The ‘Liveness’ of Performance in the Age of Media Technology Rora Paek (Soongsil University) This research aims to investigate liveness discourse of media performances and explore the production and reception of recent experimental performances. These aims are based on the fact that ‘liveness’ has become a problematic issue in the areas of both performance studies and performance staging. The purpose of this research is drawn from the following two premises. First, it is inevitable to apply media or digital forms to contemporary performances. Second, our life experiences have been penetrated both implicitly and explicitly by mediatizations, for example media performances, documented performance productions, live broadcast programs, and live TV talk shows, all of which are forms of mixed media. These two assumptions are significant in the liveness theory of Philip Auslander, who first called attention to the ‘liveness’ of media forms in the field of performance discourse. While this research starts from the same assumptions, it raises questions about the liveness of media performances, and it also discusses the limitations that emerge in the production and reception of liveness. Over the course of a detailed exploration, the following three questions will be pursued: How can liveness be produced in relation to the audience’s life experience? Is it real liveness, or is it a simulacrum of liveness? Where can liveness be found if the liveness of performance is the audience’s desire and ideology? For specific investigation, this research will explore how liveness is produced and how the experiences and perceptions of the audience are presented in recently performed experimental productions such as , , and . Eventually, it is expected that this exploration will find another direction that establishes the ontology of performance and represents the diverse discourses of contemporary performances.

소개
국제언어인문학회는 '언어를 통한 인문학 연구'의 필요성에 동감하는 여러 전공분야 학자들의 뜻을 담고 있습니다. 언어에 초점을 맞추는 것은, 다양한 전공분야의 참여에서 생겨날 수 있는 '이질적 집합'의 상황을 극복하기 위한 장치입니다. 현재로서는 작은 불씨를 지핀 것에 불과합니다. 그러나 이렇게 일구어진 불꽃이 새로운 학풍의 바람결에 커다란 섬광으로 빛나게 될 날이 올 것을 우리는 확신합니다. 우리의 학회와 학술지는 인문학 불변의 가치와 시대적 사명을 인식하는 국내외의 학자들을 향해 활짝 개방되어 있습니다. 특정 전공의 범위를 넘어서서 철학, 문학, 언어학, 종교, 역사, 문화, 예술 등의 시각에서 언어의 본질을 토론할 기회가 될 것입니다.
