Call for Publications - KOME

KOME, a new peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Hungarian
Communication Studies Association is looking for articles for its
forthcoming issue. The journal aims to create a platform for an
innovative interdisciplinary discourse in the field of communication
and media studies, with a focal point on pure communication inquiry.

Since its formation, there has been a wide debate on the (in)famous
first axiom of pragmatics which states that„one cannot not
communicate”. Questions of whether the subsuming of any and all
kind of information processing in a category called
„communication” results in a viable approach towards
actions performed by various entities, or simply suits in the flow of
the inflation of concepts so precious concerning human existence and
co-existences are rarely answered, if even posed in the field of
communication and media studies. Nowadays, applied communication
researches seems not to care much about the fact that no researches on
communication and media can be carried out without having
preconceptions about the nature of the phenomenon constituting its
object. Which, considering their disciplinal boundaries, would be
perfectly acceptable if not only a marginal fraction of theories,
serving as the basis for those researches had linked their assertions
on communication to the preconceived notions that determine the
demarcation of the domain of communication and media studies through
the selection and organization of different perceptions in a given
intellectual framework.
The unidentified nature of such preconceptions is relevant not
exclusively in metatheories but it may also make the adequacy of a
given theory questionable in additional researches, which results in a
situation where these theories can not provide a general answer to a
couple of the most basic questions, namely,“what is
communication”“what is media”“who is able to
communicate” etc. Therefore KOME welcomes researches and
discussions with an eye toward defining and theorizing communication
and the media, and invite authors to submit manuscripts exploring
basic questions of the field with plausible reasoning, but regardless
of the theoretical framework or the chosen methodology.

For submission please send your paper to the Editorial Office:
