– the scholar is often using culturally familiar forms of communication. Because no claims are made to The Truth, the audience can approach performance work not defensively, but with more openness to what is presented. The conditions are thus established for dialogic interchange. To be sure, performance pursuits may express a particular point of view, often passionately. Yet the very fact that the expression is performative informs the audience that the message is an artifice – crafted for the occasion. One may compare this with traditional empirical work, in which researchers do all they can to suppress their personal investments. While making declarations about the real and the good, performance work simultaneously removes the gloss ‘is true’. Performative pursuits continuously remind us that everything remains open to dialogue.
Much more can be said about the potentials inhering in the performative movement. As discussed, by using the arts to socially construct the world, new and exciting vistas of theory and research are opened up (see, for example, Rolling, 2014). And, because performative inquiry does not require that disciplines be defined in terms of pre-fixed objects (e.g. the mind, society, the family, the community), disciplinary boundaries can be crossed more easily. New research territories can also be created, as evidenced in the way performance researchers take up issues in post-humanism, and the new materialism (Barad, 2007; Bennett, 2010; Braidotti, 2013; Haraway, 2016). Increasingly, academic cultures are invited into mutual exploration with mixed-methods and research innovations encouraged. One may now envision a future in which concerns with the philosophical and aesthetic origins of research inquiry will be replaced with questions of how one's research practices can best serve one's purposes. Resistance to performative work will remain, but critical reflection is also healthy. At this point in time, however, the vistas of possibility are irresistibly inviting.
