*Catalan Journal of Communication & Cultural Studies*
Call for articles for the second issue*
Deadline June 15th 2009*
The Catalan Journal of Communication & Cultural Studies is launching a CALL
FOR ARTICLES for its SECOND ISSUE, which will be published in SPRING 2010
The Catalan Journal of Communication & Cultural Studies (CJCS) is committed
to publishing research and scholarship on the analysis of media and culture.
The journal pays particular attention to the Catalan cultural and media
systems or to any broader issue in this field of specific interest from a
Catalan perspective.
CJCS's approach is multidisciplinary, publishing articles dealing directly
or through a comparative frame with media and communication history, media
and cultural policies, audience and reception studies, cultural and national
identity, media discourses, intercultural communication, sport and media,
language and media language uses, new media and the internet, gender
studies, cinema, popular culture, media and cultural industries, public
relations, advertising, tourism and cultural heritage.
We invite contributions from scholars, researchers and professionals from
around the world working in the above mentioned fields who wish to publish
their works in a journal with a truly international scope. We especially
encourage young researchers and doctoral students to submit articles.
The journal will publish not only articles bearing directly on Catalan
society but also those offering comparative research between Catalonia and
any other community which shares some of its key cultural and societal
problems with Catalonia. Articles should be between 6,000-8,000 words. They
must be based on original research or offer well grounded theoretical
contributions, they must be written in a clear and concise style in English
and they must not be under consideration by any other publication. All
articles are submitted to a blind peer reviewing process.
CJCS will also include research notes, short commentaries, reflections on
current affairs, cultural and media events, short interviews, etc. Experts,
leading scholars, experienced professionals and senior researchers are
invited to submit their proposals which will be selected in accordance with
academic criteria and depending on the availability of space. CJCS will also
publish short book reviews, in English and commissioned by the Editors,
about leading editorial projects in Catalan/Spanish or English/French in
keeping with the aims and scope of the journal.
