Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schechner sees the outcome of the 'ubiquitous cameras, the narrations and commentaries' that surround world events as Brechtian alienation. Brechtian alienation is a theatrical technique that aims to distance the audience from the action on stage, so that they can critically examine the play's themes and messages. Schechner believes that the constant bombardment of images and information about world events can have a similar effect, making it difficult for people to engage with the events in a meaningful way.
