In the foreword of “Gender Trouble” in 1999, Judith Butler stated that there are certain difficulties in uncovering the concept of “performativity”.
Sometimes performativity needs to be understood in terms of speech, and in some cases performativity needs to be understood in terms of theatricality. However, an in-depth analysis of Butler’s texts reveals that the so-called theory of performativity has three planes of consideration: speech, theater, and from the perspective of norms of behavior.
Key words: performativity, speech, theatricality, norms of behavior.
