ABSTRACT
This paper categorises key HCI literature that engages with performance theory or practice according to a taxonomy that puts the user at the centre of the analysis. This taxonomy reveals three strands of research that use performance to address HCI and interaction design at the most fundamental level. We use these strands of research to map out what we have identified as the emerging field of Performative Experience Design. This field, which lies between HCI and performance studies, presents an extraordinarily rich potential for the design of interactive systems.

On becoming a sociomaterial researcher: Exploring epistemological practices grounded in a relational, performative ontology
AbstractWhat is the role of the researcher in a world that is continuously enacted and reconfigured in sociomaterial practices, a world in which subject and object, structure and agency, body and mind, knower and known, are assumed to be ...
Highlights- The paper contributes to the development of epistemological practices available to draw upon for researchers assuming a sociomaterial approach.
