BRICS: New challenges in the field of communication
Deadline for submission: 31.1.2012
The global division of power is undergoing rapid transition. Balances are changing, with new dynamics leading to shifts in power. Whereas much of the Western focus has remained on the meetings of the G8 and G20, there has been less recognition that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are already organizing their fourth summit. They represent a driving force behind the emerging markets, becoming an increasingly important geopolitical counterweight to the West. The BRICS states are home to some 40% of the world’s population, and, with their approx. 25% share of world production, have been demonstrating impressive economic growth, despite the global financial crisis. This shift in economic and political power also influences the global media culture. Therefore the time is ripe to extend the focus of communications studies to encompass these important and controversial developments.
Articles submitted to this special issue of Medien Journal should begin with a brief survey of the communications landscape in one or more of the BRICS countries, before dealing in greater detail with selected aspect(s) of relevance to the study of media and communications.
Topics may include:
- Intercultural and transcultural aspects of transboundary communication, cooperation and collaboration, as well as structural gaps and frictions
- Issues relevant within the broader academic fields of international/global communication
- Media development in the BRICS countries, and international relations (including the ’big brother‘ problematique)
- Current media-economic and media-political issues
- Cultural comparison and analysis of themes like the role of the media in society today, cultural change and identity construction
- Transformation and cultural dynamics in the BRICS countries
Criteria for submission:
- Original texts not previously published elsewhere
- Manuscripts submitted to Medien Journal should not be published elsewhere until the peer-review process has been finished
- Papers between 3,000 and 4,500 words (approx. 10–12 pages)
- Submissions must contain an abstract (10 lines) and a brief biographical note on each author (max. 3 lines)
- Text has to be submitted in English – submissions must follow APA style guides
(see www.apastyle.org). - Deadline for submission: 31.1.2012
This issue of Medien Journal, the double-blind, peer-reviewed quarterly journal of the Austrian Communication Association (ÖGK), will be published on the occasion of the 20st anniversary of the founding of the transcultural communication division at the Department of Communication, University of Salzburg.
Please send submissions to the editor:

Like the modern layout. I was pleased with this article. Many thanks for a excellent blog post.
Just added this blog to my favorites. I enjoy reading your blogs and hope you keep them coming!
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I have incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my website .
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.
I must express some appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from such a matter. After researching throughout the world wide web and obtaining ideas which were not pleasant, I figured my life was gone. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the difficulties you have resolved through your main short article is a crucial case, as well as the kind which may have negatively affected my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your site. That knowledge and kindness in playing with a lot of stuff was very helpful. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I’m able to at this point look forward to my future. Thank you very much for the skilled and amazing help. I won’t hesitate to endorse your site to anybody who requires guidelines about this area.

Hello. This afterall is not an opinion post, but simply a courtesy announcement for a journal published in Germany. Skip these announcements and concentrate on the opinion posts written either by me or others on the blog, why not? Michael

I tend not to drop a leave a response, however I read a lot of comments on Michael.H.Prosser » Blog Archive » Medien Journal, Zeitschrift fur Kommunikationskultur: Call for Papers in intercultural, international, and global communication “BRICS: New Challenges in the field of Communication” [Post 320] » Michael.H.Prosser. I do have a few questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be simply me or do some of the comments look as if they are left by brain dead folks?
And, if you are writing at other social sites, I’d like to keep up with you. Could you post a list of the complete urls of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Regards for this post, I am a big big fan of this site would like to proceed updated.
I wish to express appreciation to you for rescuing me from this type of situation. Because of surfing around through the the net and finding basics that were not powerful, I figured my entire life was done. Living minus the solutions to the issues you have solved as a result of the article is a serious case, as well as those that might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not encountered your web blog. Your main ability and kindness in touching almost everything was precious. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not discovered such a solution like this. It’s possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for this high quality and effective guide. I will not think twice to refer the website to anyone who wants and needs support on this situation.
