Explorations in Critical Social Science

eISSN: 14603616 | ISSN: 02632764 | Current volume: 41 | Current issue: 4 Frequency: 8 Times/Year

Theory, Culture & Society is a highly ranked, high impact factor, rigorously peer reviewed journal that publishes original research and review articles in the social and cultural sciences.

Launched in 1982 to cater for the resurgence of interest in culture within contemporary social science, Theory, Culture & Society provides a forum for articles which theorize the relationship between culture and society.

Theory, Culture & Society is at the cutting edge of recent developments in social and cultural theory. The journal has helped to break down some of the disciplinary barriers between the humanities and the social sciences by opening up a wide range of new questions in cultural theory.

Theory, Culture & Society builds upon the heritage of the classic founders of social theory and examines the ways in which this tradition has been reshaped by a new generation of theorists.

“I would not wish to live in a world that does not contain TCS. What that abbreviation stands for? Truth, conscience, solidarity. Friends from TCS worked hard for 21 years to verify that hope/hypothesis/expectation.” Zygmunt Bauman University of Leeds, UK

“TCS has been indispensable to those of us who consider our academic pursuits to be a vital part of our more public intellectual projects. The journal has always been guided by a desire to make a difference to the world, while it is dedicated to the life of the mind. I look forward to a flourishing future for the journal, because our own future as theorists, cultural practitioners and social activists depends on it.” Homi K Bhabha Harvard University, USA

“TCS has been one of my favourite travelling companions on the road of critical theory. It has perfected a difficult balance between radicalism and mainstreaming, provocation and consolidation. It never stopped questioning its own premises and even its own success: a breath of fresh air!” Rosi Braidotti University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
