Focusing on the ethical implications of performativity, this book critiques how performative signs influence various fields, including economics and personal identity. It explores the rise of performative representation across disciplines, linking it to historical concepts like idolatry and usury. By analyzing the moral dimensions of these representations, the author aims to revive earlier ethical critiques, suggesting their relevance in today's postmodern context. This comprehensive examination sheds light on the interconnectedness of representation and ethics in contemporary society.
