[Commlist] CfP: Temporalities in Non-Western and Western communication and media studies

Thu Mar 21 21:29:17 GMT 2019





*Temporalities in Non-Western and Western communication and media studies**
*
_Call for Submissions_

This edited volume of the postgraduate Journal “Networking Knowledge” of UK’s Media and Cultural Studies Association invites scholars from a broad range of disciplines to submit manuscripts on the theme of “Temporalities in Non-Western and Western communication and media studies”.

The topic had its peak with every rise of a new medium, with the work of Innis and McLuhan in the 70s in the rise of television at the forefront. With the emergence of the internet as an ubiquitous phenomenon, the topic of temporalities rises to new levels and emergent phenomena with scholar such as Sharma, Wajcman, Qiu and others at the forefront. This call for submissions therefore hopes to contribute towards this emerging discourse on social time and the digital. Moreover, a lack of temporalities communication and media research in the Global South is attributed to the prevalent Western tradition in communication research. This special section also serves to overcome the dominance of Western approaches in temporalities studies. Following these considerations, scholars are invited to submit their original manuscripts that address the following topics, among others:

-Comparative studies of temporalities in communication and media sciences

-Methodologies investigating journalism, advertisements, PR, political communication, cultural studies, feminist or queer approaches investigating media or communication temporalities;

-Time use research or time budget studies addressing communication and media (e.g. passive leisure (watching tv), multitasking (activities while watching tv), use of information and communication technologies)

-Dynamic methodologies and longitudinal studies;

-Memory or generational studies;

-Theory development or contrasting theory streams explaining temporalities in communication and media studies;

-Cross-cultural temporalities;

-Social time and the digital in educommunication and/or approaching the study of (new) media in the learning environment

-Other topics (please enquire with the editor in advance)

Theoretical as well as qualitative and quantitative approaches investigating such temporalities are welcome. Different disciplinary approaches can be pursued. Submissions must not have been previously published nor be under consideration by another publication. An extended abstract (up to 500 words) or a complete paper at the first stage of the reviewing process will be accepted. All the submissions must be received by *April 30, 2019*. If the extended abstract is accepted, the complete manuscript must be received by *August 31, 2019*.
