Performance Research Volume 6 Issue 2

On Maps & Mapping

Issue editors: Richard Gough

ISBN: 978-0-415-26312

Embarking from 6(1) ‘Departures’ and arriving at 6(3) ‘On Navigation’ this issue will pursue our itinerant theme for our sixth year of publication. On Maps and Mapping will reconsider the broad term of ‘maps’ and will explore the relationship between material reality and representation; developing acts of visualizing and conceptualizing, of graphically registering and staging new correspondences. The issue will encourage new approaches to cartography, new ways of mapping and new territories to survey giving rise to new projections, references, voyages and sojourns. These will include personal mappings on and of the human body; professional mappings, charting the development of an artist or recording the impact of a company/movement and its resultant diaspora; fabulous mappings, proposing new and undiscovered terrain, and speculating on what might be the compass and grid of our performance world.
