Intellect has just released the inaugural issue of Performing Ethos. A free on-line version of the journal is available at: http://www.atypon-link.com/INT/toc/peet/1/1

As Carole-Anne Upton writes in her Editorial: “An ethical dimension is arguably both implicit and essential in any consideration of what it is that the theatre can do, and of how the theatre can function and be understood in relation to individuals and communities, real or imagined. This journal […] strives to create a dynamic space in which ethical questions arising within the broad fields of theatre, drama and performance can be explicitly addressed, and in which ethical challenges and imperatives can be identified and explored, analysed, evaluated, contextualized, debated, challenged, revisited and perhaps even resolved.”

Devora Neumark’s article “Close Proximity” is included in this issue.

Devora Neumark is an artist-in-residence at matralab.
