This is an open call for a special issue (June 2002) of the journal Inter/Sections: the Journal of Global Communications and Culture.  The topic of the special issue is entitled,

"Phenomenological and Hermeneutic Contributions to the Study of Global Communication and Culture"

Guest Editor
Dr. Charlton McIlwain
Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow
New York University
Department of Culture and Communication

The contributions of philosophy-based methods of social scientific research, namely phenomenology and hermeneutics, are not given broad attention in the mainstream literature of communication.

However, these epistemological approaches, in opening up the legitimate field of inquiry to all forms of cultural expression, that is, anything given to conscious awareness, offer much in helping us understand a wide-array of communicative phenomena.  These approaches have been particularly useful in the study of the essential constituents of culture as well as the emerging expression of global communication and the various ways in which human meaning is constructed.

Given this, the objectives of this special issue are three-fold: 1). To show how these approaches have contributed to our understanding of what culture is and its relationship with communication; 2). To compare this approach to other epistemological approaches in their acquisition of knowledge about culture and communication; and 3). To demonstrate how these approaches have been applied to the study of certain forms of cultural expression.

This issue will focus on a broad variety of questions within this domain.  For instance: What do phenomenologists and hermenuticians do and how does their use of these approaches help us understand what culture is, how it is formed, and the nature of cultural variability?  How do these approaches treat communication in their conception of culture and what do they offer regarding the possibility of "global communication"?  What distinguishes these approaches from other epistemological approaches in their ontological perspective, methodological practice and conclusions regarding the study of culture and communication?  Finally, how have these approaches been applied so as to broaden our understanding of these concepts?

Given this description, this is a call for:

1. Papers which pertain to the objectives of the special issue.  Papers should be between 6,000- 8,000 words.

2. Critical commentaries and reviews or short communications on any subject pertaining to the topic area for the special issue of no more than 2400 words.

**We would like to encourage young and new faculty members, PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows to submit papers, reviews or commentaries.

Those interested in submitting research papers should first submit an extended abstract, of no more than 500 words, by November 1, 2001 to:
