Academic publications in the age of post-Enlightenment (original) (raw)

2013, Communications - The European Journal of Communication Research

This essay deals with phenomena of the publication of academic work: the emergence of science slams, the transformation of open access and the role of the Social Science Citation Index. As a result of the argumentation it becomes clear that publication of scholarly work at least in part becomes an element of regulating academic work following interests which come from the outside. The question of whether a publication marks progress in communication studies is no longer in the focus of publication. This is why we speak of "post-enlightenment".
