Meeting of Research Area 3: Cultural Transformation & Performativity Studies (Subgroup)

RA 3-subgroup meeting „Reception and Performativity“ In this subgroup meeting of RA 3 we want to discuss various conceptions of per-formativity of the audience in a broader sense (reader – beholder – auditor) and de-velop a new project idea on the connection between reception and performativity. Therefore, the first members of our subgroup prepared some short impulse presen-tations, including their own conception of performativity as a theoretical framework and an example out of their present research projects. For general preparation, two texts (one by Austin and one by Butler) will be circulated to all participants. Every-one who is interested in this topic is very welcome to join our meeting!
