This paper analyses the so-called performative turn, observable in the American humanities, and discusses its characteristic properties. Attempt is made to answer the questions: why can we observe in the humanities of today an intensified interest in performances and performativity? and, why are performance and performativity important to investigation of the past? The authotress argues that the performative turn is indicative of a shift in the objective of investigating into the past: from an afterthought in view of looking for the truth into a proactive operation on the present, aiming at bringing about specific changes, as e.g. in the social-political reality.
