Abstract

This essay develops an autoethnographic reflection on the virtual modes of interaction and relation instituted by live online events, used as a performative resource, during the Coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, it aims to build intersections between an economy of dis/attention and the narcissism of the cyberspace, with the intention of instituting a basis for the analysis of the live performative event in the virtual context. For that purpose, it reports to the performance BORN TO BE NA LIVE! – selfishcamera (2021), by Estela Lapponi, as a case study. From an investigation of the author’s espectatorial experiences in live online events, interrelations between the impact of cyberculture in the production and reception of performance in the pandemic context are woven. Performative writing strategies are equally implemented as a tool to approach the phenomenic aspects of the aesthetic experience in question. Online performance has led to the transmutation of the house into a territory of performance and, in this specific case, to the reappropriation of the domestic domain via the performative act as an exercise for the insubmission of the female body.
