Vol 29 No 1 of Society and Space is now available – here

It includes five papers on counterterror culture – films, novels, internet discussions – and papers on a range of other topics including animal research, urban planning in China, geographies of discard, and one by Nigel Thrift on lifeworlds. It also has news of an award the publisher, Pion, has received from the Association of American Geographers. Here’s the bit on Society and Space:

Environment and Planning Series D: Society and Space was to be the journal of social theory in geography. Very quickly it became clear that it was not only geographers that were interested in issues of space and social theory – a whole raft of social sciences and humanities were keen to join the conversation too. Environment and Planning Series D has become a pre-eminent site for interdisciplinary discussions around space and theory and involving among others philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, political scientists, and cultural and science-studies theorists.
