New Journal for 2008!
Emotion, Space and Society provides a forum for interdisciplinary
debate on theoretically informed research on the emotional
intersections between people and places. The journal aims are
conceived to encourage investigations of feelings and affect in
various spatial and social contexts, environments and landscapes.
Questions of emotion are relevant to a variety of disciplines, and
submissions will be sought from across the full spectrum of the
humanities and social sciences.

Submissions will investigate the multiplicity of spaces and places
that produce and are produced by emotional and affective life,
representing an inclusive range of theoretical and methodological
engagements with emotion as a social, cultural and spatial phenomenon.
The launch of this journal represents a unique and timely opportunity
to explore exciting new ways to think about natures, cultures and
histories of emotional life.

Contributions are anticipated from authors who call upon and develop
issues emerging from work on emotion from feminist, geographical,
historical, philosophical, psychotherapeutic, sociological,
anthropological, political and other disciplinary perspectives and
from the spatial turn in cultural theory.

The journal also has obvious connections with the recent resurgence of
interest in the importance of 'everyday' life as a social category and
with interactions between place, identity and felt values.

The journal will publish research articles, review articles, and a
variety of shorter opinion and editorial pieces designed to stimulate
debate, together with book reviews and book review essays. Innovative
presentational formats are encouraged.

For possible publication in 2008, submissions to Emotion, Space and
Society MUST BE RECEIVED BY JANUARY 15, 2008.
