The hypothesis I formulate is that the performances are works of art that, by causing interferences in the conceptual application, encourage an imaginative activity that projects human limits and possibilities – including those in the use of concepts. This would happen because in the experience with the performances we are influenced by a sort of ‘aesthetic reflexivity’: namely, <em>acknowledging the human </em>– since we are human beings – we are not always able to appeal to the right concepts.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Rivista Italiana di Filosofia del Linguaggio}, author={Dal Sasso, Davide}, year={2022}, month={Dec.} }
