John Hutnyk (editor): PUBLICity is an experiment through which, in a kind of Zamizdat publishing style, a journal can bring varied examples of writing to attention so as to publicise aspects of global public life. The section editor sought a diversity of writing in terms of content, location, orientation and intentionóalways aiming to make more visible, and to think more creatively, through issues and concerns that might otherwise be missed, might be buried in the conventions or reportage, or be passed over without murmur. The section consists of 28 articles by 28 authors from around the world.
