CALL FOR PAPERS

North Korea and Communication

ICA Pre-Conference at Hilton Washington DC

May 24, 2019

North Korea has been an under-explored area in communication research.
Limitations on movement and communication, as well as physical isolation of
the country in the global arena, has made it difficult for scholars to
produce meaningful research about North Korea. In recent years, however,
there have been major developments in the communication infrastructure,
with the introduction of cellular phones to the general public, resulting
in over 70% of Pyongyang citizens having access. Foreign correspondents
from the US, Europe and South Korea have been allowed to set up permanent
foreign bureaus. In 2018, the North Korean leader has engaged in fast-paced
diplomacy with the US, South Korea and China. Taken together, these changes
are leading to a new era in communication about, within and around North
Korea.

Considering the historical and geopolitical significance of such
developments, it is therefore crucial for scholars to pursue theoretically
and methodologically sound research on North Korea. This one-day ICA
preconference, supported by the Political Communication and Journalism
Studies divisions, aims to bring together leading and emerging scholars
around the world to register this shift and examine causes, components and
civic consequences of a uniquely isolated – but rapidly changing – country.

The pre-conference also aims to bring scholars together with practitioners
including diplomats, journalists, policy makers and those from
international organizations, NGOs, and business sectors for constructive
dialogue. We encourage submissions from scholars from other disciplines
such as political science, international relations, sociology and East
Asian studies. Discussions are currently underway to publish presented
works in a journal or edited volume.

While we are open-ended about potential topics, we would welcome research
in the following areas:

• Works conceptualizing and theorizing changes in the media in and about
North Korea in both historical and contemporary contexts

• Works exploring the roles of communication and rhetoric, looking factors
related to media (new or traditional), messages (symbolism, keywords),
context, or speakers or audiences in a changing North Korea

• Works analyzing emerging norms, practices and routines with regards to
the production and consumption of new and traditional media, as well as
formal/underground media

• Works looking into Hallyu and popular culture in North Korea

• Works related to intercultural communication and migration

• Works seeking to understand changes in journalism impacting diverse
communities — regional, class, gender — within North Korea and its neighbors

Submission Process

We invite scholars to submit abstracts (maximum 500 words) of theoretical
and empirical research papers.

The submission should be emailed to the pre-conference organizers at
*nkpreconference at gmail.com
<nkpreconference at gmail.com>* no later than *January 30th, 2019*.

Authors will be informed of acceptance/rejection decisions no later
than *February
15, 2019.*

Accepted abstracts will be posted to the pre-conference website in advance
of the event.
