Richard Schechner
theorist · 3 mentions across 1 reading
In this course
Richard Schechner is a theorist of ritual and performance whose work bridges the liminal space between real and constructed experience. His writing on ritual's future and the performative dimensions of culture appears throughout the course materials to ground discussions of how games, alternate realities, and algorithmic systems function as contemporary ritual structures that organize behavior and meaning-making. By invoking Schechner, the course positions AI systems and gaming mechanics not as purely technical phenomena but as performative technologies that enact and reinforce social orders in ways traditionally understood through theater and ritual studies.
