Theories of performativity have garnered considerable attention
within the social sciences and humanities over the past two
decades. At the same time, there has also been a growing
recognition that the social production of space is fundamental to
assertions of political authority and the practices of everyday
life. However, comparatively little scholarship has explored the
full implications that arise from the confluence of these two
streams of social and political thought. This is the first
book-length, edited collection devoted explicitly to showcasing
geographical scholarship on the spatial politics of performativity.
It offers a timely intervention within the field of critical human
geography by exploring the performativity of political spaces and
the spatiality of performative politics. Through a series of
geographical case studies, the contributors to this volume consider
the ways in which a performative conception of the "political"
might reshape our understanding of sovereignty, political
subjectification, and the production of social space. Marking the
20th anniversary of the publication of Judith Butler's classic,
Bodies That Matter (1993), this edited volume brings together a
range of contemporary geographical works that draw exciting new
connections between performativity, space, and politics.
