Those who prefer not to appear

→ title smuggled from Simon Asencio who smuggled it from Judith Butler (chap.I): "Performativity characterizes first and foremost that characteristic of linguistic utterances that in the moment of making the utterance makes something happen or brings some phenomenon into being. ]. L. Austin is responsible for the term, but it has gone through many revisions and alterations, especially in the work of Jacques Derrida, Pierre Bourdieu, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, to name but a few. An utterance brings what it states into being (illocutionary) or makes a set of events happen as a consequence of the utterance being made (perlocutionary). Why would people be interested in this relatively obscure theory of speech acts? In the first instance, it seems, performativity is a way of naming a power language has to bring about a new situation or to set into motion a set of effects. “
Butler, Judith. in Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly, Chap. I "Gender politics and the Right to Appear", p. 55
