On May 6, 2020 CCS Director Jeffrey Alexander presented his work on “The Performativity of Objects” in front of over two-hundred participants worldwide in a zoom lecture hosted by our sister center the Bar-Ilan Center for Cultural Sociology (CCS-BIU), the Interdisciplinary Program for Hermeneutics and Cultural Studies, and the Department for Sociology and Anthropology at Bar-Ilan University.
This paper renews Jeff’s icon work for the first time in a decade. It presents the model he has been developing and brings in empirical discussions of design and art reviews.
