Asian Theatre Journal

The journal is dedicated to sharing the best scholarship on both historical genres and contemporary practice with attention to theatre as performance and socio-cultural practice.

Recent issue have considered South and Southeast Asian Puppetry (18,1), contemporary mask performance in Asian (22, 2), intercultural theatre from Kathakali King Lear, to Robert Wilson's I la Galigo, to the Luo Jinlin Hebei clapper opera, or the queering of the Singapore stage.

Contemporary Theatre Review
Contemporary Theatre Review analyses what is most passionate and vital in theatre today. It encompasses a wide variety of theatres, from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image and other forms of physical _expression, from new acting methods to music theatre and multi-media production work. Recognising the plurality of contemporary performance practices, it encourages contributions on physical theatre, opera, dance, design and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the physical and the visual arts.
The editors aim to publish essays that face the challenge of finding new critical approaches to match artistic innovations and work that transcends established categories. This involves both a focus on productions that invent their own generic forms by juxtaposing different artistic traditions and a consideration of how theatre engages with social and political realities. As such the journal examines trends in contemporary theatre, including the mainstream, and seeks to explore how theatrical vocabularies are shifting to accommodate and reflect the dynamics and/or tensions within global and local cultures.

Frakcija
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.
