This special issue explores the role particularly of live animals on the stage, from the early modern era to the present time. The contributions deal with visual and textual representations of performing animals, typologies of animals in the theatre, the hybridization of the drama with the circus, the zoo and the cinema, as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the text to the stage.

In attempting to relate snapshots of acting animals from their earliest manifestation on the early modern stage, we co…
Myths of Primitiveness: A Barthean Interpretation of Rhetorical Devices in Early Jazz Criticism
