[ecrea] CFP – Communication and New Materialism

Sat Dec 01 21:21:53 GMT 2012




REMINDER: CFP –  Communication and New Materialism

communication +1 invites submissions for its upcoming issue, Communication and New Materialism.



Given the recent emergence of new perspectives in critical theories, such as Object-Oriented Ontology, Speculative Realism, Alien Phenomenology, Flat Ontology, and associated research programs, this issue seeks to explore the implications of these perspectives for the study of communication and media. We use the term, New Materialism, broadly to include all the aforementioned as well as other related perspectives in the hope to be as inclusive as possible and to encourage diverse voices and analytic angles that focus on the forms and processes of mediation across different fields. We are particularly interested in works that engage with the theoretical underpinnings of New Materialism to challenge the text-centered approaches in media and communication studies.



Please submit short proposals of no more than 500 words by December 7th, 2012 to (communicationplusone /at/ gmail.com).



Upon invitation, full text submissions will be due April 5th, 2013, with expected publication in July, 2013.



About the Journal

The aim of communication +1 is to promote new approaches to and open new horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship, communication +1 sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to create is a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these experiments.



communication +1 is an open access journal supported by University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries and the Department of Communication
