About the Journal
Aims & Scope
The Cultural Economy and Heritage Studies Journal: Interdisciplinary Approaches is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to the critical exploration of the intersections between culture, economy, and heritage in contemporary and historical contexts. The journal provides a platform for innovative research that bridges the humanities, social sciences, and applied fields, highlighting how cultural practices, traditions, and heritage assets influence and are influenced by economic, political, and social processes.
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Cultural economy and creative industries
- Heritage management, policy, and governance
- Folklore and intangible cultural heritage in modern societies
- Economic dimensions of cultural practices, festivals, and rituals
- Social and solidarity economy in relation to cultural heritage
- Tourism, cultural landscapes, and sustainable development
- Digital heritage and technological transformations
- Theoretical and methodological approaches at the crossroads of folklore, anthropology, and economics
The journal particularly welcomes interdisciplinary and comparative studies, case analyses, and critical perspectives that expand the understanding of cultural heritage and its economic and social significance in diverse geographic and historical settings.
By promoting dialogue between folklore studies, economics, cultural heritage management, and related disciplines, the journal seeks to contribute to international debates on identity, memory, sustainability, and the evolving role of culture in shaping economic and social realities.
