ECHO

Interdisciplinary Journal of Communication
Languages, Cultures, Societies

ECHO is a locus for critical thinking, a possible connecting point for an analysis of different forms of knowledge in the era of maximum convergence of media and languages in the context of the current transition from traditional cultures to digital ones. Having overcome the space and time restraints that contribute to the readability of contexts, today communication is central to the practice, methods and discourses that solely a transdisciplinary journal can frame in terms of its contradictions.

Therefore, ECHO welcomes any original scientific contributions (articles and book reviews) coming from all the areas of research in communication with a particular interest in those that intersect with different disciplinary areas and approaches. ECHO, both in its monograph version and when it deals with more than one topic, bends towards a Benjaminian approach of the fragment: single pearls that conduct a dialogue at a distance and not just fragments of lost objects. The power of imagination, the effects on real and tangible phenomena can be found here like useful constellations to open up new perspectives, visions and directions among different disciplinary approaches, never hiding the origin/place they come from, never considering the time as homogenous and empty, since it is always “loaded with actuality”.

To this extent, ECHO proposes the return of the cultural object to the communicative-performative dimension for which it was created, in the world and for the world, determined as it is to grasp the development of communication in the horizon of our contemporaneity.

ECHO uses double-blind peer review.

We accept contributions in Italian, English, French. Contributions in other languages will be taken into consideration.
