ABSTRACT
Thistext presents a few notes about themanner through which the Studies on Presence define and delimitthemselves from an epistemological point of view. It presentsthe university context of the research to which this perspectivebelongs and the self-referential mode of studying performativepractices. It also discusses presence in the work of performers andits relation to meaning in order to delimit a field ofproblematisation on the inadequacy of interpretation as the only wayfor having access to knowledge. We propose, from Michel Foucault andHans Ulrich Gumbrecht, other modes of research on performative practices.
