Thesis Eleven (Thesis 11) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes works on critical theories of modernity. Peer reviewed and published bimonthly, the journal reflects the broad scope of social theory by encouraging analysis on a wide range of topics across sociology, history, philosophy, political science, geography, cultural studies, literature and cognate fields. The identity of the journal, like its location, is multiple: European in the continental sense, but also transatlantic and antipodean. The journal translates European social theory, mainstream and marginal, and it also takes theory from the margins of the world system to the centres. Marxist in origin, after Marx by necessity, the journal is vitally concerned with change as well as with tradition.
Since it was established, the journal has published the work of some of the world's leading theorists including Niklas Luhmann, Alain Touraine, Immanuel Wallerstein, Martin Jay, Richard Rorty and Agnes Heller.
Review Section
Each issue of the journal contains a review section including review articles and reviews of the latest publications in social theory.
