Annals of Leisure Research: Special Issue on "alcohol and the leisure
experience"



Guest editor: Dr Neil Carr (Department of Tourism, University of Otago, P.O. Box
56, Dunedin, New Zealand. Email: ncarr@...)



Call for papers



Whilst a wide array of studies has been published that focus attention on
alcohol the vast majority of this work has been situated within a deviance
and/or health related context. Although the value of this type of work is not in
doubt the portrayal of the negative connotations of alcohol combined with a
historic tendency in leisure studies to focus on the central ground of
'conventional morality' has resulted in a limited examination of the position
and consumption of alcohol in the leisure experience. Based on this situation
the role alcohol plays in the construction of the leisure environment has been
relatively neglected. In addition, the marginalization of alcohol in the leisure
experience as a research field has meant that the consequences of alcohol
consumption in the leisure environment for the construction, re-affirmation, and
contestation of cultural, sub-cultural, and personal identities and values has
been comparatively under-studied.



The limited quantity and variety of studies of alcohol within a leisure context
stands at odds with the central position that alcohol often occupies both
directly and indirectly within the leisure experience. Consequently, this
special issue of the Annals of Leisure Research aims to provide a forum to
engender an expansion of the current understanding of linkages between leisure
and alcohol and the consequences of these links for the wider society. This
offers the opportunity for the development of more viable and sustainable
frameworks to deal with the potentially negative consequences of alcohol
consumption.



The guest editor invites interested researchers to contribute theoretical and/or
empirical papers related to the theme of this special issue. The topics of
potential manuscripts include, but are not limited to:



* The role of alcohol and the alcohol industry in the construction of the
leisure environment and experience
* The social and/or cultural construction of alcohol consumption in leisure
experiences
* The construction of cultural, sub-cultural and personal identities through
alcohol
* The personal, social, and economic costs and benefits of alcohol consumption
in the leisure environment
* The role of alcohol consumption as a catalyst and inhibitor to pleasure
fulfilment in the leisure experience
* The link between alcohol, deviance, and violence leisure experience



Submission Guidelines

1. In the first instance authors are invited to submit a 400 - 500 word abstract
for consideration for the special issue. Selected authors will then be asked to
produce a full paper based on their abstract
2. Electronic submissions should be sent by e-mail attachment to

Organisers: James Faulconbridge, Lancaster University and Donald McNeill, University Western Sydney.

Cultural economies of space design

This session aims to consider how detailed studies of the agents and conditions of the production of urban space can invigorate existing theoretical discussions of the city. Architectural firms, property developers, interior designers, and software firms are now receiving increasing attention, not least because of the implications of their work for local/regional economies and development. In this session we aim to explore the business practices and strategies of these and other space designers. Potential topics of interest might include (but are not limited to):

* the organisational tactics of firms and the way these influence the geographies of design;

* theoretical debates relating to how space designers shape regional economies and milieu.

* Evaluations of the conceptualisations of such agents as 'symbolic analysts' and alike

* the way designers and their firms interact with and are part of the development of 'creative', 'cultural' industry clusters;

* the geographical practices of architects and other designers;

* the new international division of labour and design firms;

Expressions of interest should be sent to James Faulconbridge ( j.faulconbridge@...) and Donald McNeill (D.Mcneill@...) in the form of an abstract acceptable to the AAG (see http://www.aag.org/annualmeetings/2008/papers.htm#abstracts ) by 9th October 2007.

PLACING GOLF; POLITICS, LANDSCAPES AND CULTURES

Session organiser:
Chris Perkins
Geography, School of Environment and Development, University of Manchester

CONTEXT:
A huge amount of scientific research explores the psychology of play, the design
of equipment, the planning of golfing assets or tournaments, and golf course
architecture, but the game is remarkably little studied by the critical social
sciences. Golf is painted by many as the archetypal elite western sport,
stereotypically played by rich white businessmen, on exclusive and artificial
courses. These stereotypes are often taken for granted, rather than being
interrogated and placed. In fact there is a huge variation in golfing practices
and the cultural politics of clubs, courses and golfing identities remains
under-researched.

This session offers the opportunity for turning a critical eye on the game, for
exploring different golfing contexts, assessing the changing significance of
the many different golfing geographies and weighing golf up against other
leisure pursuits and interpretive lenses. We invite theoretically informed
analyses exploring the cultural meanings and political economy of the game and
its places.

SUGGESTED THEMES
*Theoretical approaches to the game. Different philosophical positions taken
towards the place(s) and regulation of golf.

*The spaces of golf: landscapes and the political economy of style and golfing
taste. Natural and cultural links.

*Historical geographies of golfing change.

*Golf clubs and tournaments. The social, political and cultural context of
institutions through which golf is played.

* Scalar approaches to the sport: globalizing tendencies and local action. Cross
cultural contexts.

*Representations of the sport in film, the web, and other media.

*Power at play: gender, class, wealth, race and sexualities. Opposition to golf:
anti-golf movements, subversion within the game.

*Performative studies of golf: affect and golfing (e)motion.

*Contested and negotiated geographies of golfing identities.

Proposed papers in the form of a title and short abstract (250 words
maximum) should be submitted to Chris Perkins (c.perkins@...) by
30th September 2007. Further details on the paper requirements and
registration for the AAG meeting are at

Current Issues in Tourism: Special Issue on "animals in the tourism and leisure
experience"



Guest editor: Dr Neil Carr (Department of Tourism, University of Otago, P.O. Box
56, Dunedin, New Zealand. Email: ncarr@...)



Call for papers



Animals may be divided into wildlife, domesticated farm and working animal, pet,
companion animal, and assistance animal categories. Increasingly, each of these
types of creature plays a key role, both as attractions for human beings and
consumers of experiences, in the construction and success of tourism and leisure
environments. This increase in the importance of animals in the tourism and
leisure experience is related to changing patterns in humans' leisure and
tourism desires, the changing relationship between humans and animals, and the
evolution of concepts concerning the rights of animals. The growth in the
interest of leisured people and tourists in animals has been reflected in the
expansion of publications focused on 'wildlife' tourism and leisure,
incorporating the hunting of these animals for trophies (ranging from the whole
animal, to part of it, and the taking of photographs) and the education of
tourists and leisured people about the importance and needs of wildlife. This
work has been split between zoos and other areas where wildlife has been
enclosed, predominantly in locations removed from the natural habitats of the
wildlife, and nature-based tourism. However, the position of other segments of
the animal population in tourism and leisure experiences remains largely
under-studied. Furthermore, there is a need to integrate developing theories of
animal rights within the framework of tourism and leisure experiences that have
traditionally been designed to cater to the desires of the human population,
utilising animals as products rather than sentient creatures with individual
'rights' and 'needs' in the process.



Consequently, to expand the current understanding of the position of animals,
both wild and domesticated, in tourism and leisure experiences and the rights of
humans and animals in these experiences Current Issues in Tourism presents a
special issue on "animals in the tourism and leisure experience". This special
issue will contribute to the development of conceptual/theoretical models
concerning the relationship between tourists, leisured people, the tourism and
leisure industry, and animals. These models will aid the construction of
management strategies that ensure the rights and health of animals and humans in
the leisure and tourism experiences.



The guest editor invites interested researchers to contribute theoretical and/or
empirical papers related to the theme of this special issue. The topics of
potential manuscripts include, but are not limited to:



* Preservation of animals and their environments through tourism and leisure
* The role of zoos as tourist and leisure attractions and centres of ecological
education
* The presence of animals in tourism and leisure environments
* The relation between gastronomic tourism/leisure and the quality of life of
farm animals
* The social, health, and economic costs and benefits of domestic animals in the
leisure and tourism experience for humans
* Hunting within the tourism and leisure experience; the rights of animals
versus the needs of humans
* The changing role of the farm animal in the context of rural tourism - from
food product to tourist attraction
* What happens when human pleasures and animal needs meet



Submission Guidelines

1. In the first instance authors are invited to submit a 300 word abstract for
consideration for the special issue. Selected authors will then be asked to
produce a full paper based on their abstract
2. In addition to the submission guidelines associated with full papers for
Current Issues in Tourism (which can be found at
www.currentissuesintourism.com/submissions.html) the following guidelines should
be followed:
3. Electronic submissions should be sent by e-mail attachment to
ncarr@....
4. Ideally, papers should be sent as Microsoft Word files
5. Articles should normally be between 5,000 and 25,000 words in length. Please
note that Current Issues in Tourism especially welcomes substantive papers of
between 15,000 and 25,000 words in length.
6. All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by two independent assessors.

To: URBGEOG@...

Aether, an online, peer-reviewed journal, invites submission of papers
for a special issue focusing on the geographies of interactive visual
media and gaming, to be published in early 2008.

Although current research investigates other aspects of gaming, the
geographical element of gaming, such as exploration and interaction with
complex, three-dimensional environments, remains understudied.  And
while researchers of other disciplines have applied academic study to
games, geography offers a unique perspective to examine not only the
human element of gaming, but the spatial element as well.  In an attempt
to examine both the human and the spatial aspects of gaming, Aether
welcomes submissions addressing issues of gaming and space from both
geographers and researchers of other disciplines.  The issue will place
this topic not only within media and virtual geographies, but also
within the broader traditions of geography, as research into the
representation and social interaction of virtual environments draws on
examination of designed environments, representation, and discourse of
real landscapes, as well as examining the geographical experience of
interaction and exploration with virtual environments.  Further, this
special issue aims to enhance general academic understanding of
representation, social interaction, narrative, and play in interaction
with virtual landscapes.

Potential themes could include, but are not limited, to the following:
o    Representation in virtual environments
o    Community in online and offline gaming
o    Geopolitical discourse in interactive media
o    Gaming in the external environment, such as the home or school
o    Play and exploration in game environments
o    Narratives of virtual environments

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

GEOGRAPHY AND TOURISM MARKETING

SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL OF TRAVEL AND TOURISM MARKETING

In 1997 the late Martin Oppermann edited a special issue of JTTM that
provided an initial exploration of geographic issues in tourism marketing.
That volume brought together several themes, including spatial behavior,
visitor market segmentation, the concept of place, and distribution and
promotion channels. Since then, however, new challenges and solutions have
emerged for travel and tourism marketing. Market segmentation, place
marketing, GIS and informatics, and distribution channels are all still very
important geographic concepts that significantly influence marketing
activities. However, the scope, scale and geography of tourism and mobility
have changed significantly since 1997. The interface of geography and
tourism marketing now includes new forms of distribution (internet-based),
transportation (low-cost, low-fare airlines), destinations (security
awareness), technology (social media), services (location-based mapping),
and motivations (hybrid and fusion cultures). While geographic place and
space still matter, it can matter in different ways and through different
opportunities than in the past.

The purpose of this special issue is to explore current and emerging
synergies between geography and geographical concepts and tourism marketing.
The editors welcome research papers on related topics, including but not
necessarily limited to:

- Marketing space and place
- The relationship between service and location/geography
- Managing destinations: distribution channels and geographic dispersal
- Destination Marketing Organizations: managing change in turbulent
geopolitical environments
- Applications of GIS and spatial/location information systems
- Shifting flows: origin/destination pairings and networks
- Identifying and securing target markets
- Globalization, migration and diaspora factors in tourism marketing
- Tourist spatial behavior and travel decision-making in place marketing
- Evolving operational structures and geographic competitive advantage
- Regulatory environments and strategic marketing of places
- Global mobility flows and consequences for targeted or direct marketing
- New forms of place marketing, such as podcasts/blogs, social software and
Web 2.0websites

Submissions may be theoretically oriented or more applied in nature.

SubmissionGuidelines

Abstracts of between 1000 and 1200 words should be submitted no later than
31 May 2007. Authors will be notified of acceptance no later than 30 June.
Full papers to be submitted no later than 30 September 2007. Full papers
will be blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Depending on the response,
the articles may also be published in book format.

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Journeys of Expressions VI: Diaspora Community Festivals and Tourism

4-6 October 2007, York, United Kingdom

The enforced, encouraged or voluntary movement, migration and dispersion of people is reflected in the family backgrounds, life histories and cultural practices of communities in many countries, regions and cities worldwide. Mobilities associated with the processes of globalisation are demonstrably, if unevenly, contributing to an acceleration of migration for more or less permanent, official and legal settlement of people beyond their 'homelands'. Tourism has also grown substantially and unevenly in recent years, with tourists increasingly encouraged to attend and participate in 'exotic' and 'characteristically authentic' displays of community life in destinations visited. Such tourism typically features the packaging, promotion and consumption of diaspora community neighbourhoods, food and shopping and importantly festivals and cultural events. The relationships between diaspora communities, festivity, cultural events and tourism are therefore of considerable interest to academic researchers, as well as for arts, social, cultural and tourism policy makers and practitioners.

Issues addressed include:
- Defining and conceptualising diasporas in connection with festivals and cultural events;
- Histories of diaspora communities' mobilities and the transformation and adaptation of festivity and cultural events to new community circumstances and settings;
- Relationships between diaspora communities and the 'homeland' and expressions of collective memory through festivals and cultural events;
- The distribution and circulation of globalised diaspora festival forms � e.g. carnival, mela, Irish, Chinese, Jewish � religious and secular, established, emerging and contested;
- The role of diaspora festivals and cultural events in policies and programmes to promote community cohesion, crime reduction and anti-racism;
- Festivals, cultural events and the identities of diaspora community members - inter-generational issues;
- Festivals, cultural events and the multi- (inter-) cultural city;
- Settings and spaces for diaspora festivals and cultural events;
- Issues surrounding new and recently introduced diaspora community festivals and cultural events;
- Performing diaspora community arts through festivals; Diaspora tourism markets.

In the tradition of the Journeys of Expressions conference series, we wish to encourage an interdisciplinary debate on the suggested themes and welcome paper proposals from academics from various disciplinary backgrounds including: tourism studies, festival studies, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, cultural geography, politics, etc.

Dear RTS members,

In preparation for next year's annual meeting of the AAG, to be held in Boston,
all specialty groups have been asked to compile a list of proposed sessions. I
understand this will be featured in the AAG newsletter.

During our business meeting at the AAG-SF, the outgoing RTS Chair (Bob Pfister)
compiled a list of proposed sessions for next year. I am attaching that list
here. Please consider organizing a session (paper, illustrated paper/poster,
panel), and email me  your tentative session title.

More than 140 papers consisting of a "tourism" keyword were presented at the
AAG-SF. It might be a good idea to  encourage non-RTS AAG members to present
their paper at one of the RTS sponsored sessions. I would greatly appreciate
your suggestions as to how we could do this (i.e., reach out to them) more
effectively.

Best wishes

CALL FOR PAPERS

GEOGRAPHY AND TOURISM MARKETING

SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE
JOURNAL OF TRAVEL AND TOURISM MARKETING

In 1997 the late Martin Oppermann edited a special issue of JTTM that provided an initial exploration of geographic issues in tourism marketing. That volume brought together several themes, including spatial behavior, visitor market segmentation, the concept of place, and distribution and promotion channels. Since then, however, new challenges and solutions have emerged for travel and tourism marketing. Market segmentation, place marketing, GIS and informatics, and distribution channels are all still very important geographic concepts that significantly influence marketing activities. However, the scope, scale and geography of tourism and mobility have changed significantly since 1997. The interface of geography and tourism marketing now includes new forms of distribution (internet-based), transportation (low-cost, low-fare airlines), destinations (security awareness), technology (social media), services (location-based mapping), and motivations (hybrid and fusion cultures). While geographic place and space still matter, it can matter in different ways and through different opportunities than in the past.

The purpose of this special issue is to explore current and emerging synergies between geography and geographical concepts and tourism marketing. The editors welcome research papers on related topics, including but not necessarily limited to:

- Marketing space and place
- The relationship between service and location/geography
- Managing destinations: distribution channels and geographic dispersal
- Destination Marketing Organizations: managing change in turbulent geopolitical environments
- Applications of GIS and spatial/location information systems
- Shifting flows: origin/destination pairings and networks
- Identifying and securing target markets
- Globalization, migration and diaspora factors in tourism marketing
- Tourist spatial behavior and travel decision-making in place marketing
- Evolving operational structures and geographic competitive advantage
- Regulatory environments and strategic marketing of places
- Global mobility flows and consequences for targeted or direct marketing
- New forms of place marketing, such as podcasts/blogs, social software and Web 2.0 websites

Submissions may be theoretically oriented or more applied in nature.

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts of between 1000 and 1200 words should be submitted no later than 31 May 2007. Authors will be notified of acceptance no later than 30 June. Full papers to be submitted no later than 30 September 2007. Full papers will be blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Depending on the response, the articles may also be published in book format.

Adventures into Mexico
American Tourism beyond the Border

Edited by Nicholas Dagen Bloom

“North Americans first came to Mexico in force in 1846 as military invaders. Today, millions flood in each year as tourists, while thousands more live in Mexico as permanent or semi-permanent expatriates. Surprisingly, this vast human tide, bringing citizens of the world's wealthiest, most powerful nation into at least fleeting contact with a very different, highly complex, and far poorer society, has received scant scholarly attention. This fine collection of subtle and sophisticated essays goes a long way toward remedying that neglect. Highly recommended.”
—Paul S. Boyer, University of Wisconsin

Moving beyond the tequila-soaked clichés of Mexican tourism, this multifaceted book explores the influence and experiences of Americans in Mexico since World War II. The authors trace Mexico's growing role as an important refuge for Americans seeking not only sun and fun but also an alternative cultural and social model. And on the other side of the border, Mexican citizens and politicians have responded in creative and unexpected ways to growing numbers of migrants from their northern neighbor.

Delving into the rich and varied worlds of political exiles, students, art dealers, retiree/artist colonies, and tourist zones, this work illustrates why large numbers of Americans have been irresistibly drawn to Mexico for the past sixty years. Specialists in literature, anthropology, history, and geography bring their unique perspectives to the stories of both short- and long-term migrants. Together their essays illuminate the complex goals and impact of American tourism, offering a fascinating interpretation to all those interested in modern Mexican history, border studies, tourism, and retirement in Mexico.
