This paper considers epistemological implications of the concept\udof performative, starting from the elaborate conception provided by Judith\udButler’s theories. The primary postulate of this work is that various interpretations\udof the performative, with their semiotic shifting from the notions of\udtruth-evaluability and the descriptive nature of meaning, form a line of abandoning\udtraditional epistemological distinction between subject and object.\udThrough other semiotic concepts which will be presented and analysed, this\udline reveals the key epistemological issues in the light of semiology, while\udJudith Butler’s concept of performativity is viewed as a possible outcome of\udthis course of semiology of knowledge, resulting in final transcending of the\udcategory of subject
