This edited volume focuses on the hypothesis that performativity is
not a property confined to certain specific human skills, or to
certain specific acts of language, nor an accidental enrichment due
to creative intelligence. Instead, the executive and motor
component of cognitive behavior should be considered an intrinsic
part of the physiological functioning of the mind, and as endowed
with self-generative power. Performativity, in this theoretical
context, can be defined as a constituent component of cognitive
processes. The material action allowing us to interact with reality
is both the means by which the subject knows the surrounding world
and one through which he experiments with the possibilities of his
body. This proposal is rooted in models now widely accepted in the
philosophy of mind and language; in fact, it focuses on a space of
awareness that is not in the individual, or outside it, but is
determined by the species-specific ways in which the body acts on
the world. This theoretical hypothesis will be pursued through the
latest interdisciplinary methodology typical of cognitive science,
that coincide with the five sections in which the book is
organized: Embodied, enactivist, philosophical approaches;
Aesthetics approaches; Naturalistic and evolutionary approaches;
Neuroscientific approaches; Linguistics approaches. This book is
intended for: linguists, philosophers, psychologists, cognitive
scientists, scholars of art and aesthetics, performing artists,
researchers in embodied cognition, especially enactivists and
students of the extended mind.
