| Performative was originally used to describe daily languages which have the feature of constituting reality actions and illocutionary acts.After the turning researches of Western literature and philosophy theories,the perfomative theory began to be widely used for more fields of other humanities researches than linguistics,and perfomative theory has been translated into variety terms in different Chinese researching domains.Performative theory has evolved into many branches of theories in various forms in the Western academic circles after more than half a century.To a certain extent,performative and its related concepts have became one of the basic theories in Western cultural studies,by contrast,most domestic research on performative theory in China still stays within literature,performance theory,and gender theory.On the other hand there are only a handful of cases that interpret artistic phenomena by directly using performative theory.Based on the domestic and foreign literatures on performative theory,this paper sorts out some relatively constant concepts in the evolution of it,focuses on the pivotal factors in the realization of image performative researching by this way,and tries to find a feasible theoretical clue of performative from text to visual image.After inspecting these all,this paper combined with the perspective of performative to reinterpret the representative phenomenon of modern and contemporary art in Yunnan,which can inspect the applicability and feasibility of analysing the field of visual images and specific artistic phenomena by performative theory finally. |
