- W2760345181 abstract "This thesis is concerned with how fans experience, create meaning from, andcontribute to the creation of a spectacle. Existing theorizations of spectacle arelimited and often undifferentiated. Furthermore, there is little knowledge of howan event becomes a spectacle.This research addresses these gaps. In particular, itaims to develop a better understanding of the concept of spectacle and process ofspectacularization in the context of a rock music event. It investigates thecontribution of the spectators to the creation of spectacle, arguing that thespectators of U2’s ‘360°’ tour (2009W2011) as human agents are more than passiveconsumers of commercial entertainment. A comprehensive theoretical framework,drawing on the concepts of community, identity and power, helps to addressquestions of belonging and identity, embodied experiences and politics.Adopting a social constructionist philosophical position, the research draws on ablend of netnography, ethnography and critical sociology. Rich qualitative datawere collected in three phases, including preliminary online research of selectedU2W related websites, in depth semi structured interviews with 26 fans, and U2’sShow director, and a qualitative content analysis of documentary material. Threeoverarching, partly overlapping and prominent themes emerged from theinterview data: community and identity, enchantment, and politics. Thematicanalyses of the findings revealed that U2’s concerts gave individuals a sense ofbelonging to a global community of fans. They also provided an enchanting, liminalspace, which offered transcendent experiences and increased fans’ awareness ofcertain socio political issues, although this was highly regulated andchoreographed. Despite the temporary and episodic nature of U2’s shows, thecommunity was real for many of the fans, and was perpetuated online. Thisresearch contributes to re defining an re theorizing the spectacle in the contextof rock music events. Consequently, any contemporary attempts to define modernspectacles in the context of rock music events need to include the notions ofcommunity, enchantment, and politics, and account for visual, artistic, spiritual andspatial aspects as well as scale." @default.
