting into various 'covid-safe remote forms of engagement,' including 'Zoom plays' and self-generating experiences sent by post. This book delves into the ways that performances and healthcare practices found proxies for direct touch and face-to-face encounters, deconstructing the way that care and resilience were sensationalized by political actors online.
Liam Jarvis and Karen Savage examine aspects of care in relation to technology, spectacle, and facilitation, and how new modes of delivery and the repurposing of theatre spaces displaced amidst the mass migration online have been enabling as well as controversial. The variety of case studies assessed includes internet memes, online films, performances of everyday resilience through social media, and participatory theatre productions, including Thaddeus Phillips' 'Zoom Motel,' Coneys' 'Telephone,' and Nightcaps' 'Handle with Care.'
