Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau: Lan Gwuhj Geimz, seminar #1: Performativity, Emotions and the Internet

As part of Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau’s artist commission with Open School East, He presents three online seminars about communication on the internet.

In the first seminar we explored the development of performativity (the idea that language can construct the things it describes) by looking at a range of texts on the subject by J.L Austin, Judith Butler, Eve Sedgwick and Sara Ahmed.
