Holbrook and Hirschman's (1982) pioneering work on the lived experience of consumption in the field of arts and entertainment was a catalyst for investigation of the active role of the audience alongside that of the artists. In this conceptual, paper, we show how audience performances can be positioned on a continuum ranging from applause to boos with each, at their extremes, having disruptive consequences for the performers and the performance. The study of extremes of the applauses/boos duet through a historical perspective followed by a presentation of recent situations allows us to illustrate how these exaggerations generate disorganization of the show and humiliation of the artists. Moreover, these exaggerations attract some spectators that attend to witness the performances of both the artists and their fellow audience members.

Abstract

Holbrook and Hirschman's (1982) pioneering work on the lived experience of consumption in the field of arts and entertainment was a catalyst for investigation of the active role of the audience alongside that of the artists. In this conceptual, paper, we show how audience performances can be positioned on a continuum ranging from applause to boos with each, at their extremes, having disruptive consequences for the performers and the performance. The study of extremes of the applauses/boos duet through a historical perspective followed by a presentation of recent situations allows us to illustrate how these exaggerations generate disorganization of the show and humiliation of the artists. Moreover, these exaggerations attract some spectators that attend to witness the performances of both the artists and their fellow audience members.
