Dear PEN-L,
I have just received the intriguing post attached below. It points to
(yet another) centrism, or blind spot, in our thinking; in this case,
Northern Hemisphere-centrism! PEN participants connected with journals
should especially take note.
It should hardly need mentioning that this is a glass house in which we
all live. On my desk at the moment, for example, randomly selected, are:
RETHINKING MARXISM (*Summer* 1996/97). EASTERN ECONOMIC JOURNAL (*Fall*
1995), and REVIEW OF RADICAL POLITICAL ECONOMICS (*Winter* 1997).
In solidarity,
david

Comrades Editors of Science & Society,
I received the list of contents of your 'winter issue' from comrades in
South Africa. Right now, it is summer, not winter, there. The same is true
for Australians, Chileans and at least half a billion human beings. For
another few hundred million or so, seasons as we in the North Temperate
Zone know them are meaningless.
An international journal should not use seasons to date its issues. If it's
a quarterly, you can date it as 'First Quarter, 1998', or perhaps
'January-March 1998'.
- For internationalism,
- Aaron
