CFP: Cities in the Luso-Hispanic World

CALL FOR PAPERS
CITIES IN THE LUSO-HISPANIC WORLD

 

The Journal of Urban Cultural Studies is open to
scholarship that crosses the humanities and the social sciences
while giving priority to the urban phenomenon, in order to
better understand the culture(s) of cities. We are particularly
interested in essays that achieve some balance between
discussing an individual (or multiple) cultural/artistic
product(s) in depth (film, literature, music…) and also using
one of many social-science (geographical, anthropological,
sociological…) urban approaches to investigate a given city.

For this special volume, we are calling for papers
(7,000 to 10,000 words including references and notes)
grounded in urban processes in cities throughout the Luso-Hispanic
World.

To submit, send an abstract by August 1, 2016 to:
urbanculturalstudies@gmail.com

Deadline for finished papers: February 1, 2017
