Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies is an open-access,
peer- reviewed online publication that addresses three needs in performance
studies scholarship and practice: 1) expanding opportunities to share
peer-reviewed work, 2) creating a space for the publication of
multimedia texts and projects that are difficult or impossible to
publish in traditional print venues, and 3) international accessibility.
Liminalities publishes scholarship, aesthetic texts, and media
projects that explore, advance, challenge, and celebrate the study of
performance as a social, political, philosophical, and aesthetic
practice; as a methodology; and as a mode of critique. We welcome the
submission of projects addressing performance, the performative, and
performativity; performance scripts and aesthetic texts for
performance; reviews and criticism of performance work; works about
pedagogy and performance; and book reviews. We will consider any form
of performance work, and encourage both traditional work and that
which challenges the boundaries of performance. We welcome a wide
range of performance perspectives, practices, methodologies, contexts,
and sites. In addition to texts and images, we publish work in html,
mp3, Quicktime, and Flash formats. We currently publish three or four
issues per year.
