CfP FQS 10(1): Qualitative Research on Intercultural Communication
Dear All,
I would like to inform you about the following Call for Papers for FQS
10(1), to be published in January 2009:
FQS 10(1): Qualitative Research on Intercultural Communication. Methods
and Perspectives in Social Sciences, Cultural Studies and Education
Editors: Jens Allwood (University of Goeteborg), Assumpta Aneas Alvarez
(University of Barcelona), Dominic Busch (Europa University Viadrina,
Frankfurt/Oder), David Hoffman (University of Jyvaeskylae), Matthias
Otten (University Koblenz-Landau, Campus Landau), Michele Schweisfurth
(University of Birmingham).
Guiding questions about approaches to intercultural communication in
qualitative research, to be addressed in the special issue:
-- Which classical qualitative research methods seem preferred for the
empirical investigation of intercultural communication, and how are
these methods legitimated, founded theoretically and adjusted to
intercultural phenomena?
-- How is culture conceptualised/manifested in the application of a
qualitative research method?
-- How are mixed methods and interdisciplinary approaches applied in
intercultural communication research?
-- How can researchers anticipate and reflect the cultural bias of their
theoretical concepts, field access, instruments, interpretation and data
presentation throughout the research process?
-- How can the relatively young research field of intercultural
communication be systemised and mapped on the background of classical
approaches of qualitative social research?
More information about the background of the issue, conceptual aspects,
guidelines, the time schedule and contact details are available online at:
