Call for papers
This is a call for papers for a new, peer-refereed electronic journal, 
MOFA, to be launched in autumn 2007 by IATR, the Israeli Association of 
Theatre Research. MOFA ("performance" in Hebrew) will be devoted to the 
publication of refereed articles in English, covering all areas of the 
Performing Arts. It will be issued by IATR, the association of 
researchers of theatre and performance from all Higher Education 
Institutes in Israel which grant academic degrees in theatre. In 
accordance with IATR's agenda, MOFA , as its written organ, will aspire 
to artistic and academic excellence. It will be a vehicle of expression 
for all artists, creators and academics, representing the range of 
affiliations and concerns embodied in the performing arts and their 
research. As an international publication, it will give platform to 
articles from around the world, with a special interest in articles 
that build bridges between artists and researchers of art and culture 
in the troubled area where it is published. We will regard as one of 
our major tasks the enhancement of dialogue, joint projects, and 
discussions that further the prospects for peace and mutual 
understanding between individuals, communities and peoples; while 
respecting alterity and multi-vocal approaches to performing arts and 
culture, and what they represent in and for humanity. The advisory 
board already committed to accompany the new publication (please see 
above), will help assure that this new publication maintains high 
standards. We welcome all local and international theatre and 
performance scholars and practitioners and urge you to contribute the 
fruits of your work to our new magazine. Submission deadline for the 
first issue (due September 2007) is: May 15th, 2007. Please address all 
queries, and submit papers, in electronic version, edited according to 
MLA style sheet, 2003 version, to mofaed at gmail.com
