What is the relationship between a state’s sovereignty and the recognition of its sovereignty by other states? This article argues that in critical circumstances, the recognition of state sovereignty is performative: recognition helps to bring sovereignty about, paradoxically because it appears merely to reflect it. I outline a performative mechanism of sovereignty, identifying the class of cases that it best explains and the social conditions under which it obtains. Sovereignty is particularly performative for independence movements and revolutionary regimes. And performative claims to sovereignty tend to be recognized when its performers are socially aligned with their audience. This requires a sociology of the agents that represent sovereignty externally, its diplomats, and the wider relations in which they are embedded. I illustrate this argument by analyzing the diplomacy of a revolutionary state, England between 1688 and 1713, in relation to a critical audience, France. Performative sovereignty has implications for the study of state formation and world politics, for theories of revolutionary and postcolonial states, and for the concept of performativity itself.

Scholars and activists have extensively critiqued HIV prevention programs in India for depoliticizing and biomedicalizing sexuality while reinforcing caste and class boundaries. However, scholarship has also noted how AIDS programs have offered opportunities for political and social mobilization for the sexually marginalized. Gowri Vijayakumar’s recent book At Risk is a noteworthy addition to other outstanding ethnographic accounts, such as Cecilia Van Hollen’s Birth in the Age of AIDS: Women, Reproduction, and HIV/AIDS in India (2013) and Chaitanya Lakkimsetti’s Legalizing Sex: Sexual Minorities, AIDS, and Citizenship in India (2020), focusing on the social and political implications of AIDS in India. The book argues that the AIDS program in India brought about “political reconfigurations” as it “temporarily transformed the terrain on which sex workers, sexual minorities, and transgender people engaged the state, both individually and collectively” (p. 2). The book shows that sites of HIV prevention not only reproduced notions of gendered respectability, reinforcing caste and class hierarchies, but they also emerged as sites of contestation wherein some of the most marginalized communities comprising sex workers, sexual minorities, and transgender persons demanded sociopolitical visibility and made citizenship claims on the state.
