Call for proposals: Performance Philosophy Vol 10, Issue 1 (2025)
Open Call
Edited by Eve Katsouraki, Diana Damian Martin & Theron Schmidt
Proposal Deadline: 24 May 2024
Performance Philosophy maintains an international reputation for publishing rigorous peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research in performance philosophy: an interdisciplinary field of thought, creative practice and scholarship, supported by an international network of over 2000 scholars and artists. Published twice annually, Performance Philosophy showcases the best original research in this interdisciplinary field with a particular interest in the formats through which thought is performed including in/as the journal itself.
We would like to invite contributions to Performance Philosophy’s Open Issue (2025).
As an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal, Performance Philosophy publishes articles, creative works and experimental formats that test the relationship between performance and philosophy in all its possible configurations, including the philosophy of performance as well as performance-as-philosophy and philosophy-as-performance.
As a field, performance philosophy attends to the philosophies that emerge from and as performance practices; to considerations of what it means to think-with or alongside performance and experiments in performative philosophy.
The journal is an invitation to participate in an ongoing interrogation about what performance philosophy is, does and might become.
We are interested in research engaging with a broad range of philosophical traditions, knowledges and practices, including those outside of academic philosophy, and with any discipline or definition of performance and performativity, including but not limited to the performing arts: drama/dramaturgy, theatre, dance, choreography, somatics, performance art, live art, music, performativity, theatricality, drama education, creative media, social performance and embodied practices.
We would particularly like to welcome contributions that centre Indigenous, Global Majority and otherwise peripheralised philosophical and performance knowledges, and welcome proposals that are responsive to alternative modes of presentation, reflection and dissemination
Initial proposals of no more than a page (500 words max), plus an additional 200-word max biography, should be sent to the editors by 24 May 2024 via the following address:
The journal values thought performed through traditional essay format as well as through various artistic forms, such as audio tracks, visual imagery, web design, and multi-media. We specifically encourage submissions for our [Margins] category, dedicated to publishing creative, non-standard approaches to the manifold relationships that may arise out of the conjunction between performance and philosophy, including (but not limited to) ficto-criticism, aphorism, forays, manifestos, and visual essays.
If your initial proposal is accepted, then complete first drafts will be due by 31 October 2024 and then sent out for peer-review with the aim to publish the volume in April/May 2025.
