LOCKDOWN THEORY #33

As countries around the world begin contemplating the end of lockdown measures, the question of the post-pandemic era arose recently in the press.

Identities: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture is an open-access, peer-reviewed international journal that seeks to serve as a platform for the theoretical production of Southeastern Europe and enable its visibility and an opening for international debate with authors from both the “intellectual centers” and the “intellectual margins” of the world. It is particularly interested in promoting theoretical investigations which see issues of politics, gender and culture as inextricably interrelated. It is open to all theoretical strands, to all schools and non-schools of thought without prioritizing any of the canonical Masters of philosophy. It does not seek doctrinal consistency, but it seeks consistency in rigor of investigation which can combine frameworks of interpretation derived from various and sometimes opposed schools of thought. Our passion is one for topics rather than philosophical masters.

Identities is published by the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities - Skopje, North Macedonia.
