CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Series Editors:

Cultural Histories of Theatre and Performance recognises that historical knowledge has always been contested and revised. Since the turn of the 21st century, the transformation of conventional understandings of culture created through new political realities and communication technologies together with paradigm shifts in anthropology, psychology and other cognate fields have challenged established methodologies and ways of thinking about how we do history.
We welcome proposals for books that take on those challenges while enlarging notions of theatre and performance through the representation of the lived experience of past performance makers and spectators. Our aim is to be both inclusive and expansive, inviting authors to propose topics that range temporally and spatially from the locally-specific to the intercultural and transnational.
