Resumen de Philosophie et littérature: les fortunes du performatif
When Austin distinguished performative from constative utterances, he was trying to reintegrate in a philosophical reflection those aspects of language which are acts, and saw that language could always be seen as performative. His paradoxical literary offspring has reintegrated fiction to his analysis as precisely the proof of performativity because of linguistic utterances' repeatability (Derrida), or by the constitution of social norms and identities through performative and repeated utterances (Butler and genre studies).
