Subtitle: Special Issue: The Politics of Academic Reading: 50th
Anniversary Issue of IJSL; Issue Editor: Alexandre Duchêne

Main Text:

The International Journal of the Sociology of Language was first
published in 1974 under the editorship of Joshua Fishman and will
celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024. Anniversaries deserve
celebration (many celebrations, in fact), but they are also key
moments to reflect on what we do, why we do it, with whom and for
whom, and how we do it, as well as to examine the challenges and
issues inherent in our work. Such introspection, when applied to a
scientific journal that has published 285 issues and more than 2,000
articles over 50 years, brings up essential questions about the
politics of writing and reading, which are inherently sociolinguistic:
who writes what, for whom, how, and why? We wanted to launch, for this
anniversary, a debate with the journal editors who de facto concerned
(as reader, as gatekeeper, as part of the knowledge economy) with the
politics of reading and the politics of writing. To initiate this
conversation, we decided to reprint (and translate into English,
French, and Spanish) a paper written in German about 35 years ago by
the linguistics scholar Wolfgang Klein. In this article, Klein
addressed these problems and proposed some potential (for some,
unconventional or even outlandish) solutions. We found this text to be
refreshing, ironic, and humorous, yet also deeply serious, making it
an ideal trigger for reflection on the politics of reading from the
perspective of editors of sociolinguistics (and/or applied
linguistics) journals worldwide. 28 journal editors of
sociolinguistics (understand in a very broad sense) from all over the
world have accepted this invitation and we are delighted to share with
this anniversary issue as Free to read access.
