Nordic Theatre Studies is the leading academic journal for theatre researchers in the Nordic and Baltic countries and for all scholars writing about theatre and performance related to these countries. It has been selected for inclusion in Web of Science and Scopus as well as Ebsco and Google Scholar. In 1988 Föreningen Nordiska Teaterforskare (NTF) established Nordic Theatre Studies as a journal of scholarly writing on theatre. Ever since it has published research on all aspects of theatre in the Nordic region, including since 2012 the Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and it has promoted Nordic and Baltic scholars writing on any aspect of theatre in the world. Within the Nordic and Baltic region, it is the only English language publication on its subject. Since 2014 NTS is published twice every year. One number addresses a certain theme announced in a call for contributions, the other number is dedicated to selected and peer reviewed articles developed from papers presented at conferences, seminars and/or workshops organized by or in collaboration with the Association. The themed numbers of the journal also allow for a few articles, which do not address the theme. Each number has a section with reviews of new publications within the field of theatre studies.

Support letter for Theatre Studies in Bergen

2023-03-20

The Association of Nordic Theatre Scholars is very concerned to learn that the University of Bergen is considering to suspend two out of three positions within the field of Theatre Studies. We understand that in a situation where the circumstances require dire prioritizations, it might seem reasonable to focus on cutting vacant positions (or positions close to retirement), but we find it urgent to point out that what is at stake here is not just two jobs, but the possibility of maintaining and renewing an important strand of Norwegian cultural history and participation in the international research community.

Utopia and Performance: 2021 ANTS Conference Stockholm

2021-03-24

The 2021 ANTS conference will take place in Stockholm 30 September - 2 October under the theme of Utopia and Performance. Deadline for abstracts is 30 April 2021.

Theatre and performance engage in proposing various utopian visions as a remedy, as a critical stance in times of crisis, as an imaginary flight from straight realisms, as practiced performativities potentially materializing different futures. For the 2021 ANTS conference we invite contributions which investigate all utopian aspects that demonstrate the relevance and also the urge to practice, discuss, rethink and envision theatre and performance in manifold ways. The Theatre and Dance Department at Stockholm University celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2021. With the proposed theme, we also celebrate the Utopian spirit of its foundation and its future.
