Experiential Spectatorship: Immersion, Participation, and Play During Times of Deep Mediatization de William W. Lewis

Experiential Spectatorship: Immersion, Participation, and Play During Times of Deep Mediatization: Audience Research

Autor William W. Lewis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 noi 2024
Experiential Spectatorship offers a lens for analyzing audience experience with(in) a variety of contemporary media. Using a broad-based perspective, this media includes participatory theatre, video games, digital simulations, social media platforms, alternate reality games, choose your own adventure narratives, interactive television, and a variety of other experiential performance events. Through a taxonomy that includes Immersion, Participation, Game Play, and Role Play the book guides the reader to understand the ways mediatization and technics brought about by digital technologies are changing the capacities and expectations of contemporary audiences. In their daily interactions and relations with their technologies, they become mediatized spectators. By reading these technologies' impacts on individual subjectivity prior to acts of spectatorship, one gains the tools to best describe how the spectator creates forms of relational exchange with their experential media.
This book prepares the reader to think in a digital manner so they can best recognize how performance and spectatorship in the twenty-first century are evolving to meet the needs of future waves of spectators brought up in a postdigital world.

Recenzii

'Experiential Spectatorship is a rich and timely contribution to performance studies, media theory, and digital culture. Lewis offers in-depth case studies that set the grounds for future research and reflection on the influences of mediatized culture on notions of spectatorship. Topics covered in this volume align with the pedagogical needs of many university courses that teach multimedia and new technology-laden contemporary performance practice. This makes the book an essential resource for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners interested in thinking about contemporary performance in a digital manner and the future of spectatorship in a postdigital world.'
Piotr Woycicki, Aberystwyth University, UK for Theatre Topics by Johns Hopkins University Press
'Experiential Spectatorship is most cogent when summarizing the milestones in scholarship and tech infrastructure that relate to each architecture of exchange. All chapters begin with an extensive review of several major theoretical perspectives
that have considered each technology vis-à-vis spectatorship as well as a historiography of the technology’s development.'
E.B Hunter, Theatre Survey, Volume 67, Number 1, January 2026 by Johns Hopkins University Press
'In connecting the theatrical experience to a highly influential mediatized world, Experiential Spectatorship crafts a persuasive snapshot of contemporary audience expectations, ulti-mately forecasting an ambiguous future as we look to the waves fast approaching our shore. Indeed, as Lewis gestures toward in his conclusion, the technics associated with generative AI remain somewhat mysterious as the technology finds unsteady purchase in the cultural milieu. How will its wave of mediatization shape our perception of reality and our expectations of media? How will theatre and performance respond? Although these pressing questions elude a definitive answer, this text provides theatre scholars interested in mediatization, participation, agency, and audience experience with trail markers and actionable strategies for navigating an ever-shifting intersection of technology and performance.'
Derek Manderson, Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
'In Experiential Spectatorship Lewis reminds us that it is important to first understand ‘the relationship between people and technologies before the act of spectating’ (54). We are then positioned to make sense of how the mediatised spectator ‘emerges’ from the techno-logical, before we can make sense of their experience. The monograph provides clear examples of the usefulness of each architecture as a framework for analysing spectators’ digital and mediatised experiences. While Lewis does not have the scope to broadly apply the model beyond his experience as a spectator, the theoretically robust framework will be useful to audience scholars. Moreover, the detailed theorisation of media philosophy and history will be useful for media and theatre scholars interested in spectators.'
Abbie Victoria Trott, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia for International Journal of Performance Arts and Digital Media
