More about the book

Exploring the ethical implications of performativity, this book examines its influence across diverse fields such as economics, linguistics, and theology. It critiques the power of performative signs, linking their rise to historical concepts like idolatry and magic. By identifying the phenomenon's pervasive nature and situating it within a moral framework, the author aims to revive earlier ethical critiques relevant to contemporary discussions. This work provides a comprehensive analysis of how performative representation shapes both public discourse and personal identity.
