    1 Prominent scholars who have dealt with the relation between performance and sociality include (but are not limited to)

    Victor Turner (performance, ritual, and social conict), Erving Goffman (performative dimensions of self-presentation and

    identity management), Richard Schechner (artistic performance as extended to other domains, e.g. politics, cultural ceremonies)

    and Richard Bauman (performative aspects of verbal art, e.g. poetics). For a more comprehensive discussion of these theorists,

    see States (1996) and Sawin (2002). Most denitely, some of these scholars have inuenced Judith Butlers and Jeffrey

    Alexanders work - for instance, Alexander adheres to Turner and Goffmans ideas in many ways, while Butler explicitly

    distances herself from Goffmans ideas of performative intentionality. I will return to some of these intellectual heritages, later

    on in my essay.

    4 I will return to this point about the intentionality, deliberateness andagency of performance later on in my discussion.

    Indeed, this is the main difference that persists between Alexander and Butlers models of social performativity.

    5Although most of her work centers around the social performativity of gender, I would agree with Valerie Hey that Butlers

    writings open up an important and exhilarating theoretical landscape and can be viewed more broadly as the linking [of] the

    social processes of subjective re/formation to the altering landscapes of the self made possible within communities within which

    we come to understand our place (Hey 2006: 439, 453). Hence, one can distill from Butlers work ongenderperformances

    moregeneral insightsof the specter of the performative as applied to a variety of social domains and interactions.

    6 Judith Butlers theoretical writings have been strongly inuenced by certain trends in contemporary (20th Century) French

    philosophical thought pertaining to the de-centering of the human/social subject, the problematization of humanism, and

    an impetus to critically interrogate the hegemonic nature of language and discourse (premised on Nietzschean ideas of a

    relativistic/linguistically-dependent notion of human truth and reason). Both Michel Foucaults ideas on subjection and/or

    subjectication in and through the circulation of social discourses, and Jacques Derridas notion of repeatability and re-iterability

    of social texts, feature very prominently in Butlers social-performative model.
