Textes performances

Abstract

Writing is an exercise in research—a search for a way of writing. It is not just about finding a new approach to research writing, but about a new way of thinking about and conducting research. The authors aim to show that performance writing creates a dance between different elements, producing a message. After an introduction to performance writing, its origins and intentions, they outline the ethical and political issues involved before considering what we can learn from adopting a communication approach to performance texts. Throughout the article, the authors adopt the styles and methods of two authors, Alphonso Lingis and Jacques Rancière, whose catalytic performance writing produces works that are much more than mere performance.
