Read More Read more about Inaugural Issue Published!The editors wish to call for papers for the first issue of The International Journal of Traditional Arts.
In line with our journal’s focus, we wish to attract interesting articles from around the world with a focus on the contemporary practice and policy of traditional music, dance, drama, oral narrative and crafts. We define ‘traditional arts’ as artistic and creative practices that function as a marker of identity for a particular cultural group and that have grown out of their oral tradition or that have been newly created using characteristics derived from oral tradition (although we would also welcome submissions that look to expand such definitions). We are an interdisciplinary journal, interested in publishing high quality scholarship from across the following disciplines: ethnomusicology, cultural sociology, anthropology, ethnology, ethnochoreology, cultural policy, folklore, musicology, cultural studies, cultural economics, heritage and tourism studies or indeed beyond, that focus upon contemporary policy and practice in the traditional arts.
The key incentives for authors to publish in our journal are as follows:
The IJTA benefits from an international advisory panel, who form the advisory group for the Journal and a core group of reviewers (although we will also solicit reviews from experts beyond this group). The Journal is not tied to any large commercial publishing house, or to any academic or scholarly association, and the editors are free to make editorial decisions based solely upon the rigour, originality and potential significance of the work via the informed assessments of expert reviewers. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
yours sincerely,
The Editors, www.tradartsjournal.org
(Dr Simon McKerrell, Newcastle University & Dr Simon Keegan Phipps, University of Sheffield, UK).
