Journal focus and scope
The main purpose of the Journal Voz e Cena is the dissemination of artistic and scientific research in the field of Performing Arts with a focus on the relationship between sounds and visualities of the scene. The editorial line of the journal includes themes, methodologies and pedagogical-aesthetic practices, with an emphasis both on experiments and approaches that involve relations between the voice and the scene, as well as on artistic processes crossed by vocal practices. For this, we understand the voice in an expanded perspective that involves its production and its individual and collective reception in cultural, political and philosophical spheres, as well as its bodily and sonorous dimensions, its relations with the technologies and other sounds of the scene. The main objectives of Voz e Cena are:
I. Encourage research in the areas;
II. Contribute to the dissemination and socialization of knowledge;
III. Disseminate original and unpublished research in the area produced at regional, national and international levels;
IV. Enable the exchange of information and experiences with other national and international higher education and research institutions;
V. Address conceptual, methodological, pedagogical, cultural and aesthetic issues in the area;
