Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes scholarship on performance and theatre that interrogates issues of race, gender, class, and exploitation, often through analyses of specific artistic productions and historical archives. Articles examine how performance engages with global histories of enslavement, transpacific cultural exchange, and the material conditions of scholarly practice. The scope also includes explorations of the ontological boundaries of life and death in performance and the use of erotic refusal as a diasporic strategy.
