The relationship of this topic to the idea of presence has to do with the way the presence of the performance persists after the event through its documentation.

Auslander's primary research interest is in performance, especially in relation to music, media, and technology. He has written on aesthetic and cultural performances as diverse as theatre, performance art, music, stand-up comedy, robotic performance, and courtroom procedures. He is the author of five books and editor or co-editor of two collections. His most recently published books are Performing Glam Rock: Gender and Theatricality in Popular Music (2006) and the second edition of Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture (2008). In addition to his work on performance, Auslander contributes art criticism regularly to ArtForum and other publications. He is also the editor of The Art Section: An Online Journal of Arts and Cultural Commentary.

While in Quebec City, Auslander, a member of the research group sponsoring his talk, will be reviewing grant applications for a government-sponsored research grant program.
