O możliwościach performatyki miasta
The city as performance

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the connection between performance art and urban studies. She observes that in present-day urban studies there has been a shift towards praxis. Rybicka attempts to answer how the turn towards performance has changed the way people think about the city. One symptomatic change she mentions is a modification of the language used to describe the city: it is no longer seen as a text but rather as a performance, manifested in numerous activities in public space, artistic and otherwise. The understanding of an essential category for this discipline – flânerie – has also undergone a change, and is now understood as simply drifting.
