[Commlist] CfP: Temporalities in Non-Western and Western communication and media studies

*Temporalities in Non-Western and Western communication and media studies**
*
_Call for Submissions_

This edited volume of the postgraduate Journal “Networking Knowledge” of 
UK’s Media and Cultural Studies Association invites scholars from a 
broad range of disciplines to submit manuscripts on the theme of 
“Temporalities in Non-Western and Western communication and media studies”.

The topic had its peak with every rise of a new medium, with the work of 
Innis and McLuhan in the 70s in the rise of television at the forefront. 
With the emergence of the internet as an ubiquitous phenomenon, the 
topic of temporalities rises to new levels and emergent phenomena with 
scholar such as Sharma, Wajcman, Qiu and others at the forefront. This 
call for submissions therefore hopes to contribute towards this emerging 
discourse on social time and the digital. Moreover, a lack of 
temporalities communication and media research in the Global South is 
attributed to the prevalent Western tradition in communication research. 
This special section also serves to overcome the dominance of Western 
approaches in temporalities studies. Following these considerations, 
scholars are invited to submit their original manuscripts that address 
the following topics, among others:

-Comparative studies of temporalities in communication and media sciences

-Methodologies investigating journalism, advertisements, PR, political 
communication, cultural studies, feminist or queer approaches 
investigating media or communication temporalities;

-Time use research or time budget studies addressing communication and 
media (e.g. passive leisure (watching tv), multitasking (activities 
while watching tv), use of information and communication technologies)

-Dynamic methodologies and longitudinal studies;

-Memory or generational studies;

-Theory development or contrasting theory streams explaining 
temporalities in communication and media studies;

-Cross-cultural temporalities;

-Social time and the digital in educommunication and/or approaching the 
study of (new) media in the learning environment

-Other topics (please enquire with the editor in advance)

Theoretical as well as qualitative and quantitative approaches 
investigating such temporalities are welcome. Different disciplinary 
approaches can be pursued. Submissions must not have been previously 
published nor be under consideration by another publication. An extended 
abstract (up to 500 words) or a complete paper at the first stage of the 
reviewing process will be accepted. All the submissions must be received 
by *April 30, 2019*. If the extended abstract is accepted, the complete
