Performance of Value
Keywords:
Theory of Value, Performance, Artistic Criticism, Economics of Art, Performing ApparatusAbstract
The text presents the notions of performance and value as categories which have consolidated themselves in the contemporary social imagination and which subjugate most human relationships, whether artistic, merchant, friendly, ethical or loving. It questions how the valuation process manifests itself through the notion of performance at the same time that performance has become a category and a tool for measuring value. Thus, the article questions the cyclical crises of neo-liberal capitalism under the effects of its excess, Greek hubris, as well as on the substance and form of value that are both subordinated to economic references and social behaviors supported by the paradigms of law. Finally the text explores whether going beyond the form - afformance or paraformance - it is possible to thwart the mechanisms of performance of the value.Downloads
