Performing in the 20th & 21st Century
"performance is a mode of language use, a way of speaking. [...] it is no longer necessary to begin with artful texts, identified on independent formal grounds and then reinjected into situations of use, [...] Rather, in terms of the approach being developed here,
performance becomes constitutive of the domain of verbal art as spoken communication" (Bauman 1975).
