Call for papers

Presentation

The Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença [Brazilian Journal on Presence Studies], an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that does not charge submission or publication fees, is calling for previously unpublished articles within the scope of the theme PERFORMANCE AND GENDER, by the deadline of 30 April 2023.

Gender has been an important concept in research in the Performing Arts and other fields of the arts, language and literature and the human sciences. Similarly, issues related to gender – or perhaps, it is better to say genders, given the pluralities that the theme raises – implies thinking, supporting, and expanding and reflecting on and with social movements engaged in struggles against sexism, machismo, lgbtqiap+ phobias, gender violence in all possible forms, and power structures, especially patriarchal ones. Thus, it involves issues central to contemporary social agendas intersectioned by other forms of oppression such as those that are racial, ethnic and class-based.

Relations between gender and performance are articulated in various realms of research and understood to be central to the production of knowledge about and with groups and artists that work with these concepts. The debate about performance and performativity gains unique visibility, considering the theoretical, and thus political tensions suggested by the interlocutions between fields of knowledge.

Women, feminisms, trans people, queer theory, Black feminisms, identities, non-binary characterizations, gender performativities, various corporalities, and dissident and or divergent bodies are some of the key words through which we recognize studies in the artistic and academic fields that have ties to the broad category entitled here as gender.

Therefore, the articles in this section can address theoretical issues, the limits and possibilities for research, as well as the analysis of militant artistic works or those indirectly related to these issues. Moreover, they can consider the broad spectrum of practices, performances, corporealities, pedagogies and other activities circumscribed in discussions about gender.

Thus, this is a call for previously unpublished articles that present original results of research in the field of performance, arts of presence, corporal arts, performative, and similar practices, seeking the problematization and debate characteristic of the world of research.

The section PERFORMANCE AND GENDER is open to articles that explore the theme based on different theoretical and methodological perspectives, especially those aligned to Open Science. Authors can present articles that work with issues of gender, considering one or more of the following or related topics:

  • Performance, dance, theater and gender ;

  • Performative practices and gender ;

  • Racism, conservativism and gender ;

  • Sexualities, genders and identities ;

  • Gender and creative processes ;

  • Gender, history, memory and archive ;

  • Performance, performativity and gender ;

  • Feminist theater and dance ;

  • Gender, culture and public policies ;

  • Gender and Education ;

  • The Arts System and gender ;

  • Gender and vulnerable populations ;

  • Gender and LGBTQIA+ phobias ;

  • Gender and intersectionality ;

  • Gender, identities and internationalization ;

  • Gender and contemporary performance.

Thus, the Revista Brasileira de Estudos da Presença hopes to receive work that is the result of studies and research that address the theme in some way or that involve the field of the performing arts, which is the starting point for a broader discussion about the related issues.
