Call for Papers

Communication technologies not only put people instantly in touch with
others around the world, but also have shaped up a new global culture.
This new lifestyle build above digital communication technologies is
observable in a wide range of areas from arts to politics and affects
our lives in a myriad of ways. Through the enormous improvements that
propel humanity from industrial society to information society, the
concept of “creativity” increasingly attracting attention in the way we
use technology. Alongside the rhetoric phrase “hand-in-hand development”
of technology and creativity, the potential that digital technologies
carry for enabling creativity reveals an even endless work frame.

The trilogy of communication, technology and creativity gives plenty of
scope for exploration: The conceptual approaches come along with the
questions on how technology and creativity endorse each other or how
technology and creativity transform the nature of communication. In
terms of its practical aspects, the creative acts and strategies of both
individuals and institutions constitute even a greater field of study,
depending on the increasing domination of digital tools and platforms.

The 2016 edition of Maltepe University's International Communication
