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:
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 <[log in to unmask]> if a longer contribution is proposed.
Short communications (refereed), of up to 2,000 words (two to four journal
pages).
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 at
<http://www.ijih.org/instructions.htm>.

 

Paper proposals for the Journal can be submitted to the Journal Secretariat:
<[log in to unmask]> (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. Papers should be in electronic format, wherever possible should be
submitted via e-mail. The submitted text (including an Abstract except for
News and Reviews items), should be sent as an attachment to your e-mail
message. Texts should then be saved and submitted in unjustified text

in the text. Electronic images of the required quality (see the Instructions
to Contributors), should be submitted as separate files. Original

these should be included.
