AIMS & SCOPE

Published online once a year, the Journal of Festive Studies draws together academics from all disciplines who share an interest in festivities, including holiday celebrations, family rituals, carnivals, religious feasts, processions and parades, civic commemorations, etc.

We welcome any contributions related to festive studies on a rolling basis. Please check our announcements page for calls for papers related to special topics to be addressed in upcoming issues.

The journal encourages submissions of original research and analysis from both established and emerging scholars. In addition to traditional academic essays, it invites contributions that incorporate digital media such as visualizations, interactive timelines and maps, video and imagery. Occasional thematic issues or sections will enable multi-faceted perspectives on a topic.
