Theatralia

Aims & Scope

Theatralia: Journal of Theatre Studies is a peer reviewed journal of theatre history and theory, issued by the Masaryk University (Department of Theatre Studies, Faculty of Arts) since 2009.

The aim of the journal is to explore the previously neglected areas and issues of theatre history and theory, especially with regard to the Czech cultural context.

The thematic scope of issued papers covers all the aspects of theatre performance and its production (acting, stage design, etc.), historical and theoretical issues, as well as interdisciplinary topics (e.g. performativity/theatricality).

Special importance is assigned to the progressive tendencies in both the practical theatre-making and its theoretical reflection.

The individual contributions vary from large-scale analytical studies to minor genres such as book reviews and reports on interesting events to unpublished sources (e.g. archival materials).

The crucial areas covered by the journal are the following: -Czech theatre (professional and non-professional)- theatre theory (e.g. structuralism, cognitive studies, etc.)- individual components of theatre performance (e.g. puppets, stage design, etc.)- relation of theatre to other artistic disciplines.

The journal is published biannually, regularly altering the Czech and English edition.

Each issue features a thematic section called ‘Yorick’, in which a particular topic of interest is discussed in a series of articles.
