Abstract

Embodied information researchers have described bodies as performative. The body forms an important information source for leisure pursuits such as running but bodies remain under- theorised as sources of information. This paper explores how performance theories can contribute new conceptualisations of embodied information practices. A review of information science literature was conducted to identity use of Goffman’s dramaturgical model or descriptions of bodies as performing. Embodied information is conceptualised through analysis of performance theory literature, focusing Goffman’s dramaturgical model. The strengths and limitations of Goffman’s dramaturgy are discussed using examples from embodied information literature. Dramaturgical metaphors, such frontstage and backstage, can explain how individuals perform identity in everyday interactions. Dramaturgical principles can deepen understanding of how bodies create and share embodied information. Goffman’s dramaturgical model can be used to address gaps in understanding about how embodied information is created and shared. The complex theoretical underpinnings of performance should be further examined to develop new conceptualisations of embodied information practices.
执行信息:探索具体化信息的概念化
具身信息研究者将身体描述为具有表演性的。身体是跑步等休闲活动的重要信息源,但身体作为信息源的理论仍然不足。本文探讨了绩效理论如何为具身信息实践提供新的概念。对信息科学文献进行了回顾,以确定使用戈夫曼的戏剧模型或身体描述作为表演。通过对表演理论文献的分析,以戈夫曼的戏剧模型为中心,对具身信息进行了概念化。本文以具身信息文学为例,讨论了高夫曼戏剧的优势和局限性。戏剧隐喻,如前台和后台,可以解释个人如何在日常互动中执行身份。戏剧原理可以加深对身体如何创造和分享具体化信息的理解。Goffman的戏剧模型可以用来解决关于具体信息是如何被创造和共享的理解上的差距。应进一步研究绩效的复杂理论基础,以发展具体信息实践的新概念。
