The Routledge Companion to Media and Tourism –
1st Call for Expressions of Interest for Book Chapters
We warmly invite you to submit your book chapter abstract for consideration for our book proposal for the Routledge Companion to book series. The aim of the “Routledge Companion to” book series is to define the current state of theory and research in a specialised field, in this case media and tourism, and create a foundation for future scholarship and study. Thus this companion will provide a comprehensive, must-have survey of the media and tourism-field, and also map out the emerging critical terrain.
Submission of expressions of interest: 31st of August 2017
Editors:
Dr. Maria Månsson, Lund University, Sweden
Dr. Lena Eskilsson, Lund University, Sweden
Dr. Anne Buchman, University of Newcastle, Australia
The relationship of media and tourism continues to attract popular and academic interest. Lund University (Sweden) recently organised the 7th International Tourism and Media (ITAM) conference, and this call for proposals sprung from this event. The aim of the conference was to move tourism and media knowledge forward by including a broad range of interests and backgrounds within the field of tourism and media research. Themes presented at this conference were from different disciplines and included, for example, popular culture (especially film) and tourism; travel writing; media and the making of different tourism spaces; destination marketing; media, tourists and representation; sport, media and tourism; processes of mediatization and tourism; social media and tourism; smartphones and tourism; tourism information material and tourists searches for information and the film industry and tourism.
However, while there has been a growing interest for the interrelationship between media and tourism from different disciplinary perspectives, these discussions are often published in different forums. The Routledge Companion to Media and Tourism consequentially aims at providing a comprehensive state of the art concerning media and tourism research from a multidisciplinary approach. The aim is to have 40-50 authors from around the globe and with a range of disciplines and various stages of academic career contributing to this companion. Any such contributions will need to survey a specific topic and critically discuss the leading views in the area. This includes discursive and reflective pieces and also discussions of original empirical work (cases).
Contributions are welcomed that address (but are not limited to) the following broad areas:
· Popular culture, fans and tourists
· The nexus between cultural heritage, media and tourism
· Film-induced tourism
· Media, tourism and spatial aspects
· Digitalisation, social media and tourism
· Smartphones and impact on tourism/tourists
· Travel writing, guide books
· Literary tourism
· Representation, media and tourism
· Destination marketing
· Tourists and Tourist Photography
· The impacts of popular culture on tourism organizations
· Mediatization, convergence and popular culture
· Media and tourist performances
· Media use and consumption
