Objectives
This special issue of International Journal of Culture, Tourism and Hospitality Research (IJCTHR) is intended to break new ground by highlighting the important but yet to be fully acknowledged role of multi-media research (combinations of audio, animation, graphics and/or video and written or spoken text) in conveying significant information about the consumption of popular culture.
Appropriate submissions are video-ethnographies, animated cartoons, podcasts, edited video-taped interviews and photo- essays accompanied by written manuscripts. Manuscripts can be of distinct types or a combination of types, including:
- •
providing the theoretical foundations that inform the audio and/or visual material;
- •
presenting supplementary information (e.g. facts, figures, tables, diagrams, stories, poems); and/or
- •
describing the motivation for producing an audio and/or visual or multi-media representation.
Submission topics should illuminate an aspect of popular culture such as fashion, food, mass media, entertainment, leisure, sports, shopping, tourism and/or the internet activities. Interested contributors are invited to discuss the fit of submissions topics with Special Guest Editors Marylouise Caldwell (m.caldwell@econ.usyd.edu.au) and Paul Henry (p.henry@econ.usyd.edu.au), Discipline of Marketing, University of Sydney, Australia.
Editorial scope
The IJCTHR focuses on building bridges in theory, research, and practice across the fields of culture, tourism, and hospitality. The journal has an interdisciplinary mission to replace silo- thinking research paradigms. International in scope and grounded in theory-into-practice, the journal provides breadth, depth, provocation and passion in reporting the nuances of humans' lived experiences relating to culture, tourism and hospitality.
