process of performation

is a process whereby socio-technical arrangements constitute ecological niches within and between which statements and models circulate as true or (close to true).

We can agree to call performation the process whereby socio-technical arrangements are enacted, to constitute so many ecological niches within and between which statements and models circulate and are true or at least enjoy a high degree of verisimilitude. This constantly renewed process of performation encompasses expression, self-fulfilling prophecies, prescription and performance.' (Callon p.25)
