{{Multiple issues| {{Unref|date=May 2023}} {{Original research|date=December 2023}} }} '''Performative writing''' is a form of [[post-modernist]] or [[avant-garde]] academic writing, often taking as its subject a work of visual art or [[performance art]]. It is heavily informed by [[critical theory]], but arises ultimately from [[linguistics|linguistic]] ideas around [[performative utterance]]s. The term is often applied to a [[bricolage]] of other writing styles. It is claimed to be politically radical, because it thus 'defies' literary conventions and traditions.
