Judith Butler has some influential pieces that talk about performative or performativity.
I see online lots of people seem to think there's no difference between "performance" and "performative".
So, in philosophy, what do theyean when they say performative?
This question is inspired by the university of Michigan's grad student union's announcement that it will strike this week. As noted in the university's response Michigan state law prohibits state employees from striking and GEO's contract with UofM (signed in April) has a clause that prohibits work stoppages.
Are strikes performed in violation of the law (state or otherwise) or a contract justified? Why or why not?
