Hi all
Here is some information and a CFP for new Sage journal called _Journal Of
Visual Culture that one or two members of CSL, including Mark Little and
myself are involved with editorially.
As CSL members will see below, there is likely to be a strong technological
thread running through the work of the journal. The journal is also looking
for articles for the first few issues.
So, if this is your sort of thing, then please send on articles to the
appropriate people on the Ed Board named below or visit the Sage website on:
http://www.sagepub.co.uk/
best wishes
John
