Call for papers:

Media Use and 러시안 룰렛 게임 Engagement: Cross-Cultural Approaches

Special Section in theInternational Journal of Communication (IJOC)

Guest editors: Özen Odağ, Frank M. Schneider, Larisa Buhin, & Jinhee Kim


We cordially invite empirical research articles on media use and 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement taking up a cross-culturally comparative design!!!


Democracies around the world are struggling with the global decline of civic and 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement, especially among younger generations (Bessant, Farthing, & Watts, 2016; Smith & Thompson, 2015). Recent data from World Value Surveysandthe Eurobarometer have yielded alarming results (Whiteley, 2012), showing that young people in most Western countries are increasingly dissatisfied with and disinterested in liberal democracy (Foa & Mounk, 2017; Sloam, 2016).At the same time, this overall decline is paralleled by an increase of new forms of engagement such as lifestyle politics, Internet activism, and 러시안 룰렛 게임 consumerism (Dalton, 2004; 2006; Theocharis & van Deth, 2018).


These developments have contributed to a new understanding of citizenship, one in which citizens are increasingly engaging through informal, creative, participatory, and digitally networked activities, thus moving 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement into the domain of entertainment and personalized communication (Park, Kee, & Valenzuela, 2009).Activities that formerly took place offline (such as demonstrations, signing petitions, 러시안 룰렛 게임 discussions) have now largely moved into the online sphere and work in concert with offline civic engagement activity.They include a wide range of phenomena such as using social networks to access information, using digital platforms to exchange views, using mobile applications to access government services, and organizing protests on social networks (Bala, 2014).Many of these emergent behaviors are not yet fully understood.Their global rise across the world as expressed in countless examples of collective action in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the USA, however, render them a timely topic to studyfrom a cross-cultural perspective.


Current scholarship focuses especially on the social and psychological factors that connect media use and 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement (Hsiao, 2018; Hsiao & Yang, 2018; Valenzuela, Correa, & Gil de Zúñiga, 2018). Social identity, efficacy, injustice perceptions, emotions, values, and system justification beliefs have been identified as crucial psychosocial predictors of digitally enabled 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement (Hsiao, 2018; Jost et al., 2018; Valenzuela, Correa, & Gil de Zúñiga, 2018; Van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008).At the same time, our understanding of these effects has remained insufficient and largely confined to Western democratic contexts (suchasEurope and the USA; see Hsiao, 2018, for an overview of this extensive research).Although a few authors have taken up a non-Western perspective and investigated such mechanisms of 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement in the non-Western world (e.g.Hsiao, 2018; Valenzuela, Correa, & Gil de Zúñiga, 2018; Wibisono, Louis, & Jetten, 2019), current scholarship isimpressively void of cross-culturally comparative approaches to the role of media in 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement.


This Special Section aims to highlight the influence of cultural factors (societies, cultures, cultural identities, 러시안 룰렛 게임 regimes etc.) on the relationship between media use and 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement. We are particularly looking for cross-culturally comparative empirical studies, both qualitative and quantitative, that deal with the role of media use in 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement. A central aim of the studies should be to understand cultural variance in the theories that have been produced on the topic. Studies should thus focus on a minimum of two cultural contexts that are compared.


The Special Section is open for a variety of topics. Examples include, but are not limited to:

- Cross-cultural studies on the role of satirical new media formats, such as 러시안 룰렛 게임 talk-shows and 러시안 룰렛 게임 Internet memes, for 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement;

-Cross-cultural studies on the role of specific social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and othernon-Western variants, for 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement;

-Cross-cultural studies on the role of entertainment media, such as 러시안 룰렛 게임 movies and video games, for 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement;

-Cross-cultural studies on the role of 러시안 룰렛 게임, religious, cultural identity in the relationship between media use and 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement;

-Cross-cultural studies on the role of ‘cultured’ emotions and values in the relationship between media use and 러시안 룰렛 게임 engagement;

-Cross-cultural studies on social-psychological mechanisms in the context of echo chambers, fake news, and propaganda
