Welcome to Women & Performance |
Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory is a peer-reviewed, triannual publication featuring scholarly essays on performance, dance, film, new media, and the performance of everyday life from interdisciplinary feminist perspectives. We encourage dialogue between varied fields of performance scholarship (performance studies; theater, dance, and music history and criticism; ethnography; cinema and cultural studies; queer and post-colonial theory), and explore critiques of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, technology, and nation.
A Brief History of the Journal
In 1983, graduate students in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University launched the collectively edited and managed journal Women and Performance as a forum for the discussion of gender and representation. Over the past 23 years, the journal has grown steadily. Effective 2006, The Taylor and Francis Group, a division of Routledge, will publish Women and Performance and distribute the journal nationally and internationally through bookstores, libraries, and individual and institutional subscriptions. The journal will also be available online for the first time. |
