More Than a Turn: The Performative as the Foundation for Paradigm Shifts

Summary/Abstract: Małgorzata Sugiera believes that in addressing the topic of man's first contact with the other, science fiction literature is a lens that focuses the current understanding of the human condition and its limitations. The author presents the essence of the performative turn by comparing Stanisław Lem's novel Eden (1958) and Peter Watts' Blindsight (2006). She also draws from the definition of the performative from the school competing with Richard Schechner's performance studies, suggested by Diana Taylor in The Archive and the Repertoire. Taylor perceives the performative as an attribute of human activity which establishes itself as an object unto itself.
