[ecrea] CFP: Special issue of interpersonal communication and social interaction

Call for Papers

Interpersonal Communication and Social Interaction

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.
