Aims & Scope
Theory and Society is a forum for the international community of scholars that publishes theoretically-informed analyses of social processes.
It opens its pages to authors working at the frontiers of social analysis, regardless of discipline.
Its subject matter ranges from prehistory to contemporary affairs, from treatments of single individuals and national societies to world culture, from discussions of theory to methodological critique, from First World to Third World - but always in the effort to bring together theory, criticism and concrete observation.
