Aims & Scope

Circus: Arts, Life and Science is a global, peer reviewed, open-access, online journal facilitating a platform and forum for professionals exploring the world of Circus. Such investigation can be derived from a wide manner of research across the broad spectrum of Circus development. This may include, but is not limited to, the practice, performance, and research of the arts, life and science of Circus. The Journal invites the submission of original research articles. Submissions should not have been previously published, either in a journal format or online, should not be under consideration at any other journal, and should be presented as original and novel research of potential interest to the editor and readers of the journal. The Arts section of the journal shares articles from all disciplines in the humanities (performance studies, literature, languages, linguistics, pedagogy, dramaturgy, film, media studies, philosophy, history, politics, religious studies, musicology, cultural studies, anthropology and more) focused on circus as an object of study. The science section of the journal offers articles from all disciplines in STEM and social science fields (medicine, kinesiology, psychology, sociology, engineering, mathematics, physics, geography, chemistry, biology, ecology and beyond). The Life section of the journal is a hybrid space designed to promote and develop practice-as-research and to create discourse between artists and researchers from all fields. This hybrid space is dedicated to the publication of peer-reviewed video-essays accompanied by research statements. Circus is an inclusive and experimental heterotopia (a world within worlds that challenges order, hierarchy, and norms). The form of this journal must therefore be culturally diverse, linguistically multiple, and artistically innovative to accurately express the ineffable nature of contemporary circus.
