Frakcija has published texts of different genres, ranging from scientific studies, essays and criticism to interviews with some of the most well known theatrical artists of the present day Many of today’s most acclaimed theatre and performance theoreticians have also written for Frakcija. As a magazine that continuously questions its editorial policy and consciously works on its re-conceptualisation, Frakcija is working with those authors, scholars and artists who combine new theoretical perspectives with the still “insufficiently-academic” themes of radicalism, affective work, the energies of performance, and vague/volatile/incomprehensible phenomena. More actively and more creatively Frakcija is a site for artistic and theoretical initiatives and new cultural projects. For information see: http://www.cdu.hr/frakcija/
