Dear Francois,
I am an editor of two international journals based in the UK - Social and
Legal studies and
Theory, Culture & Society. I will contract the boards of both, but I feel
pretty confident that they would be interested in the paper.
If so, would you wish to translate it or would you like some one else to
do so? Please let me know if you find an alternative home for it.
Thanks,
Vikki Bell
