I edited the first book in English on Bourdieu, and would love to write a
piece for your journal.  However, things pile up and demands for this
particular form of paper are at a premium at the moment.  I am imgining you
want an abstract by April 30, rather than a completed paper.

> The hallmark of the most exciting developments in contemporary social
> theory and research is that issues of space and culture are placed to the
> fore. The distinction of Space and Culture is its grounding in everyday
> life: the habitual, and the mundane practices which make up the material
> of contemporary culture. Space and Culture is a cross-disciplinary journal
> which fosters the publication of reflections on a wide range of
> socio-spatial arenas such as the home, architecture, urbanism and
> geopolitics. We encourage the application of contemporary theoretical
> debates in cultural studies, discourse analysis, post-colonialism to
> research on sexuality, migrant and diasporic identities, virtual
> identities and virtual citizenship. Space and Culture is unique in having
> the explicit mission of bringing cutting-edge theory to the contexts and
> sites of social change. 
> 
> There is a hunger for writing which specifies the now overly-general
> ordering concepts by which most journals are edited. There is a demand for
> conceptual innovation which problematizes the fixity of the social science
> categories (such as identity, globalization, society, state). There is a
> need for journals which function as meeting places: informative
> communication media for researchers struggling to work across discipline
> borders. 
> 
> We are not seeking applications of theory but work on the frontiers of
> theoretical development which nonetheless retains an organic link to
> everyday life and its positionality within its culture of origin.
