“I define performative governance as the state’s theatrical deployment of visual, verbal, and gestural symbols to foster an impression of good governance before an audience of citizens”
- —Iza Ding[1]
Just as well this kind of thing could never happen in a corporate environment.
“Performative” is a voguish word, and if the learned author thinks she’s discovered something new — that administrators manage second-order derivatives and proxies of their political problems rather than engaging in the political problems themselves, she would do herself a favour by reading James C. Scott or Jane Jacobs — these ideas have been around for seventy or more years — but since its fashionable, and since it is bang-on the money, let”s go with it.
