<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Dear all,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Routledge has launched a new book series entitled 'Critical Studies in Discourse', of which I am the Editor. The aims of the series are as follow: The series publishes high quality original research monographs broadly in the field of critical discourse studies. It seeks theoretically innovative and empirically rigorous research that advances our critical understanding of the interrelations of discourse and social processes, including all aspects of power relations (such as maintenance and perpetuation of dominance; negotiations of power and resistances; as well as solidarity formations for group empowerment). The series encourages interdisciplinarity of research, and welcomes investigations of new topics, domains, issues, frameworks and methods, as well as fresh perspectives on established ones, from a variety of international and cultural contexts. A broad understanding of 'discourse' is adopted in the series to include systematic and explicit analyses of spoken/written language and other modes of semiosis (e.g. visual images, sounds, gestures and actions). </FONT></P>
