Editorial: Texting and talking anniversaries
Not a single day passes without it being an anniversary of something. At the
time of writing this editorial, Cardiff?TEXT ’s current editorial
home?celebrates its centenary anniversary and the (western) world celebrates the
sixtieth anniversary of the Victory in Europe (VE) Day. While Cardiff’s
centenary celebrations span a whole year (2005), although clustered around a few
days/dates and rather muted otherwise, the VE Day celebration marks the exact
day when the Second World War ended, i.e., 8 May 1945. The celebration format
for TEXT ’s silver jubilee shares features of both these events: it is
a year-long celebration, but this special issue marks a pivotal
moment.
