Philip Auslander Quotes

• To move from a discussion of the early relationship between theatre and television to an examination of the current situation of live performance is to confront the irony that whereas television initially sought to replicate and, implicitly, to replace live theatre, live performance itself has developed since that time toward the replication of the discourse of mediatization.

• If television once could be seen as ranking among a number of vehicles for conveying expression or information from which we could choose, we no longer have that choice: the televisual has become an intrinsic and determining element of our cultural formation.

• En el teatro, la presencia es la matriz del poder; el teatro posmoderno de resistencia debe, por tanto, tanto exponer la connivencia de la presencia con la autoridad como resistirse a dicha connivencia negándose a establecerse como el Otro carismático.

• We need to remain alert to what happens to the body when it is mediatised. Too often, the mediatised body is an anaesthetised body. I would be the last person to argue that the body signifies at some basic level that precedes or transcends its cultural inscriptions. Nevertheless, there is an ethical imperative not to conflate the body with its representations and mediations, but to remember that there is an actual body there somewhere, experiencing the consequences of what is being done to it.

• The dilemma of Brechtian performance is that, for all of Brecht's emphasis on rationality and the undermining of theatrical illusion, the actor must convincingly portray something that she is not.

• Es imposible decir que el arte en vivo goza de un estatus único en la era de la información: hay versiones del arte en vivo que siguen siendo principalmente fenómenos del mundo del arte, otras que atraen a públicos mucho más amplios. El festival Burning Man es un buen ejemplo de ello: un acontecimiento que presenta una performance que es en sí misma una performance, que participa simultáneamente de la mitología de la frontera, de un impulso contracultural y de la visibilidad cultural popular.
