Performativity, Normativity and Law
Type de matériel :
37
The author aims to explore anew the connection between speech acts and the realm of law, and to avoid both a « normativist » approach of performativity and an ontological approach of speech acts as creating a « social reality ». The A. means to show how Austin’s theory of performative utterances is in fact a criticism of the mythology of an ontological impact of speech acts, and how the very idea of an infelicity of a speech act may help to redefine the connection between language and law.
