Introduction : Representation and Spectatorship in an Age of Excessive Visuality
Original language description
The paper explores the intricate relationship between representation and spectatorship within the evolving landscape of visual culture, particularly in the context of contemporary technological advancements and social media proliferation. The authors argue that the reciprocal nature of these concepts has been significantly influenced by the exponential growth of digital technologies, resulting in an era characterized by unprecedented "density, reach, and immediacy of the visual." The article delves into how this visual excess impacts cultural, social, and political dynamics, and how theatre and performance arts respond to and reflect these changes. Key discussions include the influence of neoliberal conditions, the omnipresence of surveillance, the impact of digital reproduction, and the role of documentary theatre in engaging with contemporary issues. Through critical examinations of works by scholars like Susan Bennett, Raymond Williams, and Janelle Reinelt, as well as practical examples from modern theatre, the authors provide a comprehensive analysis of how visuality shapes and is shaped by human activity and experience in the digital age.
