Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies

Robert L. Ivie, Editor

A Call for Manuscripts

We are pleased to invite scholars worldwide who are working in the broadly defined field of critical cultural studies to submit manuscripts to the National Communication Association’s newest journal, Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, published by Routledge.  The journal’s editorial board consists of leading scholars in a wide array of communication and related fields and from a variety of countries. 

Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies publishes scholarship for an international readership on communication as a theory, practice, technology, and discipline of power.  The journal features critical inquiry that cuts across academic boundaries to focus on social, political, and cultural practices from the standpoint of communication.  It promotes critical reflection on the requirements of a more democratic culture by giving attention to subjects such as, but not limited to, class, race, ethnicity, gender, ability, sexuality, polity, public sphere, nation, environment, and globalization.  Essays are selected to be academically sound, rhetorically self-reflexive, intellectually innovative, and conceptually relevant to democratic concerns in their orientation toward communication and culture.  Collectively, they analyze historical contexts, material and economic conditions, institutional settings, political initiatives, practices of resistance, and/or the theoretical significance of discursive formations in everyday life.  In addition to research essays, CCCS publishes one or more reviews each issue of major new books.  The journal is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December. 

Manuscripts should be formatted in Microsoft Word in a PC-compatible version (Mac users making sure to utilize the most current versions of Word and to end their file names in “.doc”) and submitted electronically as attachments to cccs@indiana.edu   E-mail messages to which manuscripts are attached should contain each author’s name, affiliation, e-mail address, postal address, and voice and fax telephone numbers.  To facilitate the blind, peer review process, no indicators of authorship should appear in the manuscript itself.  Provide an abstract of 100 words or less, including a list of five suggested key words.  Manuscripts should be prepared in 12-point font, should be double-spaced throughout, and should not exceed 9,000 words including endnotes.  The journal adheres to the Chicago Manual of Style with endnotes.  Manuscripts submitted to CCCS must not be under review elsewhere or have appeared in any other published form.  Upon notification of acceptance, authors must assign copyright to the National Communication Association and provide copyright clearance for any copyrighted material.
