CALL FOR PAPERS

[Linda Miles]

CALL FOR PAPERS
 
Theatre InSight, a journal publishing the work of emerging scholars
(graduate students and non-tenured faculty), seeks submissions about events
and issues related to EAST EUROPEAN THEATRE AND/OR PERFORMANCE.
 
POSSIBLE TOPICS MIGHT INCLUDE: Comparisons of pre- and post-1989 performance
practices; censorship; theoretical or aesthetic practices which are
particularly different from those of Western Europe or the U.S.; the affects
of commercialization and/or the end of USSR communism; specific directorial
practices, acting styles, training, rehearsal methods, dramaturgical
methods; audience studies; the representation of "The West" on East European
stages; etc.
 
SUBMISSIONS ON UNRELATED TOPICS WILL ALSO BE CONSIDERED.
 
FEATURE ARTICLES should be between 15 and 25 pages. Articles which focus on
theatre and performance are preferred over dramatic criticism.
Considerations of drama as literature should either lean heavily toward an
examination of the work within a specific historical/social context, and/or
include a consideration of the work in performance.
 
"IN PRODUCTION" ARTICLES are generally 12-20 pages and provide a subjective
account by someone directly involved in an alternative, innovative, or
otherwise noteworthy production or performance process.  The best "In
Production" submissions provide a critical/theoretical context for the
production/process examined.
 
"COLLECTIONS" ARTICLES are 5-10 pages and provide information about
particular archival or library holdings.
 
FEATURED INTERVIEWS should be 15-30 pages.  The subject(s) of the interview
should be prominent in the field and a brief introduction is usually needed
to contextualize the figure and her/his work.
 
PERFORMANCE REVIEWS are 3-8 pages and should briefly provide description but
focus mainly on analysis and criticism, providing an assessment of the work
within the context of the field.
 
 
SEND AN ABSTRACT A.S.A.P. BY E-MAIL OR U.S. MAIL
PRELIMINARY SUBMISSION DEADLINE WILL BE: August 15 (negotiable)
