CfP Monográfico: "Nuevas tendencias en investigación de la comunicación" (envíos hasta 31/05/21)

Research in the field of communication has been characterised by its multidisciplinary approach; resulting in multiple schools, traditions, and approaches, and therefore, in a series of objects of study and research results with great diversity and, on occasion, a high level of dispersion as one of its main features. On the other hand, there has been a key transformation in this field in recent decades with an exponential increase in scientific production and in greater international collaboration between authors. Changes in communication education have had a lot to do with this change, with a highly significant increase in the educational offering together with changes in the regulation of access to teaching careers in Spain, which have influenced, and continue to influence, research development. Accordingly, this monograph presents a reflection on the new challenges and opportunities research is facing in the field of communication and, specifically, the challenge of consolidating a unique identity, which are reflections we consider necessary. This is a panorama in which issues such as education, specialisation, globalisation, gender differences/perspectives, and ethical debates, among others, take on special relevance. Nor should we lose sight of the structural aspects that determine the evaluation or funding criteria, nor the regulatory framework, which ultimately influence the development of research in this field. At the same time, this monograph aims to focus on the new trends observed in communication research that aspire to consolidate themselves as objects of study. This approach is carried out from a three-fold perspective: concepts, media and approaches.
