ABSTRACT
The concluding chapter discusses the relationship between performance art and the issues inherent in the problems of the (in)communicability of social history. This chapter, supported by theories as diverse as the “improbability of communication” (Luhman), the “limited effects” of speeches (Foucault) and media communication (Wolf), the “unspeakable” of traumatic historical memories (Wittgenstein) help to understand the relations inherent in the “social dramas” (Turner) that articulate performance and performativity, ephemerality and cyclicality, archive and post-memory, transmission and reenactment, helping to explain the emergence of a new meta-hybrid discourse.
