Call for Papers for Street Art and Urban Creativity Volume 8 (2022)

2022-08-05

Since 2015, seven volumes (14 issues) of the journal Street Art and Urban Creativity (SAUC) have been published, with a total of 94 research articles, numerous essays, working papers and book reviews.

SAUC is now a first quartile journal (i.e., Q1) has an SJR in the top 25% of journals for at least one of its classified subdisciplines. SJR - SCImago Journal Rank is a measure of scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from.

As a part of this year’s call for submissions to the journal, we invite contributions that reflect on the role of street art, graffiti and general urban creativity studies on the current "Liminal" times. Questions of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Were and how do urban creativity, graffiti and street art relate with a polarized world?

  • Which/whose are the limits of the graffiti and street art concepts and how this discussion contribute to the present global challenges?

  • What methodological experiments are you undertaking and what methods are being developed?

  • Which novel theoretical insights can we draw upon to bring the street art and graffiti studies forward?

In addition to this specific themed call for submissions we also welcome contributions that deal in a more general way with issues pertaining to urban creativity.

Submit your proposed contribution to the journal by 15 September 2022 via the submission page. 

 

PLEASE NOTE:

Closely connected to our journals is the Urban Creativity conference, which has been held annually in Lisbon since 2014. The topic of the conference paper can be the same as for the article proposed to the journal but may also be different. Having a paper accepted to the Urban Creativity conference does not guarantee subsequent publication in our journals, the submission need necessarily to be made by 15 September 2022 via the submission page.
