The book’s basic proposition is that the ubiquity and pervasiveness of digital media and their networked infrastructures profoundly influence the ways and styles in which performativity appears and is enacted. Contemporary technological apparatuses and media provoke new forms of ‘intra-action’ between what is usually consid- ered to be either human or machinic agency, to use Barad’s terminology of posthumanist performativity (Barad 2003). In this sense, digital cultures are performative cultures. They condition and are shaped by techno-social processes and agencies, and they afford new possi- bilities for performative practices and interventions. It follows that the study of performativity in its heterogeneous dimensions cannot afford to ignore the agen- tial forces and effects of digital technologies and their entanglements with human bodies. Accordingly, investigations of social, economic and political pro- cesses conducted in and across other disciplines have to reckon with the performativity of digital devices and algorithmic organizing. The book’s genesis and development – and, we hope, the discussions it will instigate – were there- fore informed by two guiding questions: How is performativity shaped by con- temporary technological conditions? And how do performative practices reflect and alter techno-social formations? In proposing answers to these questions, Performing the Digital offers a double contribution. First, we see the book as part of the wider ‘performative turn’ in the cultural and social sciences (Bachmann-Medick 2016; Thrift 2008), contributing to an understanding of how techno-social performativity – or per- haps a regime of digital performativity – effects the world we live in. More spe- cifically, this collection seeks to map and thus make visible the relations between
