Call For Papers</b> for <i>Canadian Theatre Review</i> Issue
156 on “Archives” (due out Fall 2013)<br>
<br>
Edited by Kathryn Harvey (University of Guelph) and Jenn
Stephenson (Queen’s University)<br>
<br>
Talk about archives has become all the rage in recent years,
especially in the social sciences and humanities disciplines.
Within the realm of theatre history and performance, the topic is
also taking on greater profile. Witness the previous years’
“Tyranny of Documents” sessions at Canadian Association for
Theatre Research Conferences and the upcoming 2013 Conference
“Performance History Seminar” which look at the relationship
between documentary evidence and practice. Little, though, has
been written specifically on the issues pertaining to the unique
(and some not so unique) characteristics of performing arts
archives, the challenges of archivists working in them, and the
challenges of researchers using them.<br>
<br>
This CTR issue will address a diversity of both theoretical and
practical topics regarding performing arts archives. Suggested
topics include but are not limited to the following:<br>
• Theatre archives and new/social media (attracting new
audiences, developing new ways of teaching archival literacy)<br>
• Complexities of providing licensing rights of production
images, cast/individual photos, etc. for publication and broadcast
(copyright, Equity, donor restrictions)<br>
• Specific uses of archives by scholars and practitioners (for
studying dramaturgy, historical performances, theatre company
histories, approaches to lighting design, etc.)<br>
• Collaborations between and among theatre companies &
their archives, archives & museums, etc. for education and
outreach<br>
• Pedagogical issues regarding collaborations of archivists and
university faculty to bring students into theatre archives: What
are the expected learning outcomes? How does one teach archival
literacy through theatre archives? Why would one use archives to
teach about theatre?<br>
• Archives as theatre, or conversely, theatre in archives<br>
• Epistemological, hermeneutical, post-colonial, feminist,
queer, and other approaches to theatre historiography and the role
of archives<br>
<br>
Essentially if you have an idea, run it by us!<br>
<br>
Please keep in mind that we are looking for articles that tackle a
specific research question, so please try to stay away from
straight description of archives’ holdings and from case studies
with no or little analysis.<br>
<br>
Please send initial paper proposals of no more than 500 words,
along with a brief biography, to Kathryn Harvey at the University
of Guelph (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:kaharvey@uoguelph.ca">kaharvey@uoguelph.ca</a>). <b>Deadline
for submission is January 18, 2013. Papers will be due no later
than April 15, 2013.</b><br>
