JERADE, Miriam. Constitution and Exclusion. Performativity and Public Space in Hannah Arendt and Frantz Fanon. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.241, pp.45-66.  Epub Mar 19, 2021. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2020.241.76034.

The aim of this article is to show that language, even in its materiality, is constitutive of public space, understood not as a homogeneous space but as one modelled by exclusions and resistances that are also effects of speech. In order to do so, I will be using a certain notion of performativity as analyzed by Hannah Arendt inThe Human Conditionin connection to language and public space. I will then show how Frantz Fanon views public space as not homogeneous but one that performatively enacts exclusions through its compartmentalization.

Keywords : public space; performativity; Arendt; Fanon.
