Abstract

The paper intends to explore the possible contributions of speculative pragmatism to the sociology of art, by reflecting on the controversies and resolutions that cross different actors and social practices when before the performance art and its modes of propagation. To do so, I will seek, on the one hand, from a dialogue with speculative pragmatism, to characterize the main aspects that constitute the performative experience. And on the other hand, to examine how this artistic experience challenges thinking about art, and specifically the sociology of art, while also mobilizing new developments for social theory.
