Definition

  • Performative writing is a methodology of communication research in which the form of the writing enacts the very academic argument the author seeks to propose—that is, the how of the research mirrors the what; the form communicates the thesis of the writing. This entry will discuss the central elements of performative writing and detail how this innovative writing form serves communication theory development and enables authors to show the utility of communication theory in practice.
