[ecrea] cfp - KOME: An Internatonal Journal of Pure Communication Inquiry

KOME: An Internatonal Journal of Pure Communication Inquiry, 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.
