Distinktion: Scandinavian Journal of Social Theory publishes innovative papers which make a substantial contribution to the generation of social theory. The Journal invites articles from sociology, political theory, cultural and legal studies, anthropology and philosophy that provide original perspectives on the social. Based in a Scandinavian context, characterized by prioritizing no single theoretical horizon, the Journal creates a space for theoretical contestation that includes both continental and Anglo-American traditions.
Distinktion has published original papers by a number of prominent international scholars, including Nikolas Rose, Engin F. Isin, Rob Shields, Mitchell Dean, Slavoj Zizek, Karin Knorr Cetina, Harrison C. White, Richard Swedberg, Jürgen Habermas, David M. Rasmussen, Jens Bartelson and Eric Alliez. Special issues have appeared on Niklas Luhmann, Carl Schmitt, health, the city, war, Empire, economic sociology, political globalization, Gabriel Tarde, political theology, concepts of politics, and bioeconomy.
Manuscripts are welcomed by the Editors. See Instructions for Authors. All papers are peer-reviewed. Articles appearing in Distinktion are abstracted and indexed in Sociological Abstracts, Worldwide Political Science Abstracts and SocINDEX. Distinktion is electronically available as full text (from vol. 11) at EBSCO (requires access to EBSCO SocIndex).
From 2006 Distinktion only publishes articles in English.
