Creative Industries Cluster Journal

Call for Papers

The editorial team of Creative Industries Cluster 
Journal (CICJ) invite creative practitioners, PhD, MA students and BCMCR 
staff to submit 300 word abstracts for the second issue of the journal.

The theme for this issue is ‘“Borders and Hinterlands”. We would like to 
explore creative and cultural practice that exists beyond the margins of 
cultural policy and commercial markets. This issue will platform 
original perspectives on the functioning, role and value of cultural 
activity that exists beyond the reach of official policy and commercial 
cultural production. This takes in, among other things, activity that is 
often conceptualised as ‘grassroots’, ‘voluntary’, ‘amateur’, ‘homemade’ 
‘everyday’ or ‘alternative’ cultural production and consumption.

In this issue we want to ask: Where are the edges of ‘official culture’ 
and/or ‘mainstream’ culture? How are cultural borders and hinterlands 
formed or altered? What sustains marginal activity in a cultural 
hinterland? What is the role of ‘hinterland’ culture in addressing 
complex societal issues? How do cultural borders and hinterlands relate 
to identity, belonging, cultural value and social capital?

Contributions can either address the theme of ‘    Borders and 
Hinterlands’ directly, or critique existing research by considering its 
implications through the lens of the ‘borders and hinterlands’ theme.

Submissions can include media responses (Podcasts, video, images, games 
etc). Video or Audio submissions should not exceed 45 minutes in length 
and be in a file format suitable for hosting on Word Press. Written 
submissions should be 2,000-4,000 words.

Four contributions will be published on the 14th June 2019. The URL for 
the journal is http://cicj-journal.com/. Editorial guidelines can also 
be found on this website.

Deadline for 300-word abstracts is 1st February 2019

Please include your name, institution, contact email and bio.

Full submissions will be invited by the 15th February and expected by 
the 15th April. The Journal edition will be published 14th 
June 2019. All contributions published by CICJ will be considered by the 
whole editorial panel, and peer reviewed by two editors before publication.
