The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Performative

Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, July 15 2024

In philosophy, particularly in the context of language, a performative is an utterance that accomplishes an action by the very act of being spoken. The classic example provided by philosopher J.L. Austin, who coined this usage, is the phrase “I dub thee knight.” When said in the appropriate context, such as during a knighting ceremony by someone who has the authority (like a monarch), the utterance doesn’t just describe the action, it actually performs the action itself.

Outside of philosophical jargon, “performative” can also refer to actions that are done for show or as a signal to others, often highlighting a desire to impress or conform to expected social standards rather than embodying genuine intent. This usage is commonly found in discussions about social behavior where actions are performed to convey a certain image or message to an audience, rather than stemming from authentic personal conviction. In this sense, “performative” often carries a critical or skeptical connotation, questioning the sincerity behind the action.
