John Jones @johnmjones Now up in our panel: @CateBlouke on live-tweeting as participatory theater #cwcon

7 Jun 2013
Jacques Ranciere @EmancipatedSpec Emancipation begins when we challenge the opposition between viewing and acting (13).

Verso 2009
Cate Blouke @CateBlouke Inviting live tweets grants the audience so much more agency. They can contribute. Reminds me of @EmancipatedSpec 's ideas

amy w @amelish It's only right. MT @mwidner: Next up, a paper on live-tweeting. Let's live-tweet it. @CateBlouke #b5 #cwcon

7 Jun 2013
Cate Blouke @CateBlouke @NecTheater – that's how I feel about inviting live tweets at confereneces – gets the audience energized & shows them their own performance.

7 Jun 2013
William Shakespeare @ShakeIt O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily do, not knowing what they do! (Much Ado About Nothing, Act IV, scene I)

London 1600
O. Balee Tuck @Rhet-angular @Rhetro-Actor but as academics are we being "paid" for our ideas or for being circus performers?!

7 Jun 2013
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor It's not like I get paid to present at conferences! So if I'm paying to be there, shouldn't I expect people to make it interesting/useful?

27 May 2012
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor @Rhet-angular maybe, but I have to pay conference registration. How different is that from buying a show ticket?

27 May 2012
Richard A. Lanham @AttnEconomy Wrappings matter. You should pay attention to them. They are more important than the content. And, in extreme cases… they may be the content (54).

U Chicago Press 2006
O. Balee Tuck @Rhet-angular @Rhetro-Actor but doesn't it then end up being about pizazz rather than actual content?

7 Jun 2013
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor @AttnEconomy – right! So presenters have to present their ideas interestingly in order for me to see how interesting they are!

27 May 2012
Richard A. Lanham @AttnEconomy the more you see that style matters more than substance, the more you see the vital role, the vitality, of substance (53).

U Chicago Press 2006
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate @Rhet-angular exactly! And I agree with @Rhetro-Actor – I'm not sure I owe anything to presenters, other than common courtesy.

7 Jun 2013
josh guild @wardellfranklin @wardellfranklin @ColeJocelyn That assumes that live tweeting is automatically distracting. Not always the case; this may b generational.

29 Sep 2012
O. Balee Tuck @Rhet-angular @Sophist-e-Kate – just like there are several conversations going on at once on this Twitter stream?

7 Jun 2013
josh guild @wardellfranklin @ColeJocelyn @jmjohnsophd do panel participants owe it to their colleagues to be fully "present"?

29 Sep 2012
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate Unlike publics – where we're all talking about the same thing/text – community of conferences means talking together about different things

7 Jun 2013
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor Why shouldn't I walk out of a panel if it's boring? I mean, I don't do that, but do I really *owe* the presenters my attention?

27 May 2012
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate So conferences are sometimes a way to bridge disciplines, but if we aren't attending the same panels, Twitter can still foster connections

7 Jun 2013
Richard A. Lanham @AttnEconomy Like the tourist economy that plays such a prominent role in it, an attention economy is irremediably and self-consciously dramatic (10).

U Chicago Press 2006
Diane Davis @RhetLaughter community reveals itself in the pause of indecision, in the instant that one gives oneself over to a between-space, the b/w of the *you* & the *I* (180).

S Illinois UP 2000
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate So the "community" that @CateBlouke is talking about is about coming together in our differences and forming connections across them

7 Jun 2013
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor I'm thinking about @AttnEconomy 's arguments. Onus seems to be on the presenter to make it interesting.

27 May 2012
Diane Davis @RhetLaughter 2/2-it is exposed in the commonality of our differences" (185).

S Illinois UP 2000
Diane Davis @RhetLaughter 1/2-Being-in-common is exposed precisely in the play of differences, the experience of loose ends that cannot (& *ought not*) be tied together

S Illinois UP 2000
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor @NecTheater – but who's responsibility is attention? The performer's or the audience's?

27 May 2012
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate Diane Davis talks about the problems of the way we use the term "community" a lot in @RhetLaughter

7 Jun 2013
Paul Woodruff @NecTheater The art of theater makes any part of the world a stage... if only the people around the new stage know how to give it their attention (4).

Oxford UP 2008
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate @Rhet-angular seems like "community" in the sense @CateBlouke 's using it is more immediate and less focused on a single artifact

7 Jun 2013
Michael Warner @PubCounterPub A public, however, unites strangers through participation alone, at least in theory. Strangers come into relationship by its means (75)

Zone Books 2005
O. Balee Tuck @Rhet-angular @Rhetorasaurus @PubCounterPub @CateBlouke So how are publics different from "communities"?

7 Jun 2013
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus @NecTheater I mean, I receive a certain "value" out of watching paternity testing episodes of Maury, but I doubt that's what you're talking about.

7 Jun 2013
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus @NecTheater – for certain values of "good"?

7 Jun 2013
Michael Warner @PubCounterPub The peculiar character of *a* public is that it is a space of discourse organized by discourse. It is self-creating and self-organized (68).

Zone Books 2005
Paul Woodruff @NecTheater 2/2-…and (in the best cases) making it actually good for them to watch, so that they receive value for the time they spend (18).

Oxford UP 2008
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate What would graduate school be these days if we hadn't started talking about ethnicity and sexual identity as performance?! @ArchiveRep

7 Jun 2013
Michael Warner @PubCounterPub the kind of public that comes into being only in relation to texts and their circulation (66).

Zone Books 2005
Paul Woodruff @NecTheater 1/2-making something worth watching = capturing people's attention, so that they think it is worth watching, ...

Oxford UP 2008
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus Thinking Michael Warner here - @PubCounterPub – publics invoked through textual circulation

7 Jun 2013
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus As @CateBlouke 's using the term, "community" doesn't seem to be the same as "public"

7 Jun 2013
Diana Taylor @ArchiveRep 3/3-To understand these *as* performance suggests that performance also functions as an epistemology (3).

Duke UP 2003
Diana Taylor @ArchiveRep 2/3-citizenship, gender, ethnicity, and sexual identity, for example, are rehearsed and performed daily in the public sphere.

Duke UP 2003
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus So @CateBlouke is pointing toward the difference between what we do at conferences and in our publications

7 Jun 2013
Diana Taylor @ArchiveRep 1/3-Performance also constitutes the methodological lens that enables scholars to analyze events *as* performance. Civic obedience, resistance, ...

Duke UP 2003
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate They're compelling shows, but "Oh, the misogyny!" I end up yelling at the TV.

7 Jun 2013
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate @Rhetro-Actor – but it's true of TV shows, too. I can't watch things like Mad Men & Breaking Bad by myself. I need people to vent with.

7 Jun 2013
Merideth Garcia @mgarcia Academic performances - conferences as live theater - means calls to tweet are invitations to participate. #b5 #cwcon

7 Jun 2013
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor I totally feel that sense of togetherness at concerts and especially stand-up comedy.

27 May 2012
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor RT @NecTheater: "Theater is immediate, its actions are present to participants & audience. & in theater you are part of a community of watchers"

27 May 2012
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus Am thinking about the distinctions between performance and recordings… How recordings never quite capture the event.

7 Jun 2013
Diana Taylor @ArchiveRep To say something *is* a performance amounts to an ontological affirmation, though a thoroughly localized one (3).

Duke UP 2003
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate @Rhetro-Actor – if my siblings are at all indicative, I'd say that's a totally fair assessment.

7 Jun 2013
Paul Woodruff @NecTheater Where there is a witness, there is theater (8).

Oxford UP 2008
Blake T. Cue @Rhetro-Actor @NecTheater, nice definition. When you put it like that, I guess even babysitting is a sort of theater…

27 May 2012
Paul Woodruff @NecTheater Theater is the art by which human beings make or find human action worth watching, in a measured time and place (18).

Oxford UP 2008
O. Balee Tuck @Rhet-angular @Sophist-e-Kate – I think there's a bit more to it than that, but yes, I suppose the nail polish has something to do with it.

7 Jun 2013
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate @GenderTrouble – so basically, I "am" female because I perform femininity. I do love my sparkly nail polish…

7 Jun 2013
Judith Butler @GenderTrouble 2/2-that identity is per formatively constituted by the very expressions that are said to be its results (33).

Routledge 1999
Judith Butler @GenderTrouble 1/2-There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender;

Routledge 1999
William Shakespeare @ShakeIt 2/2-But in ourselves, that we are underlings (Julius Caesar Act 1, scene 2).

London 1600
William Shakespeare @ShakeIt 1/2-Men at some time are masters of their fates; The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, ...

London 1600
Judith Butler @GenderTrouble whatever biological intractability sex appears to have, gender is culturally constructed... (9).

Routledge 1999
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate @GenderTrouble may be a tough read, but once you get what she's saying it's #amazing #feminist #work

7 Jun 2013
O. Balee Tuck @Rhet-angular @Rhetorasaurus - @readysteadybook has a decent run-down on post-structuralism, though http://preview.tinyurl.com/oy64pgo

7 Jun 2013
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus @Sophist-e-Kate seriously. Explanations of post-structuralism are often SO confusing: http://preview.tinyurl.com/olfuyrk

7 Jun 2013
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate I doubt I ever would have made sense of Butler or Derrida if it weren't for her class. Still iffy on what "post-structuralism" really means.

7 Jun 2013
Kate E. Cloub @Sophist-e-Kate My dissertation advisor has a sticker on her door that says: "Don't worry, I speak Derrida."

7 Jun 2013
Shana Hartman @shanavh Interesting to be encouraged to talk behind @cateblouke back when she's right in front of me. #cwcon #b5 #affordances #perceptions

7 Jun 2013
Bate U. Locke @Rhetorasaurus @wscottcheney So basically she's inviting people to talk about her behind her back? Nice.

7 Jun 2013
Christina LaVecchia @JalouxdelaLune interesting stuff on the ethics and ideologies of live-tweeting happening in #B5 at #cwcon, tweeps. #rhet13

7 Jun 2013
wscottcheney @wscottcheney #B5 #cwcon @CateBlouke: her presentation is part performance...with the backchannel moving behind her back.

7 Jun 2013
Michael Widner @mwidner Connections between live-tweeting and performance theory, theater and academic conferences, a form of theater. #b5 #cwcon @cateblouke

7 Jun 2013
William Shakespeare @ShakeIt All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players (As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII).
