Culture and Performance: The Challenge of Ethics, Politics and Feminist Theory - Thryft
Culture and Performance: The Challenge of Ethics, Politics and Feminist Theory - Thryft

Shaping social life through ethics, politics, feminism.

If you're drawn to the intersections of cultural narratives and societal rituals from a feminist perspective, "Culture and Performance" can illuminate your understanding of these complex dynamics. Vikki Bell deftly examines the concept of performativity, pushing you to consider how ethics and politics intermingle with gender and identity. It’s a thought-provocative read that will challenge and expand your understanding of social structures and their fluid nature.

Description

Cultural theory has taken a 'performative turn', shifting its focus from the textual nature of the world to how the social world is narrated, its subjects are subjected, and its relations are ritually enacted. The rise of performativity in cultural theory - spearheaded in many ways by feminist theory - has profound implications for the way we think about ethics and politics. Indeed, as it concerns all aspects of 'difference', it reshapes the ways we think about the continuities and interruptions of social life itself. Culture and Performance explores the development and direction of the notion of performativity. It interrogates the idea of subjectivity, the possibility of ethics, and beyond this, it explores new ways of thinking political imaginations and possibilities. It traces the implications of the concept and assesses the critique that is emerging from a renewed interest in creativity.
