Theory, Culture & Society
Theory, Culture & Society caters for the resurgence of interest in
culture within contemporary social science and the humanities.
Building on the heritage of classical social theory, the book series
examines ways in which this tradition has been reshaped by a new
generation of theorists. It will also publish theoretically informed
analyses of everyday life, popular culture, and new intellectual
movements.
