Constituting a new television genre, live broadcasts of “historic†events have become world rituals which, according to the authors, have the potential to transform societies even as they transfix viewers around the globe. The authors offer an ethnography of how these events are scripted, negotiated, performed, celebrated, shamanized, and reviewed.
