          Abstract

          Este ensayo propone la idea de que en la vida social hay acciones en dos modalidades: la de causalidad y la de "actos preformativos" articulados en la creación de la presencia. Éstos pueden hacer presentes realidades y experiencias vívidas para conmover, seducir, engañar, ilusionar, encantar, divertir, aterrorizar, además pueden inducir actos de reflexividad. Las performances gestan una permanente tensión entre autoridad -convención, tradición, reglas- y propiedades emergentes, entre forma y contingencia, ya que se refieren a un proceso en que los participantes completan, ejecutan o realizan algo; en ese proceso los ejecutantes recobran, recuerdan o inventan selectivamente. Por esto los actos performativo están articulados en las relaciones de poder.

          Translated abstract

          This article defends the idea that social acts are involved in two modalities: that of causality and that of performative acts. Such acts "create and make present realities that are vivid enough to beguile, amuse or terrify"; in addition they can induce intense acts of reflexivity. Thus performances develop a permanent tension between authority -convention, tradition, rules - and emergent properties, between form and contingency, the process through which the participants carry out or make something, recover, remember or invent selectively. Consequently, performative acts are articulated within power relationships.
