It's just a few days now until the 8th issue of language>place blog carnival goes online. This issue will be hosted by Walter Bjorkman on his blog, Qwik-Bake Synthetics. Until then you can visit issue 7 at Julia Davies's cyber home, Practice Makes Perfect.
In August, I will be hosting issue 9. The suggested theme for it is "individuation/assimilation". The theme is not mandatory, it's just an idea that maybe triggers your thoughts and creativity to explore its various meanings. How do you feel about globalisation? Do you feel isolated if you write in your mother tongue but live in a foreign country or vice versa? Some think that introducing foreign concepts into a language is akin to pollution, some see it as an enrichment. I think there's a thin line between keeping one's individuality and striving to reach the outer world with one's writing. How much to adapt? How far can you go with your originality? How many different positions are there on this topic?

Submissions for issue 9 will be open from 1st till 20th August 2011.
