TI - Performative Process of Identity's Formation of Professional Wrestlers
AB - The article presents the theoretical assumptions of professional wrestling, its elements and history. It also cites considerations of identity and its performativity in sociology. The research conducted in the form of qualitative interviews deals with the process of forming performative identity among wrestlers. As a result of the analysis of the research, it was possible to create a typology of ways of creating a character used for performance in professional wrestling, describe the process of identity formation and determine the roles of third parties in it. The exploration and description of the phenomenon placed in the text made it possible to haracterize the profession of professional wrestler as a multiprofession.
