Arab Stages

Arab Stages is devoted to broadening international awareness and understanding of the theatre and performance cultures of the Arab-Islamic world and of its diaspora. The journal does not seek to be exclusive nor to promote any nationalist or religion-based agenda. In strictly geographical and political terms, the journal will be devoted to theatre and performance material from the member states of the League of Arab States, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, but also diasporic literature from around the globe created by former residents of those states or their descendants. Moreover, both the operative adjectives Arab and Islamic should be understood here to demarcate, primarily, a general cultural area of scholarly exploration and negotiation. Investigations of material from the many non-Arab and non-Muslim communities located within the Arab/Muslim world are welcomed by the journal.

Careopsis: Journal of Myth and Theatre

A Journal where Ritual, Sacred and Folk Performance Arts and Scholarship meet. Like a bright little wildflower, folk, myth, and ritual theatre grows where it can, blooms brightly and seeds itself for future generations. There is an alliterative reference to Kore, the Maiden of the Eleusinian Mysteries in simply saying the name of this wildflower. By doing so, one may evoke the image of the Court of Beautiful Dances, a place where ritual theatre flourished for many thousand years. Like wildflowers, folk theatre flourishes in unexpected places: street corners, alleyways, open fields and along roadsides. Coreopsis: Journal of Myth & Theatre is published semi-annually by the Society for Ritual Arts.

Choreographic Practices

Choreographic Practices operates from the principle that dance embodies ideas and can be productively enlivened when considered as a mode of critical and creative discourse. The journal provides a platform for sharing choreographic practices, critical inquiry, and debate. Placing an emphasis on processes and practices over products, this journal seeks to engender dynamic relationships between theory and practice, choreographer and scholar, so that these distinctions may be shifted and traversed. Choreographic Practices will encompass a wide range of methodologies and critical perspectives such that interdisciplinary processes in performance can be understood as they intersect with other territories in the arts and beyond (for example, cultural studies, psychology, phenomenology, geography, philosophy, and economics). In this way, the journal will open up the nature and scope of dance practice as research and draw together diverse bodies of knowledge and ways of knowing to illuminate an emerging and vibrant research area.

Contemporary Theatre Review

Contemporary Theatre Review analyses what is most passionate and vital in theatre today. It encompasses a wide variety of theatres, from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image, and other forms of physical expression, from new acting methods to music theatre and multi-media production work. Recognizing the plurality of contemporary performance practices, it encourages contributions on physical theatre, opera, dance, design, and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the physical and the visual arts. The editors aim to publish essays that face the challenge of finding new critical approaches to match artistic innovations and work that transcends established categories. This involves both a focus on productions that invent their own generic forms by juxtaposing different artistic traditions and a consideration of how theatre engages with social and political realities. As such the journal examines trends in contemporary theatre, including the mainstream, and seeks to explore how theatrical vocabularies are shifting to accommodate and reflect the dynamics and/or tensions within the global and local culture.

FIELD: A Journal of Socially-Engaged Art Criticism

FIELD responds to the remarkable proliferation of new artistic practices devoted to forms of political, social and cultural transformation. Frequently collaborative in nature, this work is being produced by artists and art collectives throughout North, South and Central America, Europe, Africa and Asia. While otherwise quite diverse, it is driven by a common desire to establish new relationships between artistic practice and other fields of knowledge production, from urbanism to environmentalism, from experimental education to participatory design.FIELD is based on the belief that informed analysis of this practice requires the cultivation of new forms of interdisciplinary knowledge, and a willingness to challenge the received wisdom of contemporary art criticism and theory. We seek to open a dialogue among and between artists, activists, historians, curators, and critics, as well as researchers in fields such as philosophy, performance studies, urbanism, ethnography, sociology, political science, and education. To that end the journal’s editorial board will include a diverse range of scholars, artists, historians, curators, activists and researchers. It is our belief that it is only at the intersections of these disciplines that can we develop a deeper understanding of the cultural transformations unfolding around us.

International Brecht Society Yearbook

Brecht Yearbook, is devoted to the results of scholarly research. The Yearbook was titled Brecht Heute / Brecht Today from 1971-73, then Brecht-Jahrbuch from 1974-80, and thereafter The Brecht Yearbook / Das Brecht-Jahrbuch with individual volume titles. The fact that it was published in Germany and (mostly) in German during its first 10 years gave rise to criticism and complaint among IBS members who were either not academics or not proficient in German, especially from non-German theater practitioners. When Suhrkamp Verlag in Frankfurt am Main cancelled the publication contract in 1979, John Fuegi shifted the production to Wayne State University Press under a new editorial board and with a commitment to publish in German and English as well as Spanish and French. During the 1980s the widespread interest in Brecht’s writings that had launched the IBS was diminishing, and despite a generational shift in leadership this affected the numerical strength of the society and the frequency of its publications. The Yearbook no longer appeared annually, so that libraries and institutional subscribers began to cancel. When the publisher demanded a very large publication subsidy in 1987, the IBS shifted to independent desktop publishing with vol. 14 (1989), and since then the Brecht Yearbook has once again continued to appear annually, distributed by the University of Wisconsin Press.

He meant it to be a major organ devoted exclusively to Jewish Theatre and Drama (hence the acronym JTD): “its agenda,” he wrote in his programmatic preface to the first issue, “is designed to cover a great variety of themes and issues concerning the history, aesthetics and poetics of Jewish theatre and drama, a field arousing growing interest, but to which no regular organ of academic research has been exclusively devoted so far… JTD will raise various issues… from the cultural aspects of a national stage to the international deployment of Jewish theatrical activity.”

It serves as an extension and re-imagination of the journal On-Stage Studies, previously published from 1979 to 2001 by the Department of Theatre and Dance in coordination with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Our intent is to take the previous model dedicated to performance that takes part “on-stage” and widen the idea of what a stage is. Taking cues from performance studies theory, we believe the stage is all around us and therefore performance has a multitude of avenues from which to emerge. PARtake operates as a double-blind, peer-reviewed, online journal with its first themed edition scheduled for release in Summer 2016. Due to its unique digital format, the journal will also promote the publication of performance reviews on a rolling basis.

Translation

With this publication, the editors present the new international peer-reviewed journal translation, which from January 2012 will be published twice a year. The journal—a collaborative initiative of the Nida School of Translation Studies and prominent translation scholars from around the world—takes as its main mission the collection and representation of the ways in which translation as a fundamental element of culture transforms our contemporary world. Our ambition is to create a new forum for the discussion of translation, offering an open space for debate and reflection on what we call post-translation studies, moving beyond disciplinary boundaries towards wider transdisciplinary discourses on the translational nature of societies that are increasingly hybrid, diasporic, border-crossing, intercultural, multilingual, and global. This publication suggests new routes for rethinking translation. Prominent scholars, representing different disciplines and areas of interest, have accepted our invitation to support our project and joined the translation’s advisory board. We thank and acknowledge them by letting their words represent our initial steps. These texts, either written explicitly for this journal or taken from previously published writings, reflect suggestions, directions, and even programs for the journal’s future issues.
