The Eighteenth Century: Theory and Interpretation seeks essays on
for a special issue on theater and theatricality in the
long eighteenth century. In an era that witnessed continued and frequently
successful attacks on the stage, the scope of "theater" spread from the
playhouse to encompass many domains of culture. We are interested in
essays on the material conditions and ideological location of the
eighteenth-century theater as well as on the significance of cultural and
cross-cultural performances of all kinds. And we hope for essays that
bring new kinds of evidence and methodological frameworks to bear on how
the "play" taken to be inherent to performance actually does "work" in a
variety of cultural domains: the state, the home, the public sphere, the
family, the nation, the person. Contributions sought from writers in all
disciplines that touch on issues of theater and performance: literature,
theater, philosophy, art history, architecture, music, economics, and
anthropology. Papers should be no longer than 7,500 words. Deadline April
1, 2002.
