> Dear Friends and Colleagues,
> (apologies for cross-posting)
> We are very pleased to announce that Issue 2(1) of Studies in  
> Language and Capitalism is now online.
> SLC is a peer-reviewed online journal that seeks to promote and  
> freely distribute interdisciplinary critical inquiries into the  
> language and meaning of contemporary capitalism, and the links  
> between economic, social and linguistic change in the world around us.
> Though language is foregrounded in our title, SLC is equally  
> interested in presenting research that addresses the role semiosis  
> in general plays in making capitalism meaningful. Further, SLC will  
> not limit itself to the economic field. We are also interested in  
> publishing work that examines the ramifications of capitalism in  
> fields such as culture, the mass media, education, politics (both  
> national and international), public and civil society, and in  
> relation to structured social inequalities on the basis of  
> nationality, ‘race’, religion, gender and sexuality.
> We are now taking submissions for the next issue.

Words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a  
thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions,  
think. --Byron
