[ecrea] Call for book chapter proposals to Companion to media and tourism

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. 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
