II. Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory
seeks articles, performance texts, and reviews for its
forthcoming special issue on
NEW HYBRID IDENTITIES:
PERFORMING RACE/GENDER/NATION/SEXUALITY
Submission Deadline:
March 1, 1994
We are interested in articles and performance texts that
examine how post/neocolonialism and new political identities
are performed, and how such performances reconfigure existing
paradigms and intersections of race, gender and nation. This
issue will focus on performance in the broadest sense, and
will include a spectrum of notions of performativity,
including: theatrical conceptions, linguistic performatives,
"passing" as performance, Judith Butler's reading of gender-
as-performance, and urban culture as performance. Emerging
notions of performance that extend or complicate such
paradigms are welcomed. How postcolonialism performs the
imbrication of race, sexuality and nation will be a central
concern of this issue. We are interested in examining the
politics of contamination as performed in the public and
private spheres. Experimental and performative writing are
encouraged.
The Journal accepts articles of varying length, preferably no
longer than 15 double-spaced typed pages. Send three copies
to:

III. General information about _Women & Performance_:
_Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory_ is a
vital forum for discussion concerning gender and
representation. W&P features articles on performance and
performativity from interdisciplinary feminist perspectives,
and encourages dialog between varied fields of performance
scholarship (ethnography, dance and theater history,
performance studies, cinema studies, cultural studies) and
emerging critiques on notions of race, ethnicity, class,
sexuality, and nation.
In past issues, W&P has featured performance texts by Anna
Deavere Smith, Spiderwoman Theater, Linda Mussman, and Yvonne
Rainer; articles on the practice and politics of feminist
theory and performance by theorists including Jill Dolan, Sue
Ellen Case, E. Ann Kaplan, Vivian Patraka, and Peggy Phelan;
interviews with Estelle Parsons and Gayatri Spivak. The
Summer 93 issue examined "Feminist Pedagogy"; the Winter 1993
"Feminist Film and Video" edited by Peggy Phelan, is now
available.
