Call for Papers
Geographies of Hospitality
In recent years there have been important developments in both the
conceptions of hospitality and its application to the analysis of social
phenomena. Geographers (Dikeç, 2002; Barnett, 2005), philosophers (Derrida,
2000; Friese, 2004), sociologists and cultural theorists (Molz and Gibson,
2007) have begun using hospitality to understand the ethics and politics of
mobility and global migration. In the meantime, management researchers who
traditionally treated hospitality as a series of economic and
organisational practices have begun to embrace social scientific
conceptions of hospitality in their studies of its commercial provision
(Lashley et al., 2007; Lugosi, 2007). There is increasing cross
fertilisation of ideas between management researchers and geographers.
Management academics are developing a geographical understanding of
commercial operations (Di Domenico and Lynch, 2007; Lugosi, 2007) and
geographers have begun to examine the how social and commercial forms of
hospitality interact to transform urban communities and contribute to urban
regeneration (Bell, 2007; Bell and Binnie, 2005). This session aims to
build on this emerging body of work by encouraging dialogue between
geographers, social scientists and those working in the management research
community. We welcome any papers that help to develop a geographical
understanding of hospitality, but we particularly welcome theoretical and
empirical papers that explore:
·The role of hospitality in urban, suburban and rural cultures, including
its positive and negative impacts
·The relationship between hospitality and urban regeneration
·The entanglement of social and commercial forms of hospitality
·How notions of hospitality can be used to understand social,
organisational and spatial processes
·The management and operation of commercial hospitality venues
Authors should submit a 200-word abstract by Friday 18th of January to
Peter Lugosi via email [log in to unmask] Authors of accepted
papers will be notified by the 25th of January.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Peter
