Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the structure of the International Communication Association (ICA) through a network analysis based on joint memberships in the ICA’s divisions and interests groups and through a semantic network analysis based on the shared use of symbols in conference paper titles. The structure of ICA in 2005 based on the joint memberships was compared to the structure in 1991. The results suggest the dimensions that differentiate the divisions/interests groups, have remained constant. As reported by Barnett and Danowski (1992), ICA is organized along three dimensions: mass to interpersonal, humanities to social sciences and applied to theoretical. that there was a change in the divisions’ centrality between 1991 and 2005. Also, while Mass communication remained at the center of the network, the Technology and Political Communication divisions became more central. The semantic network analysis found that Philosophy and International/Intercultural Communication were the most central with Interpersonal and Information Systems at the periphery with the recently formed interest groups. Finally, there is a significant correlation between the semantic network and the network of joint memberships.
