Cultural Spaces
Cultural Spaces is a book series that explores the rapidly changing temporal, spatial, and theoretical boundaries of contemporary cultural studies. Culture has long been understood as the force that defines and delimits societies in fixed spaces. The recent intensification of globalizing processes, however, has meant that it is no longer possible—if it ever was—to imagine the world as a collection of autonomous, monadic spaces, whether these are imagined as localities, nations, regions within nations, or cultures demarcated by region or nation. The aim of this interdisciplinary series is to publish bold new analyses and theories of the spaces of culture, as well as investigations of the historical construction of those cultural spaces that have influenced the shape of the contemporary world.
Series Editors: Richard Cavell (University of British Columbia), Jasmin Habib (University of Waterloo) and Imre Szeman (University of Alberta)

Reviews in Cultural Theory
Reviews in Cultural Theory is a journal of reviews that responds to new developments in the theorization of culture. Published online bi-weekly and collected into issues twice a year, Reviews in Cultural Theory seeks to provide a forum to foreground both new work in this field and the emergent community of scholars who share an interest in the complex and changing problematic of culture today.
Focusing on the wide distribution of short and timely reviews and review essays, the journal aims to remain responsive to the dynamism and pace of this field. The journal’s first two issues chart the contemporary shape of cultural theory as it touches on Visual Culture, Gender Studies, Geography, Queer Theory, Marxism, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural History and Sound Studies, among other fields and subjects, established and emerging.
Editors: Sarah Blacker, Justin Sully, Imre Szeman
