CFP: “Sport, Communication, and the Culture of Consumption”
Special Issue of American Behavioral Scientist
“Sport, Communication, and the Culture of Consumption”
Guest Editor: Lawrence A. Wenner, Loyola Marymount University
Submission Deadline: September 1, 2007
American Behavioral Scientist, one of the world’s preeminent interdisciplinary journals in the social and behavioral sciences, published by Sage Publications, is pleased to call for papers for a special issue focused on “Sport, Communication,
and the Culture of Consumption.” From media events such as the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games to global sport celebrities such as Tiger Woods and David Beckham to the transnational media and advertising corporations that drive them all, it is easy to recognize that the communication of sport has become a large engine of consumer
culture. Such mega-phenomena combine with the constant drip of sports communication, not only in specialty sports networks and in print and web publishing, but in interpersonal and group settings where we make sense of what sport and its promotional culture means. Through communication, the sensibilities of sport are often intertwined with decisions about what we drink and eat, what we drive, what we wear and the activities we choose to value. Because such decisions circulate meaning themselves, the influences of sport and its commodification become more even more ubiquitous and naturalized. Towards understanding such phenomena, this special issue seeks to examine emerging concerns and trends associated with the increasingly large social and cultural footprint of sport and its commodification. The issue explores the role and impact of communication and media in enabling sport and its culture to serve as an engine of consumer culture. The special issue especially seeks studies that examine how the shadow of sport fans out via marketing, advertising, and other promotional strategies to make connections with audiences and consumers. Also of
interest are studies that shed light on the role that norms and values that come with the commodification of sport play in interpersonal and group communication settings. There is special interest in hearing from scholars from diverse disciplinary
and geographic quarters on topics that assess the forces of globalization in the consumption culture of sport and consider its impacts in relation to race, gender, class, religion, age, and disability.
Manuscripts should not exceed 30 pages, including text, references, notes, tables, and figures, and must conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). In order to facilitate the blind, peer review process, no material identifying the author(s) of submitted manuscripts should appear anywhere other than the title page. The title page should include:
(a) the title of the paper;
(b) the author’s name, position, institutional affiliation, address, telephone and fax numbers, and email address;
(c) any acknowledgments, including the history of the
manuscript if any part of it has been presented at a conference or is derived from a thesis or dissertation;
(d) a word count. The first page of the manuscript itself should include the title of the paper, an abstract of not more than 200 words, and up to six key words for indexing.
Manuscripts must be received via email attachment in either MS-WORD (.doc) or Rich Text (.rtf) formats by September 1, 2007 at lwenner@lmu.edu. In the subject line of the email message, authors should specify “ABS Submission.” In the text of this email message the submitting author should provide:
a) complete contact information (address, telephone, fax, and email);
b) brief biographical summaries (full name, highest earned academic degree, institution granting that degree, and present academic or professional position)
for each author;
c) the title of the manuscript; and
d) a statement that the manuscript is the author(s)’s original work,
that it is submitted for consideration for this special issue of American Behavioral Scientist, that it is not presently under consideration at any other journal nor published elsewhere; and that the reference list is complete and in appropriate
form.

CFP: Play the Game 2007, Reykjavik
CALL FOR PAPERS
PLAY THE GAME 2007
- creating coalitions for good governance in sport
Reykjavik, Iceland, 28 October – 2 November 2007
Modern sport faces a number of challenges it cannot overcome on its own. Corruption, doping, political abuse, lifestyle changes and lack of sporting opportunities are among the global issues that require networking, dialogue and dedication from all stakeholders in sport.
As an academic, journalist, sports leader or manager your contribution is vital because
* Academics can play a key role by bringing comprehensive data, scientific methods and analytical skills into the process.
* Journalists have a special responsibility, partly because the media are an integral part of the environment of sport, and partly because the media strongly influence which issues that are raised in public and which that are not.
* Sports leaders and managers must balance a series of demands, some of which are crucial for the credibility of sport. Not only are they expected to provide economic growth, increased membership and bigger audiences, they must also guarantee ethical governance, strict anti-doping measures and social responsibility.
In order to identify the challenges and solutions and point to new ways to drive sport forward Play the Game invites you to join its 5th world communication conference in Reykjavik, Iceland from 28 October to 2 November 2007.
We call upon leading stakeholders in sport to contribute with your expertise and experience to this unique and independent forum for sports debate.
After the opening speech by the President of Iceland, Play the Game 2007 will focus on various dimensions of the overall theme
Creating coalitions for good governance in sport
We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract/storyline with relevance for this general headline or one of these related main themes:
* The autonomy of sport: Threat or promise?
* Children in sport: Love or labour?
* Mega-events: Frontrunners for sports globalisation?
* Chasing clients or providers: Anti-doping at a crossroad
* Fat chance: Can sport create a healthy society?
* The digital battle: Sport on demand versus the demands of sport
* No sweat? Sport, environment and global warming
* Open Forum
Please click here for more information about the themes.
Abstracts/Storylines will be peer reviewed by leading academics, journalists and managers in the Programme Committee in cooperation with the secretariat.
Selected speakers will be given a minimum 15 minute time slot for an oral presentation in parallel sessions (Open Forum min. 10 minutes), and some may be picked out for plenary sessions.
International launch of research projects
If you are preparing a major research project or a campaign, why not use Play the Game to launch the project internationally? Play the Game expects the participation of at least 100 skilled journalists representing media across the globe and is an ideal platform for reaching a worldwide audience and building lasting working relations.
Please contact Play the Game’s director Jens Sejer Andersen to discuss how coordinated action can be taken.
Submission deadline
The deadline for submission of abstracts/storylines is Monday 21 May 2007.
Conference package and fee
