Event Description Isaac Ariail Reed, PhD, University of Virginia
What is performative power? Via a historical study of the early American republic, this paper considers performances of sovereignty as a form of state-making particularly suited to crisis, and as a route to legitimacy that relies on timing and exceptionality. This leads to broader reflections on power, performance, and the relationship between culture and political economy in social theory. |
