Performing the Digital: Performativity and Performance Studies in Digital Cultures

by Timon Beyes (Editor), Martina Leeker (Editor), Imanuel Schipper (Editor)

How is performativity shaped by digital media - and how do performance practices themselves reflect and alter techno-social configurations? Performing the Digital inquires into the technological terms and conditions of performance and performance studies and maps and theorizes the registers of performance at work in digital cultures. The contributions range from the performativity of algorithms and digital devices to the modulation of affect, atmospheres, and the body; from performing cities, protest, organization, and the economy to the scholarly performances of research.
