Special issue of Hradec Králové Journal of Anglophone Studies to be published in July 2019
The special issue’s theme is “Teaching Performing, Performing Teaching.” Submitted articles should resonate with the following description of the project:
Both performance and pedagogy operate as two–way communication between the agent and the recipient – the performer and the audience, or the teacher and the student. Both performance and pedagogy have the significant potential to transform as well as to fail. This very weakness of theatre as well as pedagogy is also its greatest strength: its authentic possibility to fail. The vulnerability, fragility of both performance and teaching/learning highlights its human nature creating thereby a sympathetic bond with the Other. Therefore, performance/theatre as well as pedagogy can be both transformative, life illuminating experiences.
We invite contributions from all possible areas of English language discourse revolving around ideas connected with performance, theatre, pedagogy and its possible interconnections.
Papers are invited from all possible fields, including (not restricted to):
Performance as teaching, teaching as performance
Performance and teaching, teaching and performance
Performance and research, research and performance
Performance as research, research as performance
Performance art, its history and application
Performance and pedagogy, performance as pedagogy
Pedagogy as performance, pedagogy and performance
New trends in pedagogy to enhance performance
New trends in performance to enrich pedagogy
Linguistics and performance
Performative linguistics
Literatures and performance
Literatures and performances
Failure as a creative agent
Didactics, methodology and new performance-boosting trends
And many others.
