„2nd CALL FOR PAPERS





KOME, a new peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Hungarian 
Communication Society is currently seeking articles for its early 
issues. The journal aims to create a platform for an innovative 
interdisciplinary discourse in the field of communication studies, with 
a focal point on pure communication inquiry.



Since its formation, there has been a wide debate on the (in)famous 
first axiom of pragmatics which states that „one cannot not 
communicate”. Questions of whether the subsuming of any and all kind of 
information processing in a category called „communication” results in a 
viable approach towards actions performed by various entities, or simply 
suits in the flow of the inflation of concepts so precious concerning 
human existence and co-existences are rarely answered, if even posed in 
the field of communication and media studies. Nowadays, applied 
communication researches seems not to care much about the fact that no 
researches on communication and media can be carried out without having 
preconceptions about the nature of the phenomenon constituting its 
object. Which, considering their disciplinal boundaries, would be 
perfectly acceptable if not only a marginal fraction of theories, 
serving as the basis for those researches had linked their assertions on 
communication to the preconceived notions that determine the demarcation 
of the domain of communication and media studies through the selection 
and organization of different perceptions in a given intellectual framework.



The unidentified nature of such preconceptions is relevant not 
exclusively in metatheories but it may also make the adequacy of a given 
theory questionable in additional researches, which results in a 
situation where these theories can not provide a general answer to a 
couple of the most basic questions, namely, “what is communication” 
“what is media” “who is able to communicate” etc. Therefore KOME 
welcomes researches and discussions with an eye toward defining and 
theorizing communication and the media, and invite authors to submit 
manuscripts exploring basic questions of the field with plausible 
reasoning, but regardless of the theoretical framework or the chosen 
methodology.



For submission send your paper to the Editorial Office 
[(kome /at/ komejournal.com)]. Please follow KOME's instructions for authors.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 25, 2013.”
