It welcomes contributions in English, French and Arabic on codicology, textual studies, manuscript collections and collection care and management.

The Journal of Language and Politics (JLP) represents a forum for analysing and discussing the various dimensions in the interplay of language and politics. The basic assumption is that the language of politics cannot be separated from the politics of language. The notion of ’Political Discourse’ does not remain limited to the ’institutional’ field of politics (e.g. parliamentary discourse, election campaigns, party programmes, speeches, etc.) but opens to all linguistic manifestations that may be considered to be political, provided that it is convincingly argued what makes them ’political’. In order to illuminate new and old forms of political discourses inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives and elaborated linguistic methodologies have to complement each other.Articles should bring together sociological concepts, political theories, and historical analysis. Methodologies can be qualitative or quantitative and must be well grounded in linguistics or other relevant disciplines. They may focus on different dimensions (pragmatics, semantics, social cognition, semiotics) of political discourse. Since political discourses overlap with other discourses, e.g. economic and scientific discourses, perspectives of interdiscursivity and intertextuality are considered to be important. Articles based on ethnographic studies will be particularly welcome.The Journal of Language and Politics welcomes review papers of any research monograph or edited volume which takes a discourse-analytical approach to the study of language and politics, as broadly conceived above. If you are interested in reviewing any recent, relevant text please email Christopher.hartATnorthumbria.ac.uk and we can arrange for a copy to be sent to you.The Journal of Language and Politics is associated with the book series Discourse Approaches to Politics, Society, and Culture, edited by Ruth Wodak and Greg Myers.This journal is peer reviewed and indexed in: IBR/IBZ, International Political Science Abstracts, and in the following Thomson Reuters (ISI) services: Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, Social Scisearch, Journals Citation Reports/Social Sciences Edition, Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences, Current Contents/Arts & Humanities, European Reference Index for the Humanities, LLBA, TSA OnlineSample issue: JLP 7:1 .

Multidisciplinary work defining and proposing new areas of research and debate is especially welcome. We encourage contributions on the full range of cultural objects, practices, and expressions (including literature, film, visual arts, music), as well as the informal structures of meaning and communication at societal and sub-cultural levels. We welcome work that engages disciplines such as film and media studies, literary criticism, anthropology, gender and queer studies, communication, history and memory studies, and other areas of analysis. We are interested in work which investigates multiple modernities and the effects on societies and social practice of modernization and globalization, as well as articles that reflect on the plural meanings of culture and cultural field, and the place of cultural theory. Engagements with instances of hybridity and transculturation, including the limitations of their conceptual reach, are also welcome; as are articles proposing original directions for their analysis through alternative ethnographies and epistemologies. Work that explores new methods and new areas of investigation, including the critical renewal of cultural studies itself as a transversal disciplinary and political project, is particularly encouraged. We invite articles on all relevant periods, from colonial times to the present. There is a review section which carries authoritative review articles on the state of the art in given fields.
