International Journal of Intangible Heritage

Call for Papers

International Journal of Intangible Heritage, Vol.3

Theme for Volume 3: all possible discourses on Intangible Heritage
Deadline: 31 July, 2007

The International Journal of Intangible Heritage is a refereed academic and professional journal for the intangible heritage sector. First published in May 2006, the Journal embraces theory and practice in relation to the study, preservation, interpretation and promotion of the intangible heritage. Over recent years, academics, researchers and professionals in many different parts of the cultural sector have increasingly been collecting, systematising, documenting and communicating the intangible heritage and in particular supporting its traditional cultural expressions.

The need for such an international publication was one of the fruitful outcomes of the 2004 Triennial General Conference of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, on the theme of `Museums and Intangible Heritage`. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Republic of Korea agreed to provided support for this Journal through the National Folk Museum of Korea, and following the establishment of a Journal Secretariat in the Museum and the convening of an international Editorial Board and Editorial Advisory Committee in late 2005, the first volume was published in May 2006 and its second one is due to come out in May 2007. The printed editions are supplemented by an electronic edition in PDF format at http://www.ijih.org.

The Journal welcomes offers of contributors covering all areas of intangible heritage studies and practice.

>From Volume 2 the Journal will carry three categories of contributions
as follows:(1) Main articles (refereed), normally between 4,000 and 6,000 words, excluding notes, bibliography and illustrations. An A4 size page of plain text averages around 800 words, and the printed paper will normally be allocated six, eight or ten journal pages according to length and illustrations. Prospective authors should consult the Editorial Board through the Editor-in-Chief if a longer contribution is proposed. (2) Short communications (refereed), of up to 2,000 words (two to four journal pages).(3) News and reviews items of up to 1,000 words on conferences, publications or projects (which will be subject to normal editing by not formal refereeing.)

For Volume 3 and subsequent annual volumes we are now seeking suitable contributions of all three categories: main papers, short communications,and news and reviews, on any aspect of the intangible.
Manuscripts submitted should not be under consideration by any other journal or publisher, nor should they have been previously published elsewhere. If a manuscript is based on a lecture, conference paper or talk, specific details should accompany the submission. There are detailed Instructions to Contributors on the preparation of manuscripts and illustrations in previous volumes of the Journal (in both the printed and electronic editions) and these are available on the Journal website.

Paper proposals for the Journal can be submitted to the Journal
Secretariat:
(postal address below) at any time. However, to be considered for the next volume (2008) contributions must be received by 31st July, 2007 so that they can be considered by the Editorial Board at its next meeting.
