Denna uppsats studerar liveness i nyhetsintervjuer mellan nyhetsankare och korrespondenter i direktsändning i SVT:s kvällssändningar av Aktuellt och Rapport. I uppsatsen studeras främst hur liveness frammanas i dessa intervjuer och om frammaningen påverkas av vilket kön och/eller intervjuroll intervjudeltagarna har. Uppsatsen använder sig av samtalsanalys som metod och utgår ifrån ett antal centrala begrepp som angriper materialet på tre olika nivåer, strukturell-, handlingssekvens- och detaljnivå. Teorier som finns med som utgångspunkt berör institutionella kontra vardagliga samtal, live two-way affiliated interviews, liveness samt autentiska samtal. Även samtalsanalys som teori samt begrepp som hör dit är centrala.

Vid studioinspelning av pop- och rockmusik bearbetas musiken ofta i efterhand. Det går att klippa i spåren, skapa loopar, lägga på instrumentspår i efterhand, lägga på effekter och mycket mer. Ett låtarrangemang kan lika gärna skapas vid mixningsprocessen i studion som i replokalen. Detta kan skapa en problematik när musiken sedan ska framföras på konsert. Vad gör man till exempel när en låt spelats in med åtta pålagda gitarrspår i studioversionen, men bandet bara har en gitarrist när den sedan ska framföras vid konsert? Jag har undersökt vilka problem och möjligheter som finns i ?översättningsprocessen? när studioinspelad musik arrangeras för livekonsert.
