Quarterly Journal of Speech

The new issue of the Quarterly Journal of Speech is out (volume 94, number 2, May 2008). It looks very good. Actually, it's an excellent journal (I'm pretty thrilled that I've been added to the board because I didn't know much about the work in critical rhetorical studies). The new issue has a review of Zizek's Politics. It also has a review of a book by Thomas Rickert likely to interest readers of I Cite, Acts of Enjoyment: Rhetoric, Zizek, and the Return of the Subject as well as review of Leslie Paul Thiele's The Heart of Judgment: Practical Wisdom, Neuroscience, and Narrative. The lead article in the journal takes up Lacan and love; another considers the political economy of rhetorical style, and still another one makes a case for "critical affect studies."
