American Society for Theatre Research (ASTR)

As part of the ongoing Theaters of War working group, we seek to continue our exploration of war's relationship to theatre and performance, an investigation especially resonant with this year's conference theme. Even broadly defined, the idea of war requires/commands/invites us to choose a side. We fight for a cause, for a political ideology, for religion, for love. Outside the traditional military "theatre of war", we battle against disease, poverty, hate, ignorance. Indeed, to declare war on a people or a country or a situation requires commitment; one must take a stand. This working group seeks to bring together a diverse group of scholars, methodologies, and research interests to continue our conversation about the complex representation of war in culture and how performance or conviction can operate in multiple theaters. 

Please submit a 300-word abstract, along with name and contact information and bio (150 words) to JLKUBLY@GMAIL.COM and MULLENER@MIAHMIOH.EDU by May 31, 2015.

It is not necessary to be a member of the America Society for Theater Research to apply but must have membership by the time of the conferene (Nov. 5-8) in Portland, Oregon.
