Issue 2(1) of Studies in Language and Capitalism is now online.
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.
