What Role could Presence Play in the Practices of Academia? On the performativity of theory in the context of Performance Philosophy
The dialogue discusses the role presence could be permitted to play in academic situations of co-presence with others (in comparison to the importance of presence in artistic contexts). It ponders the extent to which conventional academic forms, quite apart from seeking to guarantee objectivity in theory, actually pre-determine, or in fact limit, the communicability of theoretical content. The conversation points to the need for a new dramaturgical attentiveness to the performativity of theory and calls for an innovative approach to the formats in which the questions and results concerning various fields in the humanities could be presented and negotiated more successfully. Resumo: O diálogo discute o papel desempenhado pela presença em situações acadêmicas de copresença com outras pessoas (em comparação com a importância da presença em contextos artísticos). Questiona a medida em que as formas acadêmicas convencionais, para além de buscar garantir a objetividade teórica, na verdade pré-determinam ou, de fato, limitam a transmissibilidade do conteúdo teórico. A conversa aponta para a necessidade de uma nova atenção dramatúrgica à performatividade da teoria, e apela por uma abordagem inovadora aos formatos como as perguntas e os resultados referentes aos diversos campos nas humanidades poderiam ser apresentados e negociados com maior sucesso. Résumé: Le dialogue thématise le rôle que pourrait jouer la présence dans des situations académiques de co-présence avec d’autres (par rapport à l’importance de la présence dans des contextes artistiques). Il s’interroge sur la mesure dans laquelle, au-delà d’idéalement garantir l’objectivité théorique, les formes académiques conventionnelles ont tendance à déterminer ou même à limiter réellement la transmissibilité de contenu théorique. La conversation souligne la nécessité d’une nouvelle approche dramaturgique par rapport à la performativité de la théorie et appelle à un développement de sensibilités pour de nouveaux formats alternatifs dans lesquels les résultats et les questions de divers domaines des sciences humaines pourraient être présentés et négociés avec plus de succès.

Destruction in the Performative
Cultural transformation tends to be described in one of two ways: either with reference to what comes about, is created or emerges in the process of change or with reference to what is destroyed or obscured in that process. Within a performative paradigm, that is, from a perspective which focuses on the manner in which social and cultural reality is constituted or brought about by human activity, theorists have, in recent years, tended to underline the productive aspects of transformation by emphasising the creative thrust of performative processes and events. In so doing, this perspective has tended to overlook the extent to which a certain destructive element may in fact be inherent to such performative processes. Drawing upon a range of historical and contemporary constellations of socio-cultural change and a variety of different types of events and activities, the articles in this volume describe different forms of destruction and their respective role in processes of transformation. Their shared aim is to explore the manner in which destructivity, such as the destabilisation and destruction of orders, subjects and bodies, can be grasped by concepts of performativity. In other words, to what extent may a certain destructive dynamic be inscribed within this very notion?.

Que Papel a Presença poderia Desempenhar nas Práticas Acadêmicas? Sobre a performatividade da teoria no contexto da Filosofia-Performance
O diálogo discute o papel desempenhado pela presença em situações acadêmicas de copresença com outras pessoas (em comparação com a importância da presença em contextos artísticos).

Introduction: Destruction in the Performative
[...]the concept refers back to John L. Austin's speech act theory and his analysis of the manner in which language can be shown to be not just simply a medium of human expression, not just used, that is, to describe an event or a reality that is external to it, but that its very utterance can bring about a transformation of reality (cf. [...]the concept relates to Judith Butler's notion of the performative constitution of (gender) subjectivity by means of ritualised linguistic iteration and culturally prescribed patterns of behaviour (e.g. Butler 1993).

Foreword & Acknowledgements
[...]first steps have been taken to investigate both the productive effectiveness of these various modes of action and phenomena, and the destructive dimension involved in all. [...]we are most grateful to Esther Roth and the editorial board at Rodopi for their helpful comments and the enthusiasm they have brought to this project.

Passivity at Work. A Conversation on an Element in the Philosophy of Giorgio Agamben
This text is based on a staged dialogue conceived by Alice Lagaay and Juliane Schiffers, which closed the conference ‘How not to speak’ (
Wie nicht sprechen
) at the Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin on 22 April. Critical comments and questions emerging from the discussion that took place on that day are reflected in ‘Voice Off’.
