*Info*
CIDA International is an international symposium organized jointly by 
the Communication Research Association (ILAD), which was founded in 
1989, and the Communication Faculty Deans Council (ILDEK), formed by the 
deans of communication faculties operating in Turkey and abroad since 
2000, depending on the Turkish higher education system. Two 
Communication Symposiums in the Digital Age were held, the first of 
which was hosted by Mersin University Faculty of Communication in 2018 
and the second one hosted by İzmir University of Economics Faculty of 
Communication in 2020. The third of the symposium, CIDA International 
2022, will be held under the leadership of Ankara University Faculty of 
Communication (ILEF), in addition to the communication faculties of 
Başkent University, Hacettepe University and Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli 
University, as well as the relevant departments and programs of Çankaya, 
Atılım, Ankara Social Sciences universities in Ankara. It will be held 
in Ankara on 12-15 October 2022 by an academic consortium consisting of 
departments.

*Call For Papers*
The dominant position of the field of communication in the regulation of 
social life and its centuries-old history as an academic discipline 
places it among the main determinants of the digital age. It is a 
well-known fact that studies on the general and sub-branches of the 
field have started to meet at the intersection of digitalization in the 
historical process and that digitalization-oriented approaches are next 
to what traditional and canonical studies have brought to the 
communication literature. While drawing attention to an important 
question whether this situation signifies a paradigmatic transformation 
in the field of communication or is it just a moment that emerges in the 
historical flow; a conjunctural situation also stands out, in which the 
extent of digitalization reminds of infrared, which is essentially an 
outdated technical expansion. This technology, in which information is 
coded and transferred to the receiver with the use of a led light, has 
already been replaced by means of wireless and long-distance access, but 
the excitement in the first reaction of humanity to this transmission, 
where it is not seen but the results can be seen, still keeps the 
acceleration of the digital age from the Matrix to the Metaverse 
universe alive.

The fantastic content of the narratives that present archaic projections 
about the transmission of knowledge, that the knowledge currently on 
earth may point to an ontological entity that we somehow decoded and 
revealed over time, not that we found later, but that was encoded in our 
cells; doesn't it draw a remarkable framework in terms of signifying the 
continuity in the transfer of information from one place to another, 
even though it is parallel to what the lens held to the unknowns of the 
universe can show? Although this speculation in itself “how did it 
happen?” doesn't answer the question, the digitization of information 
transfer encourages questions about who and what it was that brought 
forth the Metaverse universe after The Matrix and Black Mirror.

While approaching the development of the possibilities of technique from 
a deterministic and essentialist point of view, the questions that those 
in the aforementioned universes start to act independently of their 
creators or how they may feel towards those who created them; does it 
announce that the human is replacing God? The proposition that there is 
no time period in which predictions turn into so many new facts reveal 
so much foresight is strengthened by the fact that fictional contents 
have a factual nature gradually, and that there is no limit to what has 
been predicted over what has happened.

While CIDA International 2022 has the identity of an ancient time agora 
in a digital age where questions directed to the conventional discussion 
areas of communication and evaluations from other disciplines that place 
the concept of communication at its center, its participants and 
stakeholders in this age, who and what the subject is, through digital 
universes that look like portable temples calls for questioning. In this 
context, it presents a clear and provocative call to examine the facts 
and make comments on what is predicted.

Organized by the academic consortium formed under the leadership of 
Ankara University Faculty of Communication (ILEF), CIDA International 
2022 will be held in Ankara on 12-15 October 2022. The course of the 
COVID-19 epidemic will be decisive, but face-to-face symposium is 
prioritized. In this context, the calendar of CIDA International 2022, 
where online presentations can be made in mandatory cases, starts on 
February 1, 2022.

*Submission Guidelines*
CIDA International 2022 is open to the work of academics and 
postgraduate researchers in the field of communication, as well as 
evaluations from other disciplines that place the concept of 
communication at its core. Applications will be accepted with extended 
abstracts between 900 - 1000 words. The subject, purpose, method and 
findings of the study should be clearly stated in the abstracts. Other 
than these, references and bibliography should not be used.

*Venue*
CIDA International 2022, where online presentations can be made in 
mandatory cases, will be held in Ankara on 12-15 October 2022. The
