> *Call For Papers* for /Canadian Theatre Review/ Issue 156 on 
> "Archives" (due out Fall 2013)
>
> Edited by Kathryn Harvey (University of Guelph) and Jenn Stephenson 
> (Queen's University)
>
> 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.
>
> 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:
> .    Theatre archives and new/social media (attracting new audiences, 
> developing new ways of teaching archival literacy)
> .    Complexities of providing licensing rights of production images, 
> cast/individual photos, etc. for publication and broadcast (copyright, 
> Equity, donor restrictions)
> .    Specific uses of archives by scholars and practitioners (for 
> studying dramaturgy, historical performances, theatre company 
> histories, approaches to lighting design, etc.)
> .    Collaborations between and among theatre companies & their 
> archives, archives & museums, etc. for education and outreach
> .    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?
> .    Archives as theatre, or conversely, theatre in archives
> .    Epistemological, hermeneutical, post-colonial, feminist, queer, 
> and other approaches to theatre historiography and the role of archives
>
> Essentially if you have an idea, run it by us!
>
> 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.
>
> Please send initial paper proposals of no more than 500 words, along 
> with a brief biography, to Kathryn Harvey at the University of Guelph 
> (kaharvey at uoguelph.ca <mailto:kaharvey at uoguelph.ca>). *Deadline for 
> submission is January 18, 2013. Papers will be due no later than April 
> 15, 2013.*
