"The Space of the Stage"
For an issue to be guest co-edited by Jeffrey Masten and Wendy
Wall, _Renaissance Drama_ solicits essays that take up the question of
"space" and the early modern stage. This topic could include: the
representation of space on stage; the representation of particular kinds of
spaces or locations, or geographic imaginaries (domestic, urban, national,
pastoral, undifferentiated space); the space of acting/playing (e.g.,
locus/platea); the use of transit, movement, exile, exit, entrance,
procession; space as a created effect or stage property; the space of the
audience; the spaces of staging outside theaters (the house, the court,
etc.); the body in/as theatrical space; the politics or ideologies of space
and particular spaces (analyzed along lines that might include but would
not be limited to: gender, race, nation, class/rank, sexuality). Essays
that raise methodological questions about the relation of theatrical history
to the interpretation or analysis of "space" are particularly welcome.
Deadline for submissions is March 15, 1998. Please send a
self-addressed stamped envelope (if you wish to have the essay returned to
you) and three copies of your essay to either of the following addresses:
