CALL FOR PAPERS
IDAN: Journal of Performance Culture and Film Studies is a prestigious peer-reviewed journal published by the Department of Theatre Arts, College of Humanities and Culture (Ikire), Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria. It serves as a vital platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to engage in critical discourse on performance, culture, and film studies. The journal welcomes original research, thought-provoking essays, book and performance reviews, insightful interviews, and innovative practice-led studies. We encourage contributions that provide fresh theoretical insights, interdisciplinary perspectives, and critical analyses of African and global performance traditions, film studies, linguistic and literary studies, and cultural studies.
As a fully Open Access journal, IDAN ensures that knowledge is freely accessible to scholars and readers worldwide. With Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for every published article, our authors benefit from enhanced visibility and long-term citation impact. The journal is indexed in leading academic databases, including Google Scholar, OpenAIRE, Zenodo, ScienceGate, CrossRef, Web of Science, Academia.edu, and PKP, guaranteeing maximum reach and scholarly recognition.
We are excited to announce the launch of our inaugural edition in June, and we invite scholars and researchers to submit high-quality manuscripts that align with our thematic focus. Published biannually in June and December, IDAN upholds rigorous academic standards through a meticulous double-blind peer review process, ensuring that only the most impactful and well-researched works make it to publication.
Join us in shaping the discourse on performance, culture, and film studies—submit your manuscript and be part of a global scholarly conversation that bridges tradition and innovation.
