Call for Papers
We are inviting you to submit your research to the forthcoming special issue on 'The Weekend', to be published in Leisure Studies with Guest Editors: Professor John K Walton and Dr Jill Ebrey.
Despite a social life, which, as Swyngedouw (2004) and Harvey (1996) concur, is characterised by perpetual change, transformation and refiguration, the weekend has remained an important and pervasive institution. It is also a British cultural export, as the French ‘la semaine anglaise’ (and ‘le week-end’), and the Spanish and Portuguese ‘semana inglesa’ indicate a meaning that has shifted from being merely ‘the end of the week’, to ‘the weekend’, a separate time and space with a life of its own...
It is anticipated that the special issue will be published in late 2013.
Papers should be submitted no later than Monday 7th January 2013 via Manuscript Central.
Please include a note with all submissions that the paper is for consideration in the special issue on ‘The Weekend’.
If you wish to discuss a potential submission please contact the guest editors John K. Walton and/or Jill Ebrey directly.
Please see the attachment for further details.
