This book explores performance in everyday life through performative writing. It offers us an opportunity to examine how people act and react in society based on a constructivist view, which acknowledges multiple realities and truths. The book has several potential audiences as it can serve as a methods book for those who seek to study and write about performative writing as well as to all those who seek to understand human experiences from a different and non-traditional view.
