The presence and genealogy of the terms ‘performativity’ and ‘performance art’ can be traced along several lines; they figure in reflections in philosophy, social science, and art history. Experiments of the theatrical avant-garde, ideas of the modern, and post-structuralist influences all co-shaped the language of performative art. The acceptance of performative strategies in culture and arts, and reflections across scientific disciplines, initiated a situation (analogous to the so-called turn towards language) which came to be called performative turn. This study broadens the discussion on performative art and performativity by the perspective of aesthetics. From among the categorical apparatus of philosophy, aesthetics, and the aesthetics of reception, the author identifies the elements of performance and subsequently interprets them as constitutive principles of performance.
