Global Performance Studies (GPS)
Mission
GPS: Global Performance Studies is a peer-reviewed, Open Access academic journal. We provide a platform for scholars and artists engaged in a broad range of performance studies, including contemporary performance practices; theory, politics, social and cultural contexts of and as performance; performance and visual arts and media; and practices of resilience and care for everyday life. We emphasize a global perspective on these themes and practices, and aim to support under-represented narratives and epistemologies that trouble and contest the discipline of performance studies.
Platform
As an online platform, GPS aims to create and utilize digital methods of publishing as a method for supporting diverse and situated knowledges that intervene within centralized or universalizing academic discourses. We are interested in modes of scholarship that engage productively with the relationship between form and content, and we support video and audio papers, podcasts, and recordings; performance texts, scores, and scripts; as well as academic articles that take a more conventional text form. GPS is published biannually and is funded by Performance Studies international.
