ISSN 20524013 , ONLINE ISSN 20524021

Studies in Costume & Performance is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that aims to encourage, generate and disseminate critical discourse on costume and the relationship between costume and performance. It considers costume as a symbiotic articulation of the body of the performer which is visual, cultural, political, material, temporal and performative. Whether performed live, mediated through a screen, or encountered in an archive, costume embodies and reflects not only the performance, but also societies, cultures and communities.

Aims & Scope

Studies in Costume & Performance aims to encourage, generate and disseminate critical discourse on costume and the relationship between costume, performance and wider concerns. It considers costume as a symbiotic articulation of the body of the performer which is visual, cultural, political, material, temporal and performative. Past and current practice is considered through the 'reading' of the costumed body as a communication of embodied narratives. Whether performed live, mediated through a screen, or encountered in an archive, costume embodies and reflects not only the performance, but also societies, cultures and communities. 

The work included in the journal addresses costume in an expanded manner, taking into consideration both historical and contemporary concerns, including ethical entanglements with gender, race, class and social exclusion. It also engages with technological and digital advances, and ecocritical transformations of the world. The journal brings together interdisciplinary scholars from a growing number of fields as well as critically engaged practitioners to reflect and debate costume in performance, its production and reception, as well as its advancing academic critical thought. As a dynamically developing area of research, we actively invite authors, reviewers and guest editors from diverse areas of expertise and underrepresented geopolitical areas to problematize the multiple agencies of costume.

General Call for Papers

Submissions include research articles, research reports, visual essays, in-conversations, documents, and reviews. The journal is double-blind peer-reviewed in order to maintain the highest standards of scholarly integrity.

There are multiple phases in the process of double-blind peer review that is undertaken for each published article in Studies in Costume and Performance:

  1. Internal evaluation to determine if a new submission can go to peer review or requires resubmission or is unsuitable.

  2. Submission is sent for external double-blind peer review by experts related to the topic. Reviewers are chosen carefully by the journal editors according to their disciplinary expertise and level of seniority. Consideration is given to the interdisciplinarity of the submissions and where appropriate disciplinary expertise can be accessed.

  3. Journal editors manage the revisions of the text according to the external peer reviewers’ feedback.

  4. Should the process result in two conflicting reviews, a third reviewer is engaged.

  5. Where requested, the revised texts are sent back to the external reviewers for further comments and evaluation.

  6. The journal’s editors provide additional feedback, guidance and commentary for the finalisation of the texts.

  7. Authors undertake additional/final revisions based on the editors’ feedback before submission of the final draft of the text.

  8. Journal editors undertake a final check before a text is accepted for publication.

  9. Guest editors are supported throughout this process by one or more of the internal editors to ensure the rigour is maintained in each issue.

Journal contributors will receive a free PDF copy of their final work upon publication. Print copies of the journal may also be purchased by contributors at half price.
