  • International Communication Association Fellows: a Collective Biography
    International Journal of Communication 6 (2012), 2378–2396 1932–8036/20120005 International Communication Association Fellows: A Collective Biography MICHAEL MEYEN University of Munich This article aims to reveal the structure of the academic field of communication by portraying the people at its dominant pole. The study is based on the sociology of Bourdieu and 57 personal interviews with International Communication Association (ICA) fellows. It shows that the communication field’s legitimization problem is intensified by social climbers’ prevalence at the field’s power pole. These first-generation college graduates were raised to value education, hard work, and a certain type of public conduct. They entered the field when they realized that it matched their habitus, as communication attracted people with both an affinity for natural sciences and the wish to make a difference. Quantitative methods and psychological approaches promised scientific authority as well as knowledge for the outside world. The idea of this article is pretty simple: to reveal the structure of the communication field by portraying the people at its dominant pole. Anyone wishing to link the article’s scope and title will probably ask for the empirical and theoretical background: Why ICA, and why the fellows? Why a portrait including the origin environment, for example, instead of canonic texts? These questions are addressed in the introduction to the International Journal of Communication (IJoC) special feature in which the 57 interviews with ICA fellows are also
