Cultural theory has taken a 'performative turn', shifting its focus from the textual nature of the world to how the social world is narrated, its subjects are subjected and its relations are ritually enacted.

It traces the implications of the concept, and assesses the critique that is emerging from a renewed interest in creativity.
