John Austin's Performativity Concept Discussed
French philosopher John Austin's concept of performativity is being discussed, suggesting that economic theory shapes the world in its own image. This integration of practice into theory carries risks, as reality can sometimes violently assert itself against theorists. The discussion explores how the economy constantly performs.

“Austin fonde ainsi le concept de performativité. Vous m'avez saisi, vous m'avez compris, il y a le monde social et il y a la discipline. De ce point de vue là, on pourrait se dire que la théorie économique façonne donc le monde et le façonne à son image. C'est cette piste qui a suivi notre invité du jour en faisant entrer la pratique dans les cases de la théorie. L'économie performe en permanence.”
