Aims & Scope

Performing Ethos (PEET) aims to uncover and explore key ethical issues facing theatre and performance today. With an emphasis on experimental, intercultural and interdisciplinary performance methodologies, PEET promotes a dynamic interchange between scholarship and performance practice, providing a forum for research from a range of perspectives, including theatre, performance, dance, digital culture, popular entertainment, social studies and politics. Acknowledging that ethical issues are contextually determined, the journal aims to facilitate debate about how ethics are expressed, experienced, and practised, across a range of contexts and environments.

Committed to reformulating notions of performance and performativity to advance discussions in areas such as the politics of care and inclusion, gender and sexuality, race and identity, presence, activism and the environment, PEET encourages submissions that challenge boundaries, exploring performance as a hermeneutical device for the communication, representation and expression of ethical practices and concerns.

Global in scope, PEET features articles, interviews, documentation, reflective writing, art writings and essays examining the processes and practices of theatre and performance, considering the ethical dimensions of theatre and performance in relation to the social, cultural and political dimensions of context and site.

Call for Papers

Performing Ethos (PEET) is a peer-reviewed journal that explores the ethical dimensions of theatre, performance and related disciplines. We are interested in ethics and ethos as lenses that link moral and philosophical discussion with the social, cultural and political dimensions of performance in practice and context. Acknowledging that ethical issues are contextually determined, we are interested in submissions that engage critically with notions of context, site and place to explore how performance relates to a range of ethical interests and concerns. These include, but are not limited to, care and inclusion, disability and accessibility, gender and sexuality, race and identity, activism and the environment.

Performing Ethos is interested in performance as a way of understanding and making knowledge about the world, and we welcome submissions from a diverse range of professional and intellectual perspectives, from the Global North and the Global South. We publish full peer-reviewed articles, interviews, artist reflections and documentation, book reviews and reports of relevant events. Our intention is to extend discussion around ethics and performance, and expand the range of voices involved in these discussions. If you work in these areas as a performance maker or scholar but are unsure if your work is appropriate for our journal, please get in touch with our editorial team and we will be pleased to offer guidance or advice. Submissions might consider, but are not limited to:

  • Ethics of representation (authenticity, gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity, age, disability, culture, beliefs)
  • Ethics of practice (planning, process, participation, collaboration, outcomes)
  • Performance, training and pedagogy
  • Cultural infrastructure (cultural industries, funding, policy)
  • Ethics of witnessing and spectatorship
  • Theoretical paradigms appropriate to ethics and performance
  • Ethics in relation to inter- and intra-culturalism
  • Decentring and decolonization
  • Research ethics in theatre and performance 

The journal normally considers articles of 5–7000 words dealing with any aspect of theatre or performance practice, criticism or analysis with a focus on ethical considerations. Our ‘Reflections’ section provides space for short-form meditations, provocations or case studies, between 500–1000 words. We are also interested in alternative forms and formats, including interviews, practice research, art writing, and submissions that make use of images and multimedia. If your work falls outside of our usual formats, but you still feel that Performing Ethos is the right journal for your work, please consider getting in touch.

Journal contributors will receive a free PDF copy of their final work upon publication.

All articles submitted should be original, unpublished work and must not be under consideration by other publications.
