From: Richard Maxwell rmaxwell@gc.cuny.edu

Toby Miller asked me to forward this request for submissions to a special issue of Social Semiotics on the subject of cultural labor.

This is about any dimension of cultural work--so the focus ranges from producer/distributor work to consumers' labor in all areas of culture (art, education, religion, sex, food, media, entertainment, domestic realm, music, policy, filmmaking, etc).  Obviously, this can be focused on individual or collective forms of creative/intellectual work, labor processes, labor movements within cultural industries, theorizations of the place of labor in cultural analysis, etc.  The idea is to foreground this routinely obscured area of cultural life.  Essays can be any length up to 8000 words.  Don't be distracted by the journal title--they actually publish non-semiotic oriented work.

I'm writing to see if you'd be interested in submitting an essay for a special issue of Social Semiotics that I'm editing. The issue is on cultural labor, as broadly defined. Maximum length is 8000 words and due date is beginning of February 2005. Let me know if this of interest.
