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. We invite submissions that empirically explore emerging imaginaries, ideological positions, and conflicts surrounding AI.

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