About the Journal
Focus and Scope
TheMA is a peer-reviewed open-access research journal dedicated to the history of performing and visual arts. It is published biannually by Hollitzer Wissenschaftsverlag in cooperation with Don Juan Archiv Wien, a non-governmental study centre for the history of theatre and culture in general, and Studium Fæsulanum, a non-governmental research centre dedicated primarily to the artistic and intellectual relevance of Central Tuscany around Florence and her Etruscan ‘mother’ Fiesole in the history of culture, the home of the first ‘villa’ of modern times and the birthplace of what we know as ‘opera’.
TheMA specializes in the critical and trans-disciplinary historical study of artistic production and reception in various artistic genres including literature, theatre, music, painting, sculpture, and architecture. While Middle, Central and Mediterranean Europe before 1900 is TheMA’s principal area of focus, it welcomes contributions on other regions or periods. The journal’s editors are particularly interested in research that disregards the traditional borders between the various specializations within the Humanities and Social Sciences in favour of a holistic approach to the study of cultural phenomena. TheMA also invites critical contributions themed on regions (such as Europe’s eastern half and adjacent territories in western Asia), which until now have been marginalized in international academic discourse.
TheMA publishes scholarly texts in three formats: research articles (min. 4000 words), notes (max. 2000 words), and reviews (max. 2000 words). The ample use of illustrations is encouraged. TheMA texts are published in English, with possible guest editions in German, Italian, Spanish and French. Prospective contributors are encouraged to submit abstracts of their papers to the editorial staff, which comply with the formal requirements as stated in the guidelines. One of the two issues published annually will be dedicated to a pre-selected theme. TheMA may also be approached with ideas and concepts for special issues by prospective guest editors.
Peer review process
All submissions to TheMA that are judged relevant to the journal's aims and scope by the editors will be peer reviewed by scholars specialized in closely related areas of research. Contributors will be notified within two weeks of submission of their article if it was forwarded for peer review. If so, the authors will have a final decision from the editors within two months of the date of submission.
Open access Policy
TheMA is committed to the principle of open access, providing immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
