CALL FOR PAPERS, REVIEWS AND PHOTOGRAPHS

Black Theatre Network, a national organization of theatre scholars and practitioners, is pleased to announce its call for papers for the next edition of its online scholarly refereed journal, CONTINUUM: The Journal of African/Diaspora Drama, Theatre and Performance. CONTINUUM links the past, present and future of scholarly inquiry into the history, theory and criticism that serves our discipline. Our inaugural issue launched in June 2014. The anticipated publication for the next edition (2.1) is June 2015.

Though the journal is interested in any topic relevant to African and African diaspora drama, theatre and performance, there is a special interest in articles that address the special historical resonances of the year 2015: the sesquicentennial of the end of the Civil War; one of the centennial years of World War I; the hundredth anniversary of the film, “Birth of a Nation,” seventy years since the end of World War II; fifty years since the assassination of Malcom X and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In light of recent horrific acts of police violence against Black men and boys, there is also a special urgency in the subject of civil rights and civil liberties. Submissions should be no longer than 6250-6500 words in length and follow Chicago Manual of Style formatting. An abstract of up to 250 words should accompany the manuscript. Electronic submission instructions and a brief submission form can be found at www.continuumjournal.org. Our deadline submission date is April 30, 2015. Our journal does not publish plays.

Call for reviews. Reviews of books on any aspect of African diaspora drama, theatre, and performance and reviews of relevant productions mounted during the 2014-2015 season should also be submitted for consideration. Reviews should be up to 1250 words in length; reviewers should follow the same electronic submission instructions listed above.

Call for photographs. As a continuing feature, we publish production photographs; we will accept up to four photographs each from productions mounted during the 2014-2015 theatre season. Please follow the instructions for submission of photographs on our web site.

The executive editorial board of CONTINUUM includes Dr. Harry Elam, Stanford University; Dr. Paul Bryant-Jackson, Miami University of Ohio; Dr. Sandra Shannon, Howard University; and Dr. Beth Turner, Florida A&M University, who will serve as lead editor on our next issue. Dr. Sandra Addell of the University of Wisconsin serves as our book review editor; Ms. Rebekah Pierce, founder of the Pierce Agency LLC, is our production review editor. Dr. Freda Scott Giles, University of Georgia (Emerita), is managing editor.
