The current issue is volume 4, number 1 (March 2008), an expanded special issue, edited by Daniel Makagon of DePaul University, on the theme of The City. This issue includes critical essays, ethnographies, and performance texts. Topics include the performative politics of space and place, street art in London and New York, challenges to performances of safety in the suburbs, public squares, consumer performances, Irish nationalist performance during the Orange Riots in New York in 1971, the lives of smaller cities in light of the challenges of globalization, riding city buses in Lexington, and the performance of memory in Milan. The rest of 2008 will see a special issue on Paradigms of Performance Studies, edited by Craig Gingrich-Philbrook of Southern Illinois University, and two general issues.
Liminalities is a peer-reviewed journal for performance studies, theory and praxis. Our goal is to embrace the possibilities for presenting performance studies work by exploring and exploiting the "staging" potential of digital media. We publish essays, aesthetic works, digital media projects, documentaries, book reviews, interviews, and works about pedagogy & performance. Follow the journal information link for information about submitting projects and essays to Liminalities, and for information regarding our board of reviewers.
