CFP: Special issue: Cultural Foundations of Sport & Tourism
Call for Papers
Journal of Sport & Tourism
Special issue: Cultural Foundations of Sport & Tourism
Deadline for submission: 1 April 2009
Purpose of the special issue:
The activities and interactions of tourists and sportspeople implicate matters of culture. Anthropologists have consequently paid considerable attention to tourism , while others have considered the cultural foundations of sport. Their work has been complemented by anthropological work on events, and by efforts to bring the culture concept to bear on sport subcultures. Yet, sport tourism researchers have barely capitalized on the potentials enabled by these significant intellectual foundations.
This special issue seeks high quality papers that address any issue raised by the intersection of culture with sport and tourism. Papers can be conceptual or empirical, but should contribute to advancing theoretical and/or practical considerations having to do with the cultural foundations of sport tourism.
Requests for further information and expressions of interest should be directed to the Guest Editor for this special issue, Professor Laurence Chalip (LChalip@mail.utexas.edu)
Manuscripts should be sent electronically as an eMail attachment directly to LChalip@mail.utexas.edu. All submissions will be subject to JS&T’s standard double-blind peer review process. Authors should prepare manuscripts according to JS&T’s instructions for authors available on the journal webpages: www.tandf/journals/titles/14775085.asp

CFP: The Consumption and the Representation of Lifestyle sport
Second Call for papers: Special Issue of Sport and Society,
‘The Consumption and the Representation of Lifestyle sport’. Extended deadline
The deadline for this special issues has now been extended to 30th October 2008.
Guest editor Belinda Wheaton, University of Brighton
This special issue seeks to explore the changing representation and consumption of lifestyle sport in the twenty-first century.
Since their emergence in the 1960s, lifestyle sports (also termed action sport, extreme sports, adventure sports, and so on) have experienced unprecedented growth both in participation, and in their increased visibility across public and private space. In Britain, for example, the BBC draws on imagery of street-running, surfing and kite flying between programmes to ‘identify’ the station, and in the USA extreme sport has featured on a postal stamp (Rinehart & Sydor, 2003, p. 1). The allure and excitement of lifestyle sport has been appropriated to sell every kind of product imaginable, and they have been the focus of numerous ‘mainstream’ television shows and films such as Blue Crush, Stone Monkey, Kids, Jackass and Dogtown and Z-Boys that present the danger but also the vertigo inspired by the sports. Specialist magazines such as On the Edge, Boards, Carve and Wavelength fill newsagent’s shelves, and are sustained by a multi-million dollar industry selling commodities and lifestyles to ‘hard-core’ aficionados and grazers alike. Furthermore, these representations of lifestyle sports provide images of ‘adventure’ and risk, demonstrating what Beck describes as the importance of experiencing danger and ‘living life to the full’ in a ‘risk society’. Possible topics for papers in the context of representation might include:
o Representations of lifestyle sports through place and space: in film, subcultural media, television, advertising.
o The relationship between global and local representations
o Ethics and values expressed in subcultural and mainstream representations of adventure sports
o Lifestyle sports and new media technologies.
o Media Parody - extreme ironing, extreme housework.
o The meaning and representation of risk in late modernity.
o How lifestyle sports imagery reproduces neo-liberal ideologies of the body, heath and consumer-citizenship.
o What part does the media and internet play in representing these activities and their cultures?
Lifestyle Sports cultures are also enjoying a period of unprecedented growth and transformation. As outlined in Wheaton (2004) participation in many lifestyle sports continues to grow, outpacing the growth of a number of ‘big league’ traditional sports, both among the ‘traditional’ consumer markets of (white western) teenage boys, and increasingly among older men, women and girls. A vibrant and highly profitable global and local consumer industry is driving these activities, and has seen rapid expansion and diversification, with consumer products ranging from board and decks to the ever expanding ‘sport style.’ Local, national, trans-national and global networks of lifestyle sports ‘subcultures’ have traditionally been linked by travel and the specialist sub cultural media, predominantly magazines and videos/DVDs. Yet increasingly these media forms have been supported and superseded by the internet with enthusiasts, clubs and commercial organisations setting up websites and chartrooms providing information about venues, news and local activities. However, these shifts have lead to changes in the meanings, experiences and identities of lifestyle sport cultures, particularly as participants attempt to retain their subcultural identities in the face of increasing popularity and widespread commercialisation. Central questions include:
o How have process of globalisation impacted the cultures, identities, and industries of lifestyle sport? Are there differences locally, nationally and trans-locally? Do lifestyle sports participants display a post-national cosmopolitan disposition? What is the relationship of lifestyle sport to (the politics of) environmentalism?
o Are these activities subcultures or are formulations such as neo-tribes more useful ways of conceptualising these sporting cultures?
o What is the relationship between the mass and micro medias, and between these different medias and the sports lived cultures?
o How are the experiences of identity and difference changing in this period of rampant commercialisation? Have they been wholly appropriated or are there new and different sites and expressions of subcultural ‘resistance’?
o How is inclusion, exclusion and the discourse of subcultural authenticity related to difference, particularly the intersections of gender, ‘race’, (hetro)sexuality, disability and age?
o Emerging lifestyle sports such as parkour, and kitesurfing and their interaction with popular culture.
o What are the experiences of those on the periphery of the subcultures, be they weekend warriors, grazers, ‘surf widow’s, spectators, or those who experience (many) lifestyle sport/s through tourism and others forms of commercial provision.
Papers on any aspect of lifestyle sport representation or consumption are welcome but we are particularly interested in papers that examine lifestyle sport outside of the global ‘core’.

A vibrant and highly profitable global and local consumer industry is driving these activities, and has seen rapid expansion and diversification, with consumer products ranging from board and decks to the ever expanding ‘sport style.’ Local, national, trans-national and global networks of lifestyle sports ‘subcultures’ have traditionally been linked by travel and the specialist sub cultural media, predominantly magazines and videos/DVDs. Yet increasingly these media forms have been supported and superseded by the internet with enthusiasts, clubs and commercial organisations setting up websites and chartrooms providing information about venues, news and local activities. However, these shifts have lead to changes in the meanings, experiences and identities of lifestyle sport cultures, particularly as participants attempt to retain their subcultural identities in the face of increasing popularity and widespread commercialisation. Central questions include:
o How have process of globalisation impacted the cultures, identities, and industries of lifestyle sport? Are there differences locally, nationally and trans-locally? Do lifestyle sports participants display a post-national cosmopolitan disposition? What is the relationship of lifestyle sport to (the politics of) environmentalism?
o Are these activities subcultures or are formulations such as neo-tribes more useful ways of conceptualising these sporting cultures?
o What is the relationship between the mass and micro medias, and between these different medias and the sports lived cultures?
o How are the experiences of identity and difference changing in this period of rampant commercialisation? Have they been wholly appropriated or are there new and different sites and expressions of subcultural ‘resistance’?
o How is inclusion, exclusion and the discourse of subcultural authenticity related to difference, particularly the intersections of gender, ‘race’, (hetro)sexuality, disability and age?
o Emerging lifestyle sports such as parkour, and kitesurfing and their interaction with popular culture.
o What are the experiences of those on the periphery of the subcultures, be they weekend warriors, grazers, ‘surf widow’s, spectators, or those who experience (many) lifestyle sport/s through tourism and others forms of commercial provision.
Papers on any aspect of lifestyle sport representation or consumption are welcome but we are particularly interested in papers that examine lifestyle sport outside of the global ‘core’.

CFP: Special Issue on “International Sports Marketing”
Call for Papers
Journal of Business & Industrial Marketing
Special Issue on “International Sports Marketing”
Guest Editors: Vanessa Ratten and Hamish Ratten
http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.htm?id=660
Sport is an international business orientated industry. Sporting organizations offer a number of marketing campaigns to businesses and organizations in order to compete globally. An important part of the sport industry is retaining and attracting businesses and organizations (Farrelly and Quester, 2005). Sports clubs do this by offering a variety of different marketing ideas designed to attract different business demographics. It is vital for academics and practitioners in the sports industry to understand which business and industrial orientated factors are the most successful in encouraging business and organizational loyalty. The aim of this special journal issue is to understand in more detail the way business and industrial marketing works in the sports industry.
In the United States sport is the eleventh largest industry and impacts many other sectors such as technology and education (Danylchuk, Doherty, Nicholson and Stewart, 2008). Much of the marketing that occurs in the sport industry is business related as sports teams such as those in the NBA, NHL and MLB market their products and services to other businesses (Irwin, Zwick and Sutton, 1999). Likewise non-profit sporting organizations and universities market themselves to corporate sponsors. The way sporting companies and organizations utilize marketing strategies to businesses differs from the way they interact with the general public (Wolfe, Meenaghan and O’Sullivan, 2002).
Often the business and industrial marketing that occurs in sporting organizations revolves around international brand management and global networks (Olkkonen, 2001). International business-to-business marketing is an important part of the global economy (Johnston and Spekman, 1995). We hope the special journal issue will encourage debate on issues related to business and industrial marketing from diverse sporting industry contexts from around the world. Particularly interesting is the difference between business-to-business marketing in emerging and developed economies (Pels, Brodie and Johnston, 2004).
Papers from academics and practitioners in the sports field are sought. The special issue will examine how a company or organization in the sports industry or involved with sports markets its goods/services/ideas to another company or organization. Papers that take an interdisciplinary perspective in understanding business-to-business and industrial marketing in the sports industry are encouraged. Contributions to this special issue should present new theories or research about business and industrial marketing in the sports context. All types of research paradigms including case studies, qualitative and quantitative analysis, conceptual and empirical research are welcome. Examples of possible topics that will be examined in the special industry include:
What the quality of business-to-business marketing is in the sports industry?
How to plan business-to-business marketing in sports?
What are international comparative examples of sports business-to-business marketing?
How to market successfully in sports?
What are the latest and most innovative business-to-business marketing practices in sports?
What important insights into sports-based business-to-business marketing behavior are there?
How does non-profit business-to-business marketing differ to profit business-to-business marketing in sports?
What competition in sports does there exist between business-to-business marketing firms?
What distribution channels are involved in selling sports related products and services to other businesses?
What is the role of media distribution in sports?
What does new product development between sporting organizations and other businesses contain?
How to organize sports marketing for international growth?
What types of relationship marketing exists in sports?
How can you manage a successful salesforce in sports?
What is the buying culture of sports related products?
Process for the submission of papers:
Papers submitted must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication. Submissions should be approximately 6,000 words in length. Submissions to the Journal of Business and Industrial Marketing must be made using the ScholarOne Manuscript Central system: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jbim . A separate title page must be uploaded containing the title, author/s, and contact information for the author(s). For additional guidelines please see the “Notes for Contributors” from a recent issue of the Journal of Business and Industrial Marketing, or see the home page at www.emeraldinsight.com/jbim.htm . Suitable articles will be subjected to a double-blind review; hence authors should not identify themselves in the body of the paper.
