Abstract

Introduction to the essay cluster Performativity as an AttitudePperspective. The guest editor recalls the Polish discussions on the relationship between theater studies and performance studies that have taken place since 2006. She emphasizes that in these discussions performativity was most often associated with theater/performance and human agency. In contrast, the articles that make up the cluster – following Karen Barad – focus on the agency of matter and more-than-human relations. Consequently, performativity is understood in them as a perspective and attitude in which responsibility and care for what happens to and around us are at the forefront.
