Editorial and front matter: Colloquy, Issue 19, June 2010

Issue 19 of Colloquy: text, theory, critique is a general issue. A wide range of topics is traversed: from translation to "coming out," the predicaments of late capitalism to the construction of memory, with references that range through Benjamin, Derrida, Sebald and Peirce. The issue is completed by a number of book reviews. The editors wish to thank the many referees who made this issue possible.

This issue sees the debut of three new Editors-in-Chief: David Blencowe, Timothy Chandler and Catherine Ryan. Accordingly, the editorial team wishes to acknowledge the contribution made to Colloquy by outgoing Editor-in-Chief, Geoff Berry. Geoff has given much time, passion and enthusiasm to Colloquy over the last few years, and for this we thank him.
