CALL FOR CHAPTERS

What is the future of events and festivals?
Events are significant in today's society, but will they be significant in the future? Are we at a tipping point of over-supply which will see a rapid decline in the events in a future society triggered by the global financial crisis and national debt? Who will be the future event tourist be,  given the emergence of the rising middle classes of China and the impact of demographic change in a Western society? How will social media and technology shape the consumption of live events in the future? What role will events they play in a future society? These are interesting questions and the purpose of this chapter is to consider these questions, of what might happen, how it may occur and what change could occur as a result.

This call for contributors is based upon a book proposal which will be submitted to Drs Warwick Frost (La Trobe University) and  Jennifer Laing (Monash University) as part of the Routledge Advances in Events Book Series. This research series focuses on current theoretical and methodological developments and key advances in events research. It will take an international perspective and adopt a multidisciplinary approach, based on the study of events as a global social and cultural phenomenon with wide-ranging social, political, cultural, economic and ecological implications. The series will recognise that events studies is an important growth area in research, sometimes overlapping with tourism, but quite distinct.

The aim of the book is simply.......
*              To determine how the future of the world will shape the future of events

Scope
*              The book is research based, primarily for the academic community and postgraduate students
*              The future is determined beyond 2025 in order to demonstrate real or significant change rather than just incremental change.
*              14-16 chapters of 5000 word length

Section One: Past to Present
The first section of the book will examine how the past and present states of the events have evolved in a changing world.

Section Two: Present to Future
This section will focus on the trends, drivers and scenarios  through discussing the difference between the present and future. Whether this is the role of technology, fiscal deficits or scenarios about music festivals, conferences and major events.

Section Three : Theoretical concepts, models and frameworks
This section considers the exploration of new paradigms, theoretical frameworks and models that will represent alternatives to the future e.g., the purpose of events in tomorrow's society,  what is its  ontological meaning or is the future masculine or feminine?

Concluding chapter : A Cognitive Map of the Future
The development of a conceptual map of the future of events using the principles of cognitive mapping which binds and weaves the chapter contributions together. This section will be authored by the editorial team

Expressions of interest
Please submit an abstract, no longer that 250 words outlining your proposed chapter which clearly articulates the contribution to the future of events.
Please email contributions to Una McMahon-Beattie<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 26th November 2012. For further information, please do not hesitate to contact the editorial team.
