Produktinformationen zu „Performance and Power (ePub)“
Performativity has emerged as a critical new idea across the
humanities and social sciences, from literary and cultural studies
to the study of gender and the philosophy of action. In this
volume, Jeffrey Alexander demonstrates how performance can reorient
our study of politics and society.
Alexander develops a cultural pragmatics that shifts cultural
sociology from texts to gestural meanings. Positioning social
performance between ritual and strategy, he lays out the elements
of social performance - from scripts to mise-en-scène, from
critical mediation to audience reception - and systematically
describes their tense interrelation. This is followed by a series
of empirically oriented studies that demonstrate how cultural
pragmatics transforms our approach to power.
Alexander brings his new theory of social performance to bear on
case studies that range from political to cultural power: Barack
Obama's electoral campaign, American failure in the Iraqi war, the
triumph of the Civil Rights Movement, terrorist violence on
September 11th, public intellectuals, material icons, and social
science itself.
This path-breaking work by one of the world's leading social
theorists will command a wide interdisciplinary readership.
