Call for papers (sharing on behalf of a colleague):
Language and Culture in Small Hospitality Spaces: Perspectives on Talk, Place, and Social Life
(ed. by Todd J. Allen, Andrew J. Barke, Momoyo Shimazu, and Xiangdong Liu)
#LanguageAndFood #CulinaryLinguistics

Call for Chapters About the project: We invite chapter proposals for an edited volume on the social and cultural significance of small hospitality spaces, including independently operated or community-oriented bars, pubs, cafĆ©s, coIee shops, tea houses, izakayas, neighbourhood restaurants, and related venues (see, for example, Allen, 2025; Allen & Liu, 2024, 2025; Liu & Allen, 2022). Such establishments are often understood as ā€œthird placesā€: everyday settings located between home and work that support sociability, informal public life, and local connection (Oldenburg, 1989). They can also be viewed as part of a communityā€™s social infrastructure, providing spaces in which people encounter others, sustain social ties, and participate in local life (Klinenberg, 2018; Farrer, 2022, 2024). Although commercial in form, small hospitality spaces frequently exceed a purely transactional function. They provide settings for ordinary conversation, recognition, temporary respite, cultural exchange, and the development of familiarity over time. These venues provide a valuable setting for examining how hospitality is accomplished in practice (Allen & Liu, 2025b). Through interaction among owners, staI, regulars, and newcomers, talk, embodied conduct, routines, material arrangements, and shared expectations shape hospitable experience. This highlights the aIective and relational dimensions of commercial hospitality (Lugosi, 2008; Allen & Liu, 2025a), while showing how such spaces support identity negotiation, cultural exchange, boundary management, belonging, and community. This volume brings together work from sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, pragmatics, discourse analysis, ethnography, cultural studies, hospitality studies, tourism studies, intercultural communication, and urban studies. It is especially interested in research that connects close analysis of interaction with broader questions of place, mobility, representation, identity, neighbourhood life, and culturā€¦3. Cultural Representation, Mediatisation, and Spatial Aesthetics Examines how hospitality spaces are represented and designed through media, online platforms, visual culture, signage, interiors, atmosphere, authenticity, and neighbourhood identity. 4. Translocal Encounters and Comparative Perspectives Considers intercultural interaction, migration, multilingualism, cultural adaptation, and comparisons between hospitality spaces across cultural and geographical contexts. We welcome empirically grounded chapters and theoretically informed contributions that address the volumeā€™s central question: What do small hospitality spaces reveal about the relationship between language, culture, place, and social life? Contributions may explore these venues as sites of hospitality, participation, identity, community formation, intercultural encounter, cultural representation, mobility, and spatial or neighbourhood belonging, including how they are mediated, represented, and discussed through digital platforms and social media. Authors are welcome to submit more than one proposal, including proposals that engage with diIerent sections of the volume. Submission details Please submit: ā€¢ A chapter (unstructured) abstract of 500 words (maximum), excluding references ā€¢ A provisional chapter title ā€¢ A short biography of up to 100 words for each author ā€¢ Up to five keywords Abstracts should indicate the chapterā€™s central argument, theoretical or methodological approach, empirical material where relevant, and its fit with one of the four sections above. Please submit proposals via: https://forms.gle/cMCqf9AaAGZPQ53K9 Provisional Timeline: Date Stage 31 October 2026 Deadline for chapter proposals 15 November 2026 Notification of decisions 31 January 2027 Full chapter submission Februaryā€“March 2027 Double-blind peer review and editorial feedback 30 April 2027 Revised chapters due 31 May 2027 Final chapters due 31 July 2027 Completed manuscript submitted to the publisher All accepted chapteā€¦
