| Publisher Description: Distinktion: Scandinavian Journal of Social Theory publishes innovative papers which make a substantial contribution to the generation of social theory. The Journal invites articles from sociology, political theory, cultural and legal studies, anthropology and philosophy that provide original perspectives on the social. Based in a Scandinavian context, characterized by prioritizing no single theoretical horizon, the Journal creates a space for theoretical contestation that includes both continental and Anglo-American traditions.
