CFP: Theatre and > Performance Studies in English

21 July, 2020 | by SCUDD Administrator

*CFP – Theatre and Performance Studies in English*
>
>
>
> We invite contributions to a special issue entitled Theatre and
> Performance Studies in English, edited by Isabel Guerrero (UNED) and
> Verónica Rodríguez Morales (University of Reading), to be published in July
> 2021.
>
>
>
> Theatre and Performance Studies have made, little by little, their way
> into academia. The field is relatively new if compared to other disciplines
> in the Humanities, such as Literary or History Studies. Modern Theatre
> Studies did not appear until the early twentieth century, when the first
> studies on theatre historiography focused their attention on the
> reconstruction of past theatrical events. The theoretical field emerged at
> a very significant point in theatre history, as it coincided with the
> apparition of the theatre director and the avant-garde movements. During
> the twentieth century, the field broadened its scope to study all kinds of
> human performance – from that taking place on the stage to the study of
> human behaviour that involves some degree of performativity on different
> settings. Theatre and Performance Studies, therefore, are not limited to
> the study of the dramatic text or the actions carried out by a group of
> actors, but include life events such as circus, dance or opera, as well as
> performative events like parades, religious rituals or even TV realities.
> This special issue, thus, aims to contribute to this expansive field,
> welcoming articles that examine performative and theatrical events from
> different perspectives.
>
>
>
> The volume welcomes papers on the following topics: – Theatre and
> Performance: papers related to the blur of boundaries between theatre,
> performance, performativity in everyday life practices, performance and
> identity. – Performing Practices and Stage Forms: papers on acting,
> directing, theatre and performance historiography, performance-as-research,
> theatre architecture, scenography, music, dance, and other elements of the
> mise-en-scène and/or its audience reception. – Drama: critical studies on
> translation, adaptation, dramaturgy, linguistics or any aspect related to
> the textual component of theatre. – Theatre and Cultural Studies: papers
> related to anthropology, sociology, pedagogy as well as those on queer
> theatre, theatre and feminism, theatre and post-colonialism, intermediality
> in theatre, theatre and politics, theatre and health and theatre and
> crisis, among others. – Comparative Theatre: comparative studies bringing
> together different aspects of the topics above (i.e. adaptation of the
> dramatic text for performance, different productions of the same title,
> contextual analysis…).
>
>
>
> If you are interested in contributing an article, please send your working
> title and a short abstract (250 words) to Isabel Guerrero and Verónica
> Rodríguez Morales by September 15, 2020.
