INTERIORS: DESIGN, ARCHITECTURE, CULTURE
Call for Papers
Berg Publishers are pleased to announce the launch of a new academic
journal, Interiors: Design, Architecture, Culture in 2010. The editors,
Anne Massey, (MIRC, Kingston University) and John Turpin (Washington
State University) welcome contributions that consider the spaces and
places within built structures. Interiors: Design, Architecture, Culture
will bring together the best critical work on the analysis of all types
of spaces. Whether homes, offices, shopping malls, schools, hospitals,
churches and restaurants, interiors are all embedded with meaning, both
consciously and subconsciously, and evince particular, multi-sensory and
psychological responses. The Journal will investigate the complexities
of the interior environment*s history, orchestration and composition,
and its impact on the inhabitant from a trans-disciplinary perspective.
In its exploration of the interior environment, Interiors aims to
challenge divisions between theory and practice, and seeks to be a place
of inspiration and information for practitioners, historians and
theorists of the interior. There are no limits in terms of geography or
chronology. The content of the Journal is relevant not only to the
design disciplines, but also those of anthropology; art and design
history; cultural studies; film studies; gender studies; geography;
material culture; sexuality studies and visual culture.
We are seeking articles that reflect the latest research on the
interior from historians, practitioners and theorists. Principal
articles of 5,000 to 7,000 words, including notes and references, with
4-8 illustrations are invited, and should be sent as an attachment to
[log in to unmask] by 4th January 2010. Further details of
the Journal, including Notes For Contributors, are available on
www.bergjournals.com/interiors. If you have any queries about the
Journal or about submitting an article, please contact us on the above
email address.
