Divadelní revue

Divadelní revue (Czech Theatre Review) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to theatre studies (theatrology), published three times a year by the Institut umění – Divadelní ústav (Arts and Theatre Institute) in the Czech Republic. It has been published continuously since 1989, making it one of the longest-running Czech-language academic periodicals focused on theatre. The editorial content is prepared and its scholarly standards guaranteed by the Kabinet pro studium českého divadla (Cabinet for the Study of Czech Theatre), a research unit within the Arts and Theatre Institute. The journal's stated mission is to publish scholarly studies, analyses, documents, reviews, and reports on theatre culture, with a strong emphasis on the theory and history of both Czech and world theatre. It is a fully peer-reviewed periodical indexed in SCOPUS, and the studies it publishes undergo standard double-blind reviewing. This makes it a recognized venue for academic research in theatre studies, not only in the Czech Republic but also within the broader international scholarly community. The editorial team is led by editor-in-chief Honza Petružela, with editors Barbara Topolová and Martin Pšenička. The editorial board includes scholars and theatre professionals from Czech and international institutions, such as David Drozd (Department of Theatre Studies, Masaryk University), Kurt Ifkovits (Austrian Theatre Museum), Pavel Janoušek (Institute of Czech Literature, Czech Academy of Sciences), Petra Ježková (Cabinet for the Study of Czech Theatre), Daniela Jobertová (Department of Theory and Criticism, DAMU), Vladimír Just (Department of Theatre Studies, Charles University), Nadežda Lindovská (Department of Theatre Studies, VŠMU), Štěpán Otčenášek (Divadlo v Dlouhé), and Jan Šotkovský (Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno). Beyond the journal itself, Divadelní revue also operates a book series (edice Divadelní revue) that has published titles such as Divadlo v průsečíku reflexe: Antologie současné polské divadelní teorie (2018), Bibliografie Divadelní revue 1989–2009 (2013), and Czech Theatre Review 1989–2009 (2011). The journal maintains an official website and a Facebook presence, and it serves as a key reference point for Czech theatre scholarship.

Divadelní revue was founded in 1989, the year of the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, and has been published continuously since then. It is issued three times a year by the Institut umění – Divadelní ústav (Arts and Theatre Institute), a state-funded institution based in Prague. From its inception, the journal has been editorially prepared and its scholarly quality guaranteed by the Kabinet pro studium českého divadla (Cabinet for the Study of Czech Theatre), a research unit within the Institute. Over the decades, the journal has established itself as a central platform for Czech theatre studies, publishing scholarly studies, analyses, documents, reviews, and reports on theatre culture. Its focus is on the theory and history of Czech and world theatre. It has become a fully peer-reviewed periodical indexed in SCOPUS, with all studies subject to standard double-blind reviewing. In addition to the journal, Divadelní revue has developed a book series (edice Divadelní revue). Notable publications in this series include Czech Theatre Review 1989–2009 (2011), a retrospective volume; Bibliografie Divadelní revue 1989–2009 (2013), a bibliography of the journal's first two decades; and Divadlo v průsečíku reflexe: Antologie současné polské divadelní teorie (2018), an anthology of contemporary Polish theatre theory. The editorial team has included figures such as editor-in-chief Honza Petružela and editors Barbara Topolová and Martin Pšenička. The editorial board brings together scholars and theatre professionals from Czech and international institutions, including Masaryk University, the Austrian Theatre Museum, the Czech Academy of Sciences, DAMU, Charles University, VŠMU, Divadlo v Dlouhé, and the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno.
