The argument challenges the trust placed in linguistic structures to mirror an underlying world of substances and attributes, and instead reframes inquiry around discursive practices as performative doings. By shifting from reflection to diffraction, it links social and scientific domains through “exteriority within,” emphasizing ontology, materiality, and agency as enacted in ongoing intra-activity.","cbCaiaxP3xCIpAJl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaxP3xCIpAJl","pdf",12254291,1,30,"English","en","# Posthumanist Performativity\n## Language, discourse, and the limits of representational power\n## From representationalism to performativity","[{\"question\":\"Why does the text argue that language has been granted too much power?\",\"answer\":\"It challenges the belief that we have direct access to cultural representations and their contents through language.
