The journal I edit, Society and Space, is in its 28th volume. It’s published a very large number of papers in that time. I previously gave some figures about this. I’m now beginning to create a long list of papers to go into a compilation volume – there will be about 20 in the final volume. Going through all the back issues is very interesting – although I knew these pretty well there are still a number of surprises. It’s fascinating to trace the ebb and flow of intellectual debates within geography and related fields through the pieces that appeared in the journal – topics of concern and types of approach come and go over time. Someone writing an intellectual history of gentrification debates, actor-network theory, critical geopolitics, the reception of Foucault in geography, performativity, the scale debate, or non-representational theory, to take just a few examples, would find lots of interest.
