The Archaeology of Liveness

Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Theatre.
This dissertation investigates the history of semantic changes that the concept and category of “liveness” had to undergo when it was pressed into service by scholars and professionals in Theatre Studies, Broadcast Studies and Performance Studies. It queries the oppositional relationship between “live” and “recorded;” it describes how, and under what circumstances “live” (as a time-based concept) counters prevailing theories about technologically-mediated forms of performance; and it explains why “live” (as a polar opposite of “technologically-mediated” performance) in theatre needs to abandoned.
