Theory, Culture & Society Annual Review
The Annual Review is an additional double issue produced at the end of each volume of Theory, Culture and Society.
For more than forty years Theory, Culture & Society has systematically addressed the central issues in social and cultural theory. It is this capacity to keep abreast of the latest theoretical issues and generate a new agenda, which is behind the development of the Annual Review.
The Annual Review features innovative material which has a transdisciplinary focus. It provides in-depth, yet accessible discussions of recent developments at the cutting-edge of social science, cultural studies, gender studies, and literary, art and media theory. The intention is to develop an increasingly global scope both in terms of content and contributors, as found in the regular section on Global Public Life. Some of the sections within the Annual Review have a more discursive and magazine style focus, such as regular commentaries on global public life, and reviews of exhibitions, events, conferences, as well as books.
“The Annual Review promises to continue and constellate the clear strengths of Theory, Culture & Society, providing a venue for innovative social theory that engages contemporary cultural formations of interest to a wide range of scholars. This work brings together major social theorists from a variety of disciplines and works to produce and sustain a broadly interdisciplinary conversation on new forms of cultural and social criticism, philosophy and social theory, and a broad conception of culture that spans anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. This is a widely respected journal that has claimed attention throughout the English-speaking world, and the Annual Review will doubtless distil its contributions in highly valued ways.” Judith Butler, Maxine Elliot Professor of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, University of California at Berkeley.
“The idea of a TCS Annual Review is welcome news. TCS has been a steady bridge between Western social theory and the emerging, globalized world. The Annual Review promises to enrich and amplify the powerful critical tradition of TCS.” Arjun Appadurai, John Dewey Professor in the Social Sciences at The New School for Social Research, New York.
