Ecumenica is particularly interested in scholarship that explores the relationship between spiritual faith and the performing arts. With this orientation in mind, this special issue on the Roman Catholic Church is open to any submission related to the many and multi-layered interactions between “Catholic” life and faith, and theatre/performance studies. Possible topics may include, but are not limited to:
*Plays by authors who treat the Roman Catholic experience, such as John Patrick Shanley, Martin McDonagh, Stephen Adly Guirgis, and Christopher Durang;
*The historical relationship between the Church and the Theatre;
*Early church performativity and/or objections to theatre; *Roman Catholic use of theatre and performance for pedagogical and evangelical purposes, by Jesuits and other orders;
*The performance of Liturgy, Ritual, Catechism, and the Sacraments;
*Roman Catholic spaces/geographies and theatre/theatricality;
*The papacy and the priesthood, saints, lay activity and identity;
*Lost voices, and performances of heresy or unorthodoxy;
*Performing Catholic identity in nations dominated by other faith traditions
*Recent scandals, Vatican II, new Catholicisms, splinter movements, etc.
Ecumenica also seeks book and performance reviews broadly related to the issue topic. Inquiries and all material except reviews should be submitted in electronic format only to Carolyn Roark (cdr@ecumenicajournal.org). Book review inquiries and submissions may be sent to W. Barrett Huddleston (wbdh@ecumenicajournal.org), and performance review inquiries and submissions to Bradley W. Griffin (bwg@ecumenicajournal.org). Visit our website for additional information, including submission guidelines, a style sheet, and the required cover page.
