THE PERFORMATIVE MEANING OF THE "I"
2 approaches to make sense of individuality
A. descriptive approach
incomplete approach to individuality
bc it doesnt capture our diff personalities
there are assumptions:
ppl are fixed beings
can be described w/ fixed characteristics
B. performative approach
in a performance, ure claiming diff things
ur claim as it is
3a. i am a person
3b. i know im a person
3c. i know what im saying
3d. and what im saying is mine
and these are tru bc they can respond
they can defend self
performance- meaning in front of others
when they can defend self, there is accountability
part of a performative "I"
we recognize sth bc we know the idea of it
like the chair ex
we know it's a chair tho we havent seen all chairs
term "I" = subject & not object
owning up to your actions
"I did this"
first person
