> Special Issue of Empedocles, guest edited by Pekka Isotalus 
> (University of Tampere) and Owen Hargie (University of Ulster).
>
> There is growing need for a European publication platform for 
> interpersonal communication and social interaction research and 
> theory development. In order to give the European communication 
> research community an opportunity to assess the scope of such a 
> platform, Empedocles: European Journal for the Philosophy of 
> Communication will publish a special guest-edited issue on 
> interpersonal communication and social interaction, which could also 
> be the starting point for a new journal dedicated to this area of 
> research: European Journal of Human Communication.
>
> As guest editors for a special edition of Empedocles to be published 
> in December 2011, we welcome proposals for articles that explore 
> contacts and bonds between people, whether in private or public 
> contexts, whether maintained face-to-face or mediated via 
> communication technologies. The articles can focus on interpersonal 
> relationships; group and team communication; conversational 
> organisation; verbal and nonverbal communication; language and 
> social interaction; intercultural dimensions; public speaking; radio 
> and television performance; rhetoric; argumentation; persuasion and 
> mutual influence; communicative competence and interpersonal skills; 
> ethnography of speaking; and, other related approaches to human 
> social interaction.
>
> We encourage qualitative approaches to research, while also 
> encompassing quantitative inquiry. For this special issue, 
> theoretical, evaluative or interpretative studies are especially welcome.
>
> The journal publishes double-blind peer reviewed articles 
> (6,000-8,000 words). Submissions should be sent by email before June 
> 15, 2011, to guest editors Pekka Isotalus ((pekka.isotalus /at/ uta.fi)) 
> and Owen Hargie ((ODW.Hargie /at/ ulster.ac.uk)).
> Empedocles uses the MHRA referencing system. Please download the 
> notes for contributors for further information.
