Performatividad en la academia: Una aproximación genealógica al concepto de escritura performativa y a su uso en el relato de la investigación basada en artes

Abstract

This article is an epistemological approach to the concept of performative writing, a narrative form considered here as technology to account for the results of an arts based research. The origin of this type of writing is placed in the reflections on the performative utterance of the philosopher John L. Austin and in the successive stress that his ideas have found in philosophy, sociology, anthropology and art. The article offers a genealogy of the concept and suggests answers to problematic questions in the field of artistic research such as, what is performativity? or what elements characterize performative writing and what role does it play in the context of arts-based research methodologies?
