Call for Papers: The Imaginative Landscape of AI (Special Section of the 
International Journal of Communication)

Few technological developments spark more debate today than artificial 
intelligence. From promises of human advancement to fears of existential 
risk, AI generates a multitude of visions, conflicts, and societal 
debates. This “imaginative landscape of AI” goes beyond technical 
issues, encompassing political struggles, social movements, and ideas 
about the future of communication and society.

The International Journal of Communication is launching a Special 
Section on The Imaginative Landscape of AI: Visions, Positions, 
Conflicts. The editors of this Special Section, Andreas Hepp and Nathan 
Schneider, invite submissions that empirically explore emerging 
imaginaries, ideological positions, and conflicts surrounding AI.

Key deadlines:

   • Abstracts (500 words) due December 1, 2025
   • Notification of acceptance by January 1, 2026
   • Full manuscripts due May 1, 2026
   • Publication in spring 2027

Authors are not required to pay for publication.
