I highly recommend it to anyone whos interested in mediaBy Susan KI bought this book on the recommendation of a professor of mine; and it ended up being one of the foundational texts for my MA thesis! For an academic book; its surprisingly accessible. Auslander makes a solid argument; and uses examples that most people (academics or not) will be able to understand and relate to. I highly recommend it to anyone whos interested in media; performance; etc.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Liveness/Performance/Media Studies Must!By Lets Get ThoughtfulThis is still the go-to performance studies text for thinking through issues of liveness vs. mediatization. Auslander explores how the concept of liveness is in fact a culturally and historically specific concept that only came into existence once recording technology was invented. While the main case study is theatrical performance; Auslander also includes interrogations of rock concerts and even court proceedings.His main claim revolves around the following suggestion: though theatre once influenced technologized media such as television (affecting the way early TV was formatted and advertised to viewers); it has since lost the battle for cultural relevance. Now the theatre adopts techniques common to television; cinema; and the internet; which in turn lessens the perceived differences between live and mediatized performance. This causes him to question "whether there really are clear-cut ontological distinctions between live forms and mediatized ones" (7). This is an exciting and somewhat audacious claim; and one that many scholars since have productively taken up and/or argued against.One does not necessarily have to agree with Auslander to recognize the importance of his meditation. This text is well worth the read for anyone studying or just thinking through issues of live performance in a media-dominated world.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Liveness Brings Performance Studies to LifeBy T CLiveness; thats the word.
