Visual Online Communication in BRICS Countries
Call for Submissions
This special section of China Media Research invites scholars from a broad range of disciplines
to submit manuscripts on the theme of “Visual Online Communication in the BRICS
Countries”. Visual Online Content here refers to imagery, GIFs, emoticons, pictures and other
visual means that accompany text in an online environment, non inclusive of the audiovisual
content and moving images. Despite the increasing prominence of visual online content on
social media such as WeChat, Weibo, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, as well as traditional
mass media websites across the BRICS countries, comparative academic studies focused on
visual content are scarce. Recent discussions focused on plurality of emoticons such as hijabs,
or emoticons with different facial color. Despite discussions in the public sphere, there is a lack
of cross-cultural studies looking at the differences in imagery. This call for submissions
therefore hopes to fill this research desiderate.
Arguably, a lack of visual communication research in the BRICS countries is attributed to the
prevalent Western tradition in communication research. This special section serves to overcome
the dominance of Western approaches in visual communications research. Following these
considerations, scholars are invited to submit their original manuscripts that address the
following topics, among others:
- Comparative studies of visual online content from the BRICS countries, including at
least one BRICS country as comparative country;
- Content or discourse analysis of journalistic visual content, advertisements, PR and
political communication visual content and social web visual content in the BRICS
countries;
- Research on use of emoticons in the BRICS countries;
Both qualitative and quantitative approaches investigating visual online content in the BRICS’
countries are welcome. Submissions must not have been previously published nor be under
consideration by another publication. An extended abstract (up to 1,000 words) or a complete
paper at the first stage of the reviewing process will be accepted. All the submissions must be
received by May 26, 2017. If the extended abstract is accepted, the complete manuscript must
be received by August 13, 2017. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the APA
publication manual (6th edition) and should not exceed 8,000 words including tables and
references. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed, and the authors will be notified of the final
acceptance/rejection decision. Please visit www.chinamediaresearch.net for more information
about the quarterly journal of China Media Research, which publishes both print and online
versions.
Please direct questions and submissions to the CMR special section guest editor Maria Faust at
