The book uses the long-standing theatre metaphor to bring political spectators out into the open, finding that they can be politically powerful. Filling out the metaphor with theatre theory, the book also finds that the metaphor can produce a viable model of democratic politics that incorporates spectators in a positive, meaningful way.
Spectators in the Field of Politics explores the implications of bring political spectators out into the open, using a theater metaphor. This book finds that spectators are powerful in ways that are so far unaccountable. It is not the distinction between actors and spectators that is politically problematic, but the distinction between spectators and objects. Filling out the metaphor with theater theory produces a viable model of democratic politics that incorporates spectators in positive and meaningful ways, while providing an ethics to manage distance, provided the distinction between actors and spectators is maintained. This provides a significant challenge to participation theorists who want to turn spectators into actors.
