Is it possible today to understand current genres such as drama and
theater without considering the influence of television? Elizabeth
Klaver argues that television's dominance of the entertainment
industry demands a continual negotiation of subject position from
all other cultural forms and institutions. By examining plays that
incorporate televisual discourse--from cameras and monitors to
televisual style and structure--"Performing Television" probes the
turbulent relation contemporary drama has had to television and its
negotiations for identity in a postmodern media culture.
Klaver applies post-structuralist theories of subjectivity to
drama while ranging through Beckett's plays, National Hockey League
games, "The Tonight Show," gay and lesbian drama, minority drama,
avant-garde performance, and the topics of theatrical paranoia, the
mediatized Imaginary, and the spectatorial gaze.
