<P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Studies in Language and
Capitalism</FONT> </STRONG>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. The journal is a project of
the LNC Group listserv and stems from our shared concern regarding the global
spread of new economic ideologies and specifically the way that neoliberals
attempt to naturalise, and hence entrench, social, political and economic
inequalities. <BR></FONT><STRONG><BR><FONT face=Arial><FONT
color=#ff0000>Studies in Language and Capitalism</FONT> </FONT></STRONG><FONT
face=Arial>will publish substantial research articles, shorter pieces
and commentary. The journal will bridge the false disciplinary
boundaries erected between discourse analysis, linguistics, communications,
political science, sociology, history, and other related
fields. We welcome submissions not only from academics and researchers
analysing language in use, but also activists in social movements who see
language use as part of their concerns, journalists concerned with language and
rhetoric, and social researchers in other fields where the politics of language
is an issue.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Though language is foregrounded in our title, <STRONG><FONT
color=#ff0000>Studies in Language and Capitalism</FONT> </STRONG>is equally
interested in presenting research that addresses the roles which semiosis as a
whole plays in making capitalism meaningful. Further, <STRONG><FONT
color=#ff0000>SLC</FONT></STRONG> 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, education, the mass media, 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.<BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Arial><EM>Possible areas of
analysis include:<BR></EM>representations of scarcity and abundance<BR>the
state, governance and control<BR>coercion, hegemony and pedagogy<BR>dynamics of
the public sphere<BR>development, dependency and globalisation<BR>historical and
future conceptions of value<BR>relationships between technology and social
action<BR>the restructuring of various public and private life domains including
education, labour, healthcare and development<BR>neo-feudalism and
neo-corporatism<BR>the War on Terror and the Long War<BR>people’s movements and
socio-economic alternatives<BR><EM>and a wide range of other
topics.</EM></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Studies in Language and
Capitalism</FONT> </STRONG>is seeking articles for the early issues of the
journal. Longer articles should be no longer than 8,000 words and shorter
articles no longer than 4,000 words. A primary concern of the journal is to
provide open access to knowledge on a global basis. Therefore, <STRONG><FONT
color=#ff0000>SLC</FONT> </STRONG>will accept previously published papers, or
drafts and revisions thereof. Items previously published must still undergo the
same peer review process as all other submissions and will not necessarily be
accepted for publication by <STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>SLC</FONT></STRONG>.
Please state if your submission has been previously published, where, and
whether the paper is a draft, an update, or a piece you have permission to
republish. <BR>Submissions will be refereed by reviewers. All articles should be
accompanied by an abstract of approximately 150 words and 5-10 keywords. The
journal uses the Harvard system of referencing with the author’s name and date
in the text, and a full reference list in alphabetical order at the end of the
article.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>All submissions must be sent electronically as Microsoft
Word documents to: <BR></FONT><A href=""><FONT face=Arial>info at
