performative theory of institutions
Definition
- This entry presents Barry Barnes's theory of social institutions, known as the self-referential model or sometimes as the performative model, and explains how it differs in important ways from similar accounts of self-reflexivity involved in constructing the social world. In everyday language, the word institution refers to things such as hospitals, prisons, banks, and universities.
