Abstract

abstract:In the arts and humanities, reading is both an obligation and an indulgence—on the one hand, reading another article or book chapter when you should be writing is the height of procrastination; on the other, reading is a fundamental prerequisite to knowing the field, situating oneself in it, and completing responsible research. In excerpts from the authors' ongoing oral history project with journal editors from the fields of theater and performance studies, the editors wonder: who is reading the materials that is published? What aspects of reading might be illuminated from the perspective of the people working to provide various disciplines with texts to read? Indeed, what if editors are the only ones reading some of the work in journals?

学术期刊的劳动:或者，有人会读吗?

在艺术和人文学科中，阅读既是一种义务，也是一种放纵——一方面，在你应该写作的时候阅读另一篇文章或另一本书的章节是拖延症的高度;另一方面，阅读是了解领域、置身其中、完成负责任研究的基本前提。在作者与戏剧和表演研究领域的期刊编辑正在进行的口述历史项目的节选中，编辑们想知道:谁在阅读出版的材料?从那些为不同学科提供阅读文本的人的角度来看，阅读的哪些方面可能会得到启发?事实上，如果编辑是唯一阅读期刊上某些作品的人呢?

期刊介绍： Reception: Texts, Readers, Audiences, History is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal published once a year. It seeks to promote dialog and discussion among scholars engaged in theoretical and practical analyses in several related fields: reader-response criticism and pedagogy, reception study, history of reading and the book, audience and communication studies, institutional studies and histories, as well as interpretive strategies related to feminism, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and postcolonial studies, focusing mainly but not exclusively on the literature, culture, and media of England and the United States.
