![]() Call for Papers for a Roundtable Issue on Interdisciplinarity in Research on Emotion Inspired by a vivid discussion in the International Society for Research on Emotion (ISRE), Kodikas/ Code – Ars Semeiotica – An International Journal of Semiotics invites submissions for its roundtable issue on Interdisciplinarity in Research on Emotion. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines across the world, ISRE’s focus on interdisciplinarity reaches back to its foundation in 1984 and has just recently been reaffirmed at its biennial conference in Berkeley (ISRE 2013). In his inaugural address, newly elected president Arvid Kappas placed emphasis on the importance of interdisciplinary research in a broad sense, interconnecting not only natural sciences, computer science, and engineering but also social sciences and humanities. To institutionalize this emphasis, Kappas created a Task Force on Interdisciplinarity that sparked the discussion of interdisciplinarity among ISRE members. Through its roundtable issue, Kodikas aims to provide an open forum for discussing the opportunities and challenges of interdisciplinary research on emotion. In line with ISRE’s objective to facilitate research across decisively different fields, submissions are welcomed from scholars of all disciplines. The subject area comprises, but is not limited to: - opportunities, conditions, obstacles, and limits of interdisciplinary research on emotion, - epistemological questions of interdisciplinary research on emotion, - interdisciplinarity and affective computing, - interdisciplinarity regarding research on emotion in contexts of practical application, - a historiography of research on emotion within and across traditional discourse boundaries, - micro studies or ethnographies of interdisciplinary research on emotion, - interdisciplinarity, internationality, and culture, - communication, symbolic systems, and misunderstanding in interdisciplinary research on emotion, - interdisciplinarity, reputation, and academic careers, - interdisciplinary research on emotion and academic education, - organizing, managing, and institutionalizing interdisciplinary research on emotion, and - administrative and scholarly views on interdisciplinary research on emotion. The issue’s roundtable format grants contributors the opportunity to comment with a maximum of 1000 words on the other authors’ contributions. These comments will be published in the same issue. A journal of semiotics that promotes the interdisciplinary research characteristic of semiotics, Kodikas is keen to witness how scholars communicatively make sense of emotion as a subject within and across individual disciplines. Authors are thus encouraged to address the subject from their own points of view and not bound to a semiotic angle. Manuscripts should be between 4000 and 7500 words in length and formatted in accordance with the Kodikas Style Sheet. The deadline for paper submission (including an abstract of up to 200 words) is June 30, 2014. Submissions and requests for further details may be directed to guest editor Robin Kurilla (robin.kurilla@uni-due.de). Website: Kodikas/Code – Ars Semeiotica – An International Journal of Semiotics Editors: Prof. Dr. Achim Eschbach, Prof. Dr. Dr. Dr. h.c. Ernest W.B. Hess-Lüttich, and Prof. (em.) Dr. Jürgen Trabant
