CALL FOR PAPERS: THE IMAGINATIVE LANDSCAPE OF AI – VISIONS, POSITIONS, CONFLICTS

Few technological developments spark more debate today than artificial intelligence. From promises of human advancement to fears of existential risk, AI generates a multitude of visions, conflicts, and societal debates. This “imaginative landscape of AI” goes beyond technical issues, encompassing political struggles, social movements, and ideas about the future of communication and society.

The International Journal of Communication is launching a Special Section on The Imaginative Landscape of AI: Visions, Positions, Conflicts. The editors of this Special Section, Andreas Hepp and Nathan Schneider, invite submissions that empirically explore emerging imaginaries, ideological positions, and conflicts surrounding AI.

Key deadlines:

Abstracts (500 words) due December 1, 2025
Notification of acceptance by January 1, 2026
Full manuscripts due May 1, 2026
Publication in spring 2027
