I’ve spent most of the day being an editor. This is not just for Society and Space, although I did spend a chunk of time on that today, but also for other projects. The Reading Kant’s Geography book is going through final proofing, so that is nearly out of our hands. I spent some time working on the selections for the Environment and Planning compilation that Sage are publishing. I have the long-lists for two of the other journals, so it’s a case of working with the editors of those volumes to fine-tune them, as well as thinking which papers from these journals might go into the fifth, ‘Foundations’, volume which draws on the series as a whole. I’m also working on the Society and Space list. This is no small or easy task – thinking of just 20 papers to represent the depth and breadth of almost thirty years of publishing. At the moment I’m looking at ‘Gender’, ‘The Body’, ‘Human and Non-Human Landscapes’, ‘Geopolitics’ and ‘Political Economy’ as the thematic divisions in that volume.

I’m also beginning the editing work for the Sloterdijk Now volume. There are some really interesting pieces in this.

These will be my fifth, sixth and seventh edited books in just eight years – Lefebvre’s Key Writings came out in 2003. That might be it for a while…
