PerFormativity

- Art, Communication and Knowledge Formation

Performativityis a new interdisciplinary focus area at the Faculty of Humanities created to research the role of performativity in contemporary art, communication and knowledge formation. Through this research we aim to expand and challenge our understanding of the performative – of active intervention – in these fields. This focus area promotes interdisciplinarity, which consists on the meeting of practical work and theoretical reflexion.
