[ecrea] cfp - Hungarian Communication Society journal KOME

CALL FOR PAPERS


KOME, a new peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by the Hungarian 
Communication Society is
currently seeking articles for its early issues. The journal aims to 
create a platform for an innovative
interdisciplinary discourse in the field of communication 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 send your paper to the Editorial Office 
[(kome /at/ komejournal.com)]. Please follow
KOME's instructions for authors.
DEADLINE: December 25, 2016.
