Preferred term

performativity  

Definition(s)

  • Performativity is a neologism used to describe how speech, gesture, and other social actions create identity by means of their performance. This identity is not a fixed reality occurring only within oneself, but is also created and made real by means of the social gesture. [Source: Music in the Social and Behavioral Sciences: An Encyclopedia; Performativity]
