Call for Theatre Book Proposals
Denis Salter
Southern Illinois University Press invites Canadian authors to submit
book proposals for their new theatre series. The goal of Theater in the
Americas series is to publish a wide range of scholarship on theater
and performance in the Americas, defining theater in its broadest terms
and including subjects that include all of the Americas.
The series focuses on the performance and production of theatre and
theatre artists and practitioners but welcomes studies of dramatic
literature as well. Meant to be inclusive, the series invites studies
of traditional, experimental, and ethnic forms of theater;
celebrations, festivals, and rituals that perform culture and acts of
civil disobedience that are performative in nature. We are interested
in biographies of theater and performance activities of all cultural
groups, including biographies of individuals, histories of theatre
companies, and collections of plays.
Interested authors should check the website for Southern Illinois
University Press for more information. Propoals and queries should be
addresssed to series editor, Robert A. Schanke at schanker@aol.com.
The two Canadian editors on the editorial board are Denis Salter and
Christopher Innes. They are also willing to field questions about the
series.
The press and the series editors will be attending the convention of
the Association for Theater in Higher Education in Toronto at the end
of July 12004.
